In Baylor’s win in Norman on Jan. 3, 2023, Sarah Andrews dropped a career-high 30 points against the then-No. 17 Sooners, going 5-of-12 from behind the 3-point arc and a career-best 9-for-11 from the free throw line. Oklahoma has won three of the last five meetings between the two programs, breaking a 12-game win streak by the Bears during the 2021-22 season.
