OKLAHOMA CITY -- Markis McDuffie scored his 1,000th career point, but Wichita State otherwise struggled offensively in an 80-48 loss to Oklahoma Saturday afternoon at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
 
McDuffie – playing his 100^th career game -- finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and three steals.
 
The senior forward from Paterson, N.J. came into the day needing just 10 more points to become the 47^th member of WSU's 1,000-point club. He reached that mark at the 9:47-mark of the first half on a three-pointer.
 
Freshman guard Erik Stevenson tallied eight points, five rebounds and a pair of steals off the bench for WSU (4-4).
 
Jaime Echenique put up seven points, four rebounds and a block. He's swatted at least one shot in each of his first eight games as a Shocker.
 
Christian James and Miles Reynolds paced Oklahoma (8-1 and receiving votes in the latest AP Poll) with 14 points each. James also pulled down 13 rebounds.
 
WSU ended at 24.2 percent from the field – its worst team percentage in over 20 years – on 15-of-62 shooting. The Sooners entered the day ranked among the nation's top-25 in field goal percentage defense.
 
OU outrebounded the Shockers 52-33 – the worst margin in 12 seasons under Gregg Marshall.
 
The Shockers forced 18 Sooner turnovers (matching their season-high) but committed 15 on the opposite end.
 
WSU's 48-point performance came on the 10^th anniversary of its last sub-50-point game – a 57-48 loss to TCU on Dec. 8, 2008.
 
The Shockers trailed by eight at halftime, 35-27, despite shooting just 28 percent.
 
McDuffie had 13 of his 19 points in the first 20 minutes
 
Echenique's three-pointer sliced the margin to five, 35-30, but the Sooners outscored the Shockers 29-6 over the next 11 minutes to build a commanding 64-38 lead with 8:06 to play.
 
The Shocker shooting slump deepened in the second half when they hit just 4-of-16 shots, including 1-of-11 from three.
 
OU padded its lead in garbage time, finishing on 6-0 run to push the final margin north of 30 points.
 
It was WSU's first 30-plus point loss under Marshall and the school's first since Feb. 1, 2003 -- a 94-59 setback against Southern Illinois at the Kansas Coliseum.
