Recap |  Box Score

OU snapped a six-game losing streak in Big 12 Conference road games that dated back to last season.  No. 23 Kansas State was the second straight ranked opponent the Sooners beat, having defeated then-No. 10 Texas Tech in Norman last Wednesday.

The defeat is Kansas State's first in Big 12 play and at home this season.  The Wildcats were previously 7-0 in Bramlage Coliseum.

Oklahoma was without junior forward Joanna McFarland, who suffered a fractured jaw in Saturday's game at Oklahoma State.  It was the first time in McFarland's collegiate career (88 career games played, 35 starts) to miss a game.

Freshman Sharane Campbell made her first career start, replacing the injured McFarland.

Sophomore Aaryn Ellenberg scored a season-high 31 points.  Ellenberg hit 11 of 22 field goals, including 5-of-8 3-pointers, and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line.

Ellenberg totaled nine steals, eclipsing her previous single-game best of five.  Ellenberg was the first Sooner to have that many steals since Dionnah Jackson had nine against Iowa on Nov. 27, 2004.

Ellenberg's 31 points were the most by an individual opponent against Kansas State this season.  Her nine steals were an opponent record inside Bramlage Coliseum.
