NORMAN, Okla. -- — Cam Carter had a four-point play and a three-point play in the final 20 seconds to rally LSU to an 82-79 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night, helping the Tigers end a seven-game losing streak by handing the Sooners a fourth straight defeat.
Carter scored 24 of his career-high 29 points in the second half for the Tigers (13-12, 2-10 Southeastern Conference). Jalon Moore made two free throws to give the Sooners (16-9, 3-9) a 79-74 lead with 35 seconds remaining. But Moore fouled Carter on a successful 3-pointer and Carter made the free throw to get LSU within a point.
Carter turned a steal by Curtis Givens III into a three-point play with eight seconds left for an 81-79 lead. Jeremiah Fears missed inside for Oklahoma and Vyctorius Miller made 1 of 2 free throws inside the final second to wrap up the win.
Carter made 10 of 17 shots from the floor — including 5 of 10 from 3-point range — and all four of his foul shots for the Tigers. Daimion Collins scored a career-high 22 before fouling out. Dji Bailey added 13 points and five rebounds.
Fears had 15 points to lead Oklahoma, which had just completed a stretch of five straight games against ranked teams. Moore had 14 points and seven rebounds, while Duke Miles added 12 points. Moore and Miles were both 8 for 8 at the foul line where the Sooners made 26 of 32.
