NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma's 81-77 overtime victory Sunday (Feb. 12) over defending national women's basketball champion Baylor was the highest-rated regular season women's basketball telecast of all time on FSN Southwest with a 4.0 Nielsen household average rating in Oklahoma City.

It topped the previous regular-season record of 3.7, also set in Oklahoma City on Feb. 27, 2002 for Texas Tech-Oklahoma. The Baylor-OU telecast received its largest audience in the final quarter-hour, scoring a 6.1 rating from 4:30-4:45 PM CT during the game's overtime period.

FSN Southwest's highest-rated women's basketball telecast ever (regular season and playoffs) also belongs to Oklahoma. The Sooners' 2004 Big 12 Tournament championship victory over Texas on March 13, 2004 registered a 6.6 household rating in Oklahoma City. 

There were a record amount of fans in the arena as well, which was packed with 12,112 attendees and set a new Oklahoma state record for a women's basketball game.
