No. 1 Baylor Too Much For Oklahoma At Home

The Sooners kept the game close for the first 10 minutes of the first half, tying the game 18-18 with 9:17 left to play on a Whitney Hand jumper. However, that's when the Bears began to pour it on, outscoring the Bears 25-10 over the next nine minutes – including nine from Jordan Madden – heading into the locker room leading 43-28.

The Bears capitalized on their size advantage in down low to build the lead, outscoring Oklahoma 20-6 in the paint to build a lead.

Oklahoma outscored the Bears 14-8 over the first five minutes of the second half, including five from Morgan Hook and four from Whitney Hand, to cut the lead to 51-42. However, that's when Baylor poured on the offense yet again.

Over the next seven minutes, the Bears outscored the Sooners 16-3 to take a 67-45 advantage. The Sooners' only points coming on a layup from Whitney Hand and a free throw from Sharane Campbell, putting the game out of reach.

Hand finished with a game-high 19 points and seven rebounds in the loss, while Campbell notched 12 points and Ellenberg contributed 11 for the Sooners.
