NORMAN, Okla. – Despite four Terriers scoring in double figures, the Wofford men's basketball team fell at Oklahoma 75-64 on Sunday afternoon. A 15-3 run in the second half and an 18 point, 11-rebound effort from Oklahoma's Brady Manek led the Sooners to victory.

Wofford is now 2-2 thus far, returning to the court on Wednesday when it plays host to Coppin State (7 p.m.). 

Fletcher Magee led the Terriers in scoring with 19 points on 7-of-18 shooting, going 5-for-13 from 3-point range. Cameron Jackson (11), Nathan Hoover (10) and Storm Murphy (10) all contributed double-digit scoring in the effort, while big man Keve Aluma led Wofford with nine rebounds.

"I didn't think we had the pop today," said head coach Mike Young. "We didn't have the attention to detail. We gave up four points off an out of bounds under, we fouled on an out of bounds under, we didn't shoot free throws well, and you can't expect to win doing that."
 
Wofford did not score until the 15:48 mark of the first half, when Magee drilled his first 3-pointer of the game making it 6-3 Oklahoma. Wofford continued to chase Oklahoma, trading buckets until a Hoover trey gave Wofford its first lead with 11:14 left in the first half (15-14).

Oklahoma would take the lead back until Chevez Goodwin drew a foul and scored a bucket with 1:12 to play, giving Wofford a 36-34 lead. Wofford led 38-37 at halftime after a pair of Ryan Larson free throws gave the Terriers the one-point advantage. 

Manek opened the second with a 3-pointer that put the Sooners ahead by a point, but Magee and Hoover 3-pointers would put Wofford back out in front 45-42. Jackson started to establish his presence in the paint, scoring back-to-back buckets down low and swatting a shot out of play as the teams traded points midway through the second half.

With 9:45 to play in the half, the score was 56-54 in favor of Oklahoma, as Manek worked his way into the paint for a 3-point play that sparked the 15-3 run for the Sooners. As a team, Oklahoma was 19-30 from the free throw line, with six of the 15 points during the run coming from the line. 

"Their athleticism showed," said Young. "We missed shots and we weren't very cohesive in those last 10 minutes. We played okay, but not good enough on the road against a team as well-coached as they are."
