Oklahoma’s season concluded Friday night with their 62-58 Sweet 16 loss to Michigan State.

The Sooners (24-11) were led by the duo of guard Buddy Hield (21 points, six rebounds) and forward Tashawn Thomas (16 points, seven rebounds).

However, no other Sooner scored in double figures, with the team totaling only 21 points from those six players.

The Spartans (26-11) were led by guards Travis Trice (24 points) and Denzel Valentine (18 points, seven rebounds).

The teams combined to shoot 13-for-44 (29.5) percent from the 3-point line, 29 offensive rebounds and 74 total rebounds.
