No. 24 Oklahoma (10-4, 6-3 Big 12) narrowly upset No. 5 Texas (11-3, 5-2), 80-79, in Austin on Tuesday evening.
The win marks the Sooners’ second-straight victory over an Associated Press top-10 opponent, after they defeated then-No. 9 Kansas in Norman Saturday. Here’s how Twitter reacted to an OU win over the Longhorns that went down to the wire:

Oklahoma starts a big week with a big win. Sooners over Texas by one in Austin. Next up for Lon Kruger’s squad? Alabama on Saturday in Norman. The buzz is already palpable.

Welp, at least that wasn’t the worst intercepted pass to end a Texas-OU game in the last few months.
