Mookie Blaylock scored 30 points and Harvey Grant added 26 as 12th-ranked Oklahoma survived a scare from upset-minded Georgia, 93-90, in the round-robin Chaminade tournament Friday at Honolulu.

Oklahoma led by as many as eight points midway through the second half before the Bulldogs rallied with nine straight points to go ahead, 79-78, with a little more than six minutes left in the game. The lead then changed hands five times before Ricky Grace hit a three-pointer with about a minute left to put the Sooners ahead for good, 91-89.

It was only the third time in 10 games that the unbeaten Sooners did not reach the 100-point mark.
