Oklahoma (4-1) defeated Oregon (5-2) 90-80 in its final game of the PK80 Invitational Sunday afternoon. 

The Sooners took the lead early in the first half and held on for the win, despite a lead change from the Ducks halfway through the second. 

Freshman guard Trae Young led Oklahoma with 43 points and seven assists. He is the first Oklahoma player to drop more than 40 points since Buddy Hield recorded 46 points in the Sooners' triple-overtime thriller against Kansas in 2016.

Young's biggest moment was when he dropped a deep three late in the second half to help keep his team on top.

Junior guard Christian James and junior center Jamuni McNeace also finished in double figures with 11 and 10 points, respectively. 

The Sooners shot 43 percent from the field and 26 percent from deep. Despite an eight-minute offensive lull in the second half, Oklahoma stayed alive from free throws, scoring 34 points from the line in the win. 

Oregon recorded eight shots from deep and had five players post double-digits, but the Sooners' defense managed to stifle a comeback from the Ducks. 

Oklahoma returns home on Thursday, Nov. 30, to face North Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.
