He threw it down. Those are things that Im not accustomed to. I dont know the degree of difficulty that had, but it looked like a pretty impressive play by a young man whos just starting to feel how good he can be and understand the impact he can have on our team and our season.Smith finished with 13 points after going scoreless in the first half, and was named outstanding player. Zach Brown scored 17 points and Darral Willis added 12 for the Shockers (9-2), who won their fourth straight.Wichita State shot just 39.7 percent from the field, but the Shockers made up for it by holding Oklahoma to 30.8 percent shooting.Jordan Woodard matched a career high with 28 points, Christian James scored 15 and Rashard Odomes added 10 for the Sooners (6-3).A tough ballgame, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said.
