No. 23 Baylor (11-3, 2-0 Big 12) 81, No. 17 Oklahoma (11-2, 1-1 Big 12) 70
Norman, Okla. (Lloyd Noble Center)
Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023


  *   In their first true road game of the season, the No. 23 Baylor Bears picked up the 81-70 victory over the No. 17 Oklahoma Sooners at the Lloyd Noble Center.
  *   Baylor moved to 34-27 all-time in the series with Oklahoma and 16-12 on the road.
  *   The win marked BU’s second top-25 victory of the season.
  *   The Bears held the Sooners to 18 points below their season average (88.42).
  *   Baylor used a 16-1 run behind eight points from Bella Fontleroy to jump to a 21-5 lead in the opening frame, holding the Sooners to just 6.3% (1-for-16) shooting from the floor. The five points by OU were the fewest in a quarter by the Sooners in at least the last five seasons.
  *   Junior Sarah Andrews poured in a career-high 30 points, marking the sixth 20-plus point performance of her career.
  *   For the second-straight game, and 11th time this season, Jaden Owens led the Bears in assists, finishing with six.
  *   Owens recorded a career-high six steals – the most in a game by a Bear since Dijonai Carrington tallied just as many in a win over McNeese on Dec. 19, 2020.
  *   Fifth-year Caitlin Bickle notched her second double-double of the season, and second of her career, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
