Oklahoma thwarted Nebraska's chance at matching its longest home winning streak of 29 games.  The Huskers were sitting on 28 consecutive home wins before the loss to the Sooners.

Oklahoma broke a streak of three straight road losses, getting its first victory away from home since the season opener.  The Sooners had not lost four straight road games since losing seven in a row on the road in 1998-99, Sherri Coale's third season as head coach.

The win was the 648th in program history in 1,088 total games (59.6 percent) in the program's 37th season.  It was the 324th win for Sherri Coale, who has coached exactly half of the program's victories in her 15th season.

The Sooners' defense forced 15 Nebraska turnovers while allowing only 16 field goals.   For the season, OU's opponents have 284 field goals and 276 turnovers.

Nebraska's 50 total points, 16 made field goals and 29.6 percent field goal shooting were all season lows.

Nebraska's 50 points were the third fewest allowed by an OU opponent this season behind Western Illinois's 43 and Sam Houston State's 45. 

Oklahoma made 10 or more 3-pointers for the sixth time this season.  The Sooners have hit no fewer than four in every game.  Four Sooners made 3's Saturday against Nebraska, including four each by Whitney Hand and Morgan Hook.

With three steals in the game, Danielle Robinson moved past Dionnah Jackson (2002-05) for third on OU's career list.   Robinson finished the game with 266 steals in her career.

Whitney Hand continued her recovery with an 18-point performance that was second only to game leader Aaryn Ellenberg's 19.   Hand also dished four assists without having a turnover in 27 minutes of playing time.

Aaryn Ellenberg totaled a game-leading 19 points, team-leading six rebounds and season-high three steals.

Morgan Hook totaled 16 points, four rebounds and two assists in a season-high 36 minutes played.  Hook was 6-for-9 from the field, including a 4-for-6 3-point shooting performance.
