NORMAN — Down three points entering the final quarter, the Oklahoma women's basketball team needed a spark — and fast.
Coach Sherri Coale sensed something big was coming from the energy shift in her huddle.
Just 10 seconds in, freshman guard Shaina Pellington dropped in a layup to ignite a firestorm.
That bucket kicked off a 12-0 run to open the fourth quarter and propel the Sooners to an 84-71 victory over TCU at Lloyd Noble Center.
"It took the timeout between the third and fourth quarter to wake up and realize you don't think basketball during the course of the game, you play basketball and we forgot to play," Coale said.
