Sooners’ late run, Williams’ game-winner stun Okla. State
By Tyler Palmateer
Transcript Sports Editor
Oklahoma led for a little more than one minute Wednesday.
Seemingly left to suffer defeat over the final two minutes, the Sooners staged a furious rally and Madi Williams hit the game-winning layup out of a timeout with one second left to beat Oklahoma State 77-75 in Stillwater.
Taylor Robertson scored 25 points off 7-of-11 shooting from 3-point range, Ana Llanusa had 20 points and Williams finished with 18, including a 3-pointer that tied the game at 75 and her short drop-in off the glass that gave OU its first Big 12 win this season.
Oklahoma State had its largest lead of the game, 74-61, with 2:18 remaining before the Sooners finished on a 16-1 run. The Cowgirls were held without a field goal over the final 2:56.
OU hit four 3-pointers in that span, two from Robertson and Williams’ only two on the night.
With the game tied, OSU’s Vivian Gray missed a jumper with 3 seconds left and it fell into the hands of the Sooners, who called timeout to advance the ball past halfcourt.
With Tatum Veitenheimer inbounding the ball, Robertson was a useful decoy as she drifted out to the 3-point line, but the Sooners — who made 12 of 19 shots from beyond the arc— went inside instead.
Gabby Gregory came across the lane to set a screen for Williams, freeing her under the basket for a pinpoint lob pass from Veitenheimer, which led to the winning basket.
