Sooners Dominate Lady Raiders in Commanding Home Victory at Lloyd Noble Center
The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Tech Lady Raiders clashed on the court, with the Sooners emerging victorious with a decisive 73-55 scoreline. The victory adds to the Sooners' impressive record, while the Lady Raiders left with another addition to their loss column.
From tip-off at Lloyd Noble Center, it was clear that the Oklahoma Sooners were on a mission. The home team set an aggressive pace early on, ending the first quarter ahead by eight points. Their dominance continued throughout each quarter, never allowing their opponents to close in or take control of the game.
The Sooners' offensive execution was clinical; they shot 43 percent from field goals and an outstanding 78 percent from free throws. Their two-point shots were particularly effective as they made 21 out of 40 attempts, translating to a solid 52 percent shooting performance inside the arc. Beyond scoring efficiency, ball distribution was exemplary for Oklahoma as evidenced by their substantial assist count of 25 for the game.
Defensively, Oklahoma also shone brightly against Texas Tech's offense. They racked up a total of eleven steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring an impressive 28 points off them. This defensive pressure contributed significantly to Texas Tech's total turnover count of twenty-four.
The Lady Raiders fought valiantly but struggled to keep pace with Oklahoma's intensity throughout all four quarters. Despite shooting a respectable forty percent from field goals and thirty-three percent from beyond the arc, turnovers proved costly for them as they could not match up against Oklahoma's high-pressure defense.
Texas Tech did have moments where they excelled; they managed fourteen second-chance points and had twenty-two points in paint contributions which showed their ability to capitalize inside when opportunities presented themselves. However, these efforts were overshadowed by Oklahoma’s relentless gameplay which included fifteen fast break points showcasing their speed and transition efficiency.
