NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Damion Baugh scored 20 points and Texas Christian won at Norman for the first time in program history, beating Oklahoma 72-63 on Monday night.

Baugh grabbed a clutch rebound, then knocked down two free throws and Micah Peavy added two more from the line with 16 seconds left.

Baugh hit 8 of 13 shots from the field and 3 of 4 from the line while grabbing eight rebounds for the Horned Frogs (14-4, 3-3 Big 12), who swept the season series with Oklahoma, having defeated the Sooners in 59-58 in overtime in Fort Worth on Jan. 15. Eddie Lampkin scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for TCU and Mike Miles added 11 points and five assists.

The Horned Frogs shot 52.8 percent from the field (28 of 53) and held a 22-point advantage on the boards, outrebounding the Sooners 42-20.
