NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Tommy Mason-Griffin scored 24 points, Cade Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the second double-double of his career and Oklahoma beat No. 9 Texas 80-71 on Saturday in a game dedicated to the memory of late Sooners star Wayman Tisdale.

The Longhorns (19-4, 5-3 Big 12) cut a 19-point, second-half deficit to five in the final 2 minutes but were hampered the whole game by the same free-throw shooting woes that have been an Achilles' heel all season.

Texas made just 10 of its 27 foul shots and were 4 of 11 in the second half.

Freshman Avery Bradley scored 21 points to lead the Longhorns, who have lost four of six since being ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history. Damion James added 12 points and Gary Johnson had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
