Feb 7, 2009 - 12:54 PM Colorado (9-12) at No. 2 Oklahoma (22-1), 1:30 p.m. ESTNORMAN, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Oklahoma used a late rally to preserve its perfect Big 12 Conference record in its last game. It's hoping for an easier time on Saturday.

Off to its best start in league play since 1985, Oklahoma (22-1, 8-0 Big 12) went on a 16-1 run to turn a nine-point deficit into a 75-69 lead with 11 seconds remaining against Texas A&M on Wednesday. Taylor Griffin had the go-ahead layup with 46 seconds to play as the Sooners went on to a 77-71 triumph.
Blake Griffin had 16 points and 14 rebounds and older brother Taylor scored 13 as Oklahoma improved to 13-0 at home this season.
Colorado (9-12, 1-6) has dropped nine of its past 11, including a 55-53 setback to Nebraska on Wednesday.
Cory Higgins is averaging 17.3 points to lead the Buffaloes, who won the lone regular-season meeting with the Sooners last season, 72-58.
