TULSA, Okla. – No. 17/18 Oklahoma women's basketball closed its road non-conference slate with a 75-62 victory over Tulsa at Donald W. Reynolds Center on Wednesday night for its seventh straight win.
Three Sooners (8-1) scored in double-digits, led by redshirt senior forward Kaylon Williams' 21 points and 12 rebounds. Williams, who recorded her 12th career double-double in the win, knocked down nine shots on a career-high 17 field goal attempts in 22 minutes of action.
Redshirt junior guard Maddie Manning finished with a career-high 19 points on 5 of 7 from the floor, chipping in a season-high seven rebounds against Tulsa (2-7). Manning has scored in double figures in back-to-back games for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Junior guard Derica Wyatt added in 10 points on 4 of 8 shooting with a pair of 3-pointers.
“I thought we jumped out tonight and maybe played the best we've played all year to begin the game,” head coach Sherri Coale said. “We were taking quality shots and knocking them down early. I thought we did a lot of good things in the first half. (Kaylon Williams) was a warrior for us in the post and ended up having a really good stat line. Her and Maddie (Manning) were terrific for us tonight.”
The Sooners jumped out to an early advantage and ended the first quarter on 16-5 run. Manning paced OU with 11 points in the opening stanza, while Williams added in nine points and five rebounds to help give the Sooners a 40-24 halftime advantage.
OU stretched its lead to 61-38 with 9:53 remaining in the fourth quarter and finished the game 26 of 65 (.400) from the field. Tulsa outscored the Sooners, 24-14, in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit down to 13 to close the game.
The Sooners had a strong night at the free throw line, hitting 17 of 23 (.739) at the charity stripe. Manning led OU with a 7 for 9 performance from the free throw line. Redshirt junior guard Peyton Little was 4 for 4 at the charity stripe and finished with nine points.
The Sooners pulled down a season-high 54 rebounds, winning the battle on the glass by a margin of 16 boards. Four OU players finished with five or more rebounds led by K. Williams (12) and Manning (7). Junior guard T'ona Edwards tied a season-high with six rebounds, while sophomore guard LaNesia Williams collected a season-high five boards. OU outscored Tulsa, 34-18, in the paint and finished with 16 second chance points.
The Golden Hurricane were led by Teanna Reid's 15 points, while Ashley Clark, a former high school teammate of Kaylon Williams, added in 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds for Tulsa.
The Sooners are now 12-1 at Tulsa and lead the all-times series, 25-2. OU is off to its best start since the 2012-13 season.
