No. 3-ranked Baylor women’s basketball defeated Oklahoma 74-65 on Monday night at the Ferrell Center, remaining undefeated in Big 12 Conference play.
The Lady Bears (22-1, 12-0) held the Sooners (12-12, 7-6) to just two points in the final three minutes to hang on for the win.
Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said Oklahoma was just as driven to win as Baylor.
“It was just two competitive teams playing their best,” Mulkey said.
Sophomore forward Lauren Cox led Baylor with a career-high 24 points on 12-for-17 shooting while senior guard Kristy Wallace contributed nine points, six rebounds and 12 assists.
