WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Tae Davis scored 18 points and Mohamed Wague had a 14-rebound, 11-point double-double for Oklahoma in a 86-68 win over Wake Forest on Tuesday night in the ACC/SEC Challenge.
Derrion Reid added 16 and Nijel Pack scored 13. Two other players added 11 for the Sooners (6-2):Jadon Jones, and Xzayvier Brown. Wague's 14 rebounds were a career-high as he earned his second double-double of the season.
Oklahoma was up 37-35 heading into halftime and took its biggest lead of the game, 66-55 with 7:42 left to play off a 15-7 run that included six points from Jones and four from Davis. A 15-3 run gave Oklahoma an 84-61 lead. A small 7-0 run in the final minutes of the game by Wake Forest (6-3) wasn't enough for a comeback.
The Sooners shot 48% (26 of 54) from the field, while the Demon Deacons managed 34% (19 of 56).
Wake Forest was led by Juke Harris, who had 22 points. He shot 4 of 10 from the field and 12 of 15 from the free-throw line. Nate Calmese added 13 points.
Wake Forest shot 81% (22 of 27) from the line as Oklahoma committed 26 total fouls.
