Why it matters

This was a major upset victory for Oklahoma, which had been struggling mightily in SEC play. The win over the 15th-ranked Commodores could provide a much-needed boost for the Sooners as they look to turn their season around. For Vanderbilt, the loss represents a missed opportunity to pick up a quality win and strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume.

However, the Sooners were able to hold on for the one-point victory. Oklahoma shot 53.4% from the field and had four players score in double figures, led by Xzayvier Brown's 20 points. Vanderbilt shot 47.4% but was hurt by the absences of starting point guards Duke Miles and Frankie Collins due to injury.
