Jeremiah Fears converted a four-point play with 11.5 seconds remaining to lift No. 14 Oklahoma over No. 24 Michigan 87-86 at the Jumpman Invitational on Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C.

Fears, the Sooners’ freshman sensation, finished with a career-high 30 points — 20 in the second half. With Oklahoma (11-0) trailing by three, he came off a screen to drain the game-tying 3-pointer as a foul knocked him off his feet. Fears tacked on the free throw.

Michigan (8-3) tried to get the ball inside but had to settle for a Tre Donaldson 3-point try with three seconds left. But Donaldson’s shot hit off the back of the rim, and while Michigan’s Danny Wolf grabbed the rebound, he didn’t have time to get a shot off before time expired.

Vladislav Goldin led Michigan with 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting from the field.
