The Oklahoma women's basketball team enters Thursday night on a winning streak.

The Sooners have won three in a row and host the Vanderbilt Commodores on Thursday night at Lloyd Noble Center. And since no one in the state of Oklahoma will want to go outside in single-digit temperatures, here's how to watch and everything else to know ahead of OU's next contest.

How to watch

Need to know

The Sooners are on a three-game winning streak, which is already their longest during SEC play. A factor in that is competition, with Vanderbilt being OU's fourth straight unranked opponent, which has been rare during SEC play.

OU was somewhat knocked around during SEC play with a losing conference record before this current run. Vanderbilt isn't far behind record-wise at 19-7 overall and also 7-5 in SEC play.

The Commodores just beat Auburn 98-88 in overtime on Sunday to end a three-game losing streak that knocked Vanderbilt out of the rankings. OU also narrowly beat Auburn 73-71 last week.

The Sooners are back at full-strength wih center and leading scorer Raegan Beers back in action when OU beat Missouri 82-66 on Sunday. Beers averages 16.4 points and 8.8 rebounds a game.

Payton Verhulst has also recently emerged as a major offensive contributor, scoring double digits in the past six games. Verhulst has bumped her scoring average up to 15.

This would also be the perfect time to watch Verhulst and Beers and the rest of the Sooners because admission at Lloyd Noble Center is free Thursday night because of the weather.
