Oklahoma Takes Down No. 10 Texas
All five starters scored in double figures and Lexy Keys drained a 3-pointer from the corner to give Oklahoma a 91-87 win over No. 10-ranked Texas in Austin on Wednesday night.
Skylar Vann had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Nevaeh Tot had 14 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers, Payton Verhulst scored 18, Sahara Williams had 13 points and eight rebounds and Keys finished with 15 points on 4-of-10 shooting from 3-point range as OU took down the Longhorns.
OU improved to 12-6 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play, while Texas fell to 18-3 and 5-3.
It was coach Jennie Baranczyk’s third win over a top-10 opponent, and it was Texas’ first loss to an unranked opponent this season.
It was also OU’s 900th win in the program’s history, making the Sooners just the 45th program in the country to reach that milestone.
Texas got 29 points from Madison Booker and 22 from Shay Holle, but the Sooners were too much. OU had 21 assists (Texas had 10), and the Sooners compiled 16 points off turnovers (Texas had 6).
OU led for nearly 33 minutes of action and even built a 13-point lead in the second half before Texas mounted a comeback that reached 85-84 before Keys’ 3-pointer with 41 seconds to play gave the Sooners some breathing room.
