NORMAN, Okla. (AP) --- Tae Davis had 19 points, Nijel Pack and reserve Kuol
Atak both scored 18, and Oklahoma used an 18-0 second-half run to beat Georgia
94-78 on Saturday.
Davis made 7 of 10 shots and 5 of 7 free throws for the Sooners (13-12, 3-9
Southeastern Conference), who beat No. 15 Vanderbilt by a point on the road
last time out to end a nine-game losing streak. Pack hit 6 of 10 shots with
four 3-pointers and Atak did his damage on 6-for-7 shooting from beyond the
arc. Reserve Dayton Forsythe scored 13.
Blue Cain scored 20 to pace the Bulldogs (17-8, 5-7), who have lost two
straight and 5 of 6. Marcus Millender had 16 points and Kareem Stagg scored 10.
Pack hit two 3-pointers and a jumper and Atak added another 3 in the Sooners'
18-point run, turning a seven-point deficit into a 60-49 lead with 13:36
remaining.
Atak and Pack made consecutive 3s to push the advantage to 16 and the Sooners
led by double digits over the final 11:30.
Georgia led 11-7 when play stopped for a few minutes after a popcorn machine
caught fire at a concession stand.
Forsythe hit a 3 to put Oklahoma up 12-11 and the lead changed hands 13 times
over the final 14:30 before halftime. Atak hit a 3 with three seconds left and
the Sooners trailed 43-41 at halftime.
Georgia made its first nine shots and went into the break shooting 71% --- 17
for 24. The Bulldogs shot 38% in the second half.
