STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma trailed most of the game, but an overpowering second half guided the Sooners past Oklahoma State, 81-74, in Stillwater on Saturday afternoon.
The win pushed Oklahoma (15-6, 9-1 Big 12) into a tie atop the Big 12 standings with No. 2 Kansas State, and third-year head coach Jennie Baranczyk is now 5-0 vs. the Cowgirls (11-11, 4-7 Big 12).
The Sooners trailed early as the Cowgirls used their home-court advantage to jump out to a 12-7 lead in the first quarter. OU got within two later in the frame, but OSU’s Hannah Gusters was effective inside as the Cowgirls took a 24-16 lead into the second. Oklahoma outscored OSU 17-16 to cut into the deficit but trailed by seven, 40-33, at the break.
