East Texas A&M Earns Stunning Win over Oklahoma
Bo Aldridge scored 22 points and made two free throws in the final seconds as East Texas A&M earned its first win over Oklahoma.
On Monday, East Texas defeated Oklahoma 68-64 in the season opener at Lloyd Noble Center, with Bo Aldridge scoring 22 points on 8-for-12 shooting to lead the Lions.
Oklahoma entered as a 30-point favorite but played without leading scorer Xzayvier Brown, who missed the game due to a lower-body injury sustained in practice.
The Sooners converted only 17 of 32 free-throw attempts while the Lions led by 16 early in the second half, with Mohamed Diakite and Alonzo Dodd each scoring 15 points.
Thomas Duchamp put the Lions ahead with a layup, and Aldridge sealed the victory by making two free throws with three seconds remaining as Oklahoma pulled within two late.
East Texas heads to Houston to play Rice on Thursday, while Oklahoma hosts Mississippi Valley State at 7 p.m. Friday at McCasland Field House.
