THREE OSU THINGS TO KNOW

•After sweeping the season series a year ago, Oklahoma State is seeking its first three-game winning streak over Oklahoma since 2011. The last time OSU won back-to-back games in Norman was 1964-65.

•Jeffrey Carroll needs four points to pass Marcus Smart for 35th on OSU’s all-time scoring chart. Carroll has 1,061 points for his career, and is the team leader with 15.2 points per game this season.

•Despite their struggles from the free-throw line in the loss to West Virginia (25-of-36, 69.4 percent), the Cowboys remain seventh nationally with a team percentage of 78.9 at the stripe. Cameron McGriff leads the charge, shooting 92.3 percent from the line.

THREE OU THINGS TO KNOW

•If Trae Young scores 20 or more points, he would be the first player in OU history to score 20 or more points in 12 consecutiv­e games. Stacey King (1988-89) and Wayman Tisdale (1983-84) are the only other Sooners to hit the mark in 11 consecutiv­e games.

•Khadeem Lattin needs two more blocks to reach 200 for his career. Only Al Beal (230), King (228) and Tisdale (209) have reached the mark as Sooners.

•The Sooners are first nationally in points per game with 94.7, topping 90 points in nine of their first 12 games. Last season, Oklahoma hit 90 points just four times all season. Even in the 2016 Final Four season, the Sooners reached that mark just six times.
