Jalen Moore's 20 points lead No. 21 Oklahoma past Alcorn State 94-78
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Jalen Moore scored 20 points to lead No. 21 Oklahoma past winless Alcorn State 94-78 on Saturday night.
Freshman guards Jeremiah Fears and Dayton Forsythe each had 14 points and seven assists for the Sooners (9-0), who finished with five players in double figures.
Omari Hamilton scored 16 points and Davian Williams added 13 points and seven assists for Alcorn State (0-10), which made 10 of 20 3-pointers but committed 18 turnovers leading to 27 OU points.
Alcorn State jumped out to a 25-18 lead before the Sooners went on a 31-16 run to lead 49-41 at halftime. Oklahoma shot 54.7% from the field but just 32.4% from beyond the arc.
Alcorn State: The Braves came out shooting and made their first seven 3-point shots. But Alcorn State was sloppy with the ball and gave the Sooners several fast-break opportunities.
Oklahoma: The Sooners started slowly but started to click in all phases of the game to open up a big lead against a team that looked like they could pull off the upset early on.
Oklahoma led 49-41 at halftime and started the second half on a 19-7 run that featured four steals - two by Duke Miles - and two dunks to open up a 68-48 advantage with 14:40 remaining.
The Sooners 43 bench points included 12 each from Brycen Goodine and Mohamed Wague.
Oklahoma hosts Oklahoma State on Dec. 14, and Alcorn State visits Rice on Dec. 16.
