NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Freshman Trae Young had 26 points and tied an NCAA Division I record with 22 assists as No. 17 Oklahoma rolled past Northwestern State 105-68 on Tuesday night in the Sooners’ first game since moving into the Top 25.
Brady Manek added 22 points and Kameron McGusty had 15 for Oklahoma (9-1). The Sooners have won seven straight games – including an upset of then-No. 3 Wichita State on Saturday – and have scored 90 or more points seven times this season.
Young’s 22 assists tied the major college record set by Tony Fairley of Charleston Southern vs. Armstrong in 1987 and matched by Southern’s Avery Johnson against Texas Southern in 1988 and Syracuse’s Sherman Douglas against Providence in 1989.
Young also broke the former Big 12 record of 18, set by Oklahoma’s Michael Johnson vs. North Texas in 1997, and matched by Oklahoma State’s Doug Gottlieb vs. Florida Atlantic in 1998.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Two sons of retired professional athletes, each considered a top-five high school basketball player in the junior class, led their teams in head-to-head competition in the City of Palms Classic on Tuesday.
The big man’s team won, and he sent the higher-ranked, higher-hyped, Briarwood (N.Y.) Archbishop Molloy, to its Fort Myers, Fla., hotel with the goal of regrouping.
Molloy junior point guard Cole Anthony, son of former NBA point guard Greg Anthony, and 7-foot-2 senior teammate Moses Brown, one of the best guard-post combinations in the nation, combined for 35 points but lost 75-64 to Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) University School in the Classic’s first round at Florida SouthWestern State College’s Suncoast Credit Union Arena.
University School’s Vernon Carey Jr., the 6-9, 245-pound son of former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Vernon Carey Sr., scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds in leading his team to victory while handing Molloy (2-1) its first loss of the season.
