Jalon Moore led No. 12 Oklahoma with 22 points in an 89-67 home win against pesky Prairie View A&M in Norman, Okla., on Sunday.

Jeremiah Fears scored 19 points and Duke Miles added 17 for the Sooners, who are 13-0 for the fourth time in program history and the first time since the 1987-88 season.

Tanahj Pettway led PVAMU with 22 points, while Marcel Bryant added 14.

Braelon Bush and Jordan Tillmon each chipped in 11 points for PVAMU (1-12) which played without leading scorer Nick Anderson (18.9 points per game).

The Sooners finally pulled away from the determined Panthers with 5:20 left on a 10-3 run that included Sam Godwin’s tip-in and was capped by a Glenn Taylor Jr. layup for an 80-63 lead.

A Kobe Elvis 3-pointer capped a game-closing 9-0 Sooners run.

Pettway connected on a 3-pointer from the wing that gave the Panthers a 5-2 lead. PVAMU hung tight on a Bryant jumper that tied the game at 7.

Even though they were short-handed, the Panthers’ largest first-half deficit was only 11.

A Pettway layup and his steal in the full-court press that led to Bryant’s turnaround jumper helped the Panthers closed within 34-30 with 2:14 left in the half.

PVAMU’s rally prompted an Oklahoma timeout, after which Miles drilled a 3-pointer to kick off a half-closing 9-2 spurt for a 43-32 halftime lead.

Bush’s 3-pointer pulled the Panthers within 58-50 with 11:17 left in the game.

It was the Panthers’ 12th straight nonconference road game. PVAMU returns to its home court Saturday against Grambling State. Oklahoma kicks off its first season in the SEC at No. 5 Alabama on Saturday.
