Lady Toppers overcome Power 5 Oklahoma, pick up marquee victory at home

The WKU women's basketball team (6-2) led for 27:33 of clock time against Power 5 opponent Oklahoma (4-4) on Wednesday night, as the Lady Toppers posted their most impressive performance this season en route to a 74-63 home win in Diddle Arena.

OU junior guard Ana Llanusa drained a 3-pointer with 6:14 left to play in the fourth quarter, pulling the Sooners to a 59-56 deficit.

The Lady Toppers went on to outscore the Sooners 15-7 the rest of the way and picked up a marquee victory for the WKU program.

“It’s nice to have Whitney Creech, Raneem [Elgedawy], Dee [Givens] and Sherry Porter who have been in that situation before and they are hungry to prove how good they are,” Collins said.
