Junior college transfer Ebony Parker made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points, both career highs with the Golden Hurricane (3-7).
Kendrian Elliott scored consecutive baskets to give Tulsa its only lead at 7-6 before Oklahoma outscored the Golden Hurricane 19-9 over the final seven minutes of the period. An 8-0 run starting midway through the second quarter put the Sooners in front by double figures for good.
