NEW YORK (AP) - Sooners' Buddy Hield made two free throws with 9.3 seconds to give Oklahoma the lead after a frantic rally, defeating Seton Hall 86-85 on Friday night in the first semifinal of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
Trailing by six with less than a minute to play, Oklahoma (4-0) converted two steals on inbounds plays to rally for a chance to play the winner of No.1 Michigan State-Virginia Tech in the final on Saturday night.
Oklahoma's Isaiah Cousins, a local star from Mount Vernon who had 19 points, hit a basket to make it 84-79 with 51 seconds left. Seton Hall's Sterling Gibbs then made one of two free throws. Gibbs led all scorers with 26 points.
Cameron Clark followed with a layup then, after a timeout, he stole the inbounds pass and made another layin.
