Sooners Hold Off No. 20 Michigan at Jumpman Invitational
December 17, 2024 | Women's Basketball
CHARLOTTE (AP) – Payton Verhulst and Skylar Vann each scored 12 points, and No. 10 Oklahoma beat No. 20 Michigan 72-62 on Tuesday night at the Jumpman Invitational.
Lexy Keys added 11 points and Sahara Williams had 10 for the Sooners (10-1), who scored 20 points off 26 Wolverines turnovers. Raegan Beers added 10 rebounds.
Mila Holloway scored 20 points to lead Michigan (9-2), while Jordan Hobbs had 14 before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
It was a close game for the first three quarters, but mistakes finally caught up with the Wolverines. Oklahoma took advantage, pulling away midway through the fourth quarter after Keys and Vann buried 3-pointers to give the Sooners their largest lead of the game at 11.
TAKEAWAYS
Michigan: It was a sloppy night for the Wolverines, who struggled with Oklahoma's defense. Some of the mistakes were self-inflicted, but the Sooners' defense clearly caused Michigan problems.
Oklahoma: The taller Sooners did a better job on the glass and outrebounded Michigan 44-37.
KEY STAT
Michigan was just 9 of 16 from the free-throw line while Oklahoma was 16 of 24.
KEY MOMENT
Keys' 3-pointer with 7:28 left in the fourth quarter gave the Sooners a 59-51 lead and the breathing room they had been looking for all game.
UP NEXT
The Sooners return to Norman to face Omaha at Lloyd Noble Center on Sunday at 3 p.m. CT.
