Women's Hoops Hosts K-State on Senior Night Wednesday

NORMAN – The Oklahoma women's basketball team closes its regular season home slate on Wednesday night when it hosts Kansas State at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners will honor seniors Ana Llanusa, Taylor Robertson and Madi Williams after the 6 p.m. game.

ESPN+ will carry the game with Chad McKee and Dan Hughes on the call, while Brian Brinkley and Tyler Neal have the action on the Sooner Radio Network.

Doors to the arena open one hour before tip and the Lloyd Noble Center's clear-bag policy is in effect. Tickets are still available for purchase for $5.

THE STARTING FIVE

OU's Super Seniors all rank in the top 12 in scoring at Oklahoma, with Williams and Robertson in third and fourth, respectively. Robertson has OU's most games played, starts and minutes in program history, with Williams close behind her. The three, after winning a combined 16 games in 2018 and 2019, have won 47 games in the last two seasons, sent OU back to the NCAA Tournament and catapulted Oklahoma back into the national spotlight.
The Sooners have the country's No. 2 scoring offense, pouring in 85.2 points per game powered by 20.9 assists per game. The Sooners have four players that score in double figures, led by Madi Williams' 16.0 points per game. The Sooners have scored at least 88 points 15 times this season and are undefeated when eclipsing 80 points. The team's 79.1 possessions per 40 minutes are the third most in the country.
Oklahoma's three seniors will potentially play their last game at Lloyd Noble Center on Wednesday night. They've combined for 396 appearances at OU, including 375 starts. As a group, they've scored nearly 6,200 career points, making them not only the nation's highest-scoring active trio, but also the highest-scoring trio in Oklahoma history. After winning just 16 games in their first two years together, the trio has posted a 47-14 record since the start of the 2021-22 campaign.
Following Texas' loss to Baylor on Monday night, a win on Wednesday would move the Sooners back into a tie atop the Big 12 standings. Oklahoma controls its own destiny, and two wins to close the regular season would guarantee at least a share of the program's first Big 12 championship since 2009.
A staple of the NCAA postseason, Oklahoma has appeared in 22 NCAA Tournaments, including 20 since the turn of the century. The Sooners' 22 appearances in the tournament are the second most in the Big 12 Conference and tied for 23rd most in NCAA history.

SERIES HISTORY

Wednesday night's showdown marks the 75th all-time meeting between the Sooners and Wildcats, and 35th in Norman. Oklahoma owns a 44-30 lead all-time vs. K-State.

Oklahoma knocked off K-State in the Little Apple earlier this year, 85-68, behind 20 points from Liz Scott.

LAST TIME OUT

Shaylee Gonzales scored 19 points and No. 19 Texas snapped a first-place tie with No. 13 Oklahoma in the Big 12, beating the Sooners 67-45 on Saturday. Liz Scott scored 13 points with nine rebounds for the Sooners (22-5, 12-4), while Madi Williams finished with eight points and four steals, but the Longhorns outshot the Sooners by 20%.

UP NEXT

Oklahoma closes its regular season with a Bedlam battle in Stillwater on Saturday afternoon. Tip vs. the Cowgirls is set for 2 p.m. at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The Sooners came from 12 points down vs. the Cowgirls in Norman on Jan. 21 to win 97-93.
