Norman - Brandon Mouton scored 25 points to send Number 11 Texas past Oklahoma 68-to-63.

Royal Ivey hit a pair of free throws for the Longhorns with 11.6 seconds left Saturday night.

Jason Klotz wrestled away a late rebound from two Sooners, and P-J Tucker scored on a putback, sealing the win for Texas.

Mouton sparked a 15-and-2 run midway through the second half, turning a 46-to-40 deficit into a 55-to-48 lead with about seven minutes left.

Drew Lavender led Oklahoma with 18 points.
