The ninth-ranked Oklahoma women's basketball team is off too another fast start in 2024-25, earning its third win of the season in record-setting fashion with a 122-56 home win on Wednesday over Western Carolina.
The 122-point performance set a new program record, eclipsing the previous high-water mark of 121 achieved twice, in 2007 and 1990. The Sooners' 66-point victory margin is also the largest under four-year head coach Jennie Baranczyk and the fifth largest in Sooners' women's basketball history.
Oregon State transfer Raegan Beers again led the Oklahoma avalanche with 27 points and nine rebounds, her third consecutive game of 20 or more points. Beers connected on 12 of 14 field-goal attempts and was one of five Sooners in double figures and seven with at least eight points. Twelve different OU players scored in the game.
The Sooners have defeated their first three opponents in the 2024-25 season by an average margin of 48 points while averaging 97.7 points a game. The OU women shot an incredible 62.3 percent from the field (48 of 76). You have to go back nine years to the last time (2015-16) the Sooners shot as well as 60 percent in a game.
Oklahoma closed out the first half against Western Carolina on an 11-0 run to take a 56-25 lead into the locker room and doubled the score on the Catamounts in the second half, outscoring them 66-31.
The Oklahoma women do not play again until next Tuesday, when they will take to the road for the first time this season, traveling to meet in-state rival Wichita State.
