Oklahoma Dominates West Virginia

Skylar Vann scored 16 and Liz Scott and Ana Llanusa each had 15 as No. 20-ranked Oklahoma pounded West Virginia 93-68 Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman.

Nevaeh Tot scored 12 and Madi Williams 11 as the Sooners improved to 18-4 overall and 8-3 in Big 12 Conference play — a half-game out of first place. WVU fell to 14-7 and 5-5.

Ja'Naiya Quinerly scored 24 for the Mountaineers, while Madisen Smith poured in 19.

Oklahoma handed out 29 assists, including a new school record 18 in the first half.

"We played really well today," head coach Jennie Baranczyk said. "It was a really fun day for us, and I thought that our crowd was awesome. I thought that our defensive intensity really fueled us, which it needed to, because West Virginia is really good. They have two of the best guards in this league, and it took an entire team effort to guard them."

OU shot 52 percent from the field (WVU hit 43 percent) and outrebounded the Mountaineers 41-26. OU also outscored WVU in the paint 46-28.

Vann led OU in scoring (7-of-12 shooting) and rebounding (eight boards) to go with three steals.

Scott was 6-of-8 from the floor with three rebounds, two assists and two rebounds.

Beatrice Culliton finished with nine points, six rebounds and three assists, while Aubrey Joens had seven points, five rebounds, five assists and two blocks.

Three-point queen Taylor Robertson finished with just six points but added to her NCAA record career total with a pair of treys on 2-of-4 shooting and added five rebounds and four assists.

Robertson was one of four Sooners with at least four assists, joining Jones, Llanusa and Williams. Llanusa added five rebounds and two steals.

The Sooners led by as many as 33 in the fourth quarter. OU used an 18-4 run to lead 32-16 at the end of the first quarter, 55-37 at halftime, and opened the second half with an 11-0 run.

OU returns to the court Tuesday night at Baylor. The Bears beat the Sooners 81-70 in Norman back on Jan. 3.
