NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Jordan Hamilton scored 20 points, Gary Johnson added 14 and No. 3 Texas continued its perfect run through Big 12 play by beating Oklahoma 68-52 on Wednesday night.
The Longhorns (21-3) are off to a 9-0 start in league play for the first time since doing it in the Southwest Conference 33 years ago. All nine of the wins have been by double figures, the first time Texas has been so dominant to start conference play since the 1921-22 season.
Dogus Balbay had 12 points to help the Longhorns take control from the start, and Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph scored 11 apiece. Texas used its usual stiff defense to limit the Sooners (12-11, 4-5) to 32 percent shooting.
Andrew Fitzgerald led Oklahoma with 16 points, and Steven Pledger scored 13.
