Damion Baugh scored 20 points to lead TCU to a 72-63 victory over Oklahoma on Monday night in Norman, Okla.

It was TCU’s first win at Oklahoma, which had won the first 14 meetings between the programs in Norman.

The Horned Frogs (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) have won two straight and five of their past seven games.

The Sooners have dropped seven of their past nine games.

Oklahoma (13-9, 3-6) trailed by 14 points with 7:19 to play, but rallied to within five, at 68-63, with 38 seconds left.

TCU gave the Sooners an opening, as Mike Miles missed the front half of a one-and-one twice.

Jordan Goldwire missed a corner 3-pointer that would have trimmed the Horned Frogs’ lead to two and TCU put the game away on the foul line.

Eddie Lampkin added a career-high 14 points for TCU. Lampkin made all seven of his shots from the field.

The Horned Frogs shot 52.8 percent from the floor, the first time all season they’ve shot better than 50 percent.

 

Miles added 11 points but shot just 3 of 11.

Oklahoma shot just 33.3 percent from the floor in the second half, going 1-for-13 from beyond the 3-point line.

The Sooners had a season-low six turnovers, but were outrebounded 42-20.

The Horned Frogs didn’t miss a field goal during a more than nine-minute stretch in the second half, stretching their lead from one earlier in the stretch to 14 with just more than seven minutes remaining before Oklahoma started cutting into the deficit.

The Horned Frogs jumped out to a 29-18 lead in the first half with a 12-2 run. The Sooners missed all six of their shots, including four 3-pointers, during the five-minute stretch.

Then Oklahoma made its next six shots to trim the lead to one, 36-35, at halftime.

Goldwire scored 13 points for the Sooners, though he missed all four 3-pointers he attempted. Elijah Harkless, who hadn’t attempted a shot in two games since being moved to the bench, also had 13 points.

Umoja Gibson added 12 points, all in the first half, for Oklahoma.
