FIVE THINGS TO KNOW

• The Sooners will look to snap a four-game losing streak on Wednesday as OU hosts Kansas at 7 p.m. CT. In OU's last meeting with Kansas on Feb. 2, the Sooners engineered the second-largest comeback in program history to defeat the Jayhawks 94-82 in overtime after trailing by 22 at the half.

• OU leads the all-time series between the teams 41-31 and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. The Sooners also hold a 19-11 advantage against the Jayhawks at Lloyd Noble Center. Kansas has not won a road contest in Big 12 play this season, sitting at 0-7 away from Lawrence.

• In OU's last game, freshman Gabby Gregory scored 30 points to shatter her previous career high as well as to become the Sooners' first newcomer to drop 30 since Aaryn Ellenberg in 2010. Gregory is the only Big 12 freshman to achieve the feat this season.

• With 120 made 3s this season, Taylor Robertson is just two treys away from tying the Big 12 record of 122 that has stood since 2002-03 and three away from setting a new one.

• Robertson was also named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award's top 10. The award recognizes the top shooting guard in women's NCAA Division I college basketball. Robertson is averaging a team-high 20.1 points per game and a nation-leading 4.78 3-pointers per game. The list will be pared down to five finalists in March with the winner named at The College Basketball Awards presented by Wendy's in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, April 10, 2020, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five.

ROBERTSON NAMED TO ANN MEYERS DRYSDALE TOP 10

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Feb. 11 that Oklahoma sophomore guard Taylor Robertson is one of the top 10 candidates for the 2020 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award. Named after the first player, male or female, named to an All-America Team in four straight college seasons, the annual award in its third year recognizes the top shooting guard in women's NCAA Division I college basketball.

Robertson is averaging a team-high 20.1 points per game and a nation-leading 4.78 3-pointers per game. The sharpshooter has knocked down 112 triples to rank second in OU single-season history as well as to become the first Big 12 player to hit 100 or more in back-to-back seasons. Robertson is within striking distance of both the OU (115) and Big 12 (123) single-season treys records.

Robertson is the Big 12's representative on the 2020 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award's top 10 list.

The Selection Committee for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award is composed of top women's college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Meyers Drysdale and the Hall of Fame's selection committee. New to the award this season is Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies. Starting Five Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will go live Friday, February 14 on hoophallawards.com.

The winner of the 2020 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award will be presented at The College Basketball Awards presented by Wendy's in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, April 10, 2020, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard Award, the Cheryl Miller Small Forward Award, the Katrina McClain Power Forward Award, and the Lisa Leslie Center Award, in addition to the Men's Starting Five.

Previous winners of the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year Award include Asia Durr, Louisville (2019) and Victoria Vivians, Mississippi State (2018).
