The emotions were quite different from the Bedlam match earlier this season. OU overcame a 13-point deficit in the final 2 minutes, 18 seconds of that Jan. 8 contest to register a 77-75 win.

OU sharpshooter Taylor Robertson burned the Cowgirls for 25 points in that first meeting. In the rematch, OSU’s smallest player made the biggest impact.
Ja'Mee Asberry, at 5-foot-5, shadowed the nation’s top 3-pointer shooter all evening. Robertson ended with 11 points and didn’t make a 3 until 5:41 remained.
“She played amazing defense. She played so hard. She stuck with her,” Vivian Gray said. “She stayed with her assignment. She fought over every single screen. They set a lot of screens for her. She played great defense. I’m so proud of Ja’Mee.”
OU kept trying to solve the issue but perhaps put too much attention on trying to get the ball to its sophomore guard.
“Sometimes we rely too heavily on T-Rob making shots. That might be one of the reasons we stand so much on offense,” said OU’s Madi Williams, who scored 19 points. “And whenever she isn’t hitting shots, we’re all standing and it’s one big ball of nothing. I think we need to work harder and figure out how to play without her making shots.”
