Lady Bears eye No. 1 ranking after rout of Sooners

By Jessika Harkay | Sports Writer

No. 2-ranked Baylor women’s basketball defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 74-53 on Sunday afternoon in Norman, Okla., to advance to 17-1.

With No. 1-ranked Notre Dame falling to North Carolina on Sunday, the Lady Bears could be in line for the No. 1 ranking.

Baylor began the game with a turnover, putting Oklahoma on top early. A consistent back-and-forth scoring battle saw the Lady Bears hold a 20-13 lead going into the second quarter.

Due to the growing number of turnovers and missed shots in the mid-second quarter, the Sooners began to lose momentum and were unable to get a constant offensive going, going into the half down 38-25.
