Fears’ layup completed a 14-3 run that erased an 80-70 deficit with 1:26 left in the game. The Sooners (20-13) trailed 83-77 with 0:41 left, but got a 3-pointer by Fears and two Fears steals that led to a pair of baskets — a fast break dunk by Jalon Moore and a layup by Fears — to go ahead in the final seconds.
