Oklahoma center Reagan Beers scored 10, six less than her average. The Sooners finished the game 18 points below their average for the season.

Crump came off the bench to score 10 in six second-quarter minutes, helping the Longhorns take that 21-point lead. Oklahoma missed 7 of 8 3-pointers in the quarter, its only long-distance basket a heave from around midcourt by Verhulst just ahead of the halftime buzzer.
