FIVE THINGS TO KNOW
• Oklahoma concludes its season-long five-game road swing on Sunday at Auburn for the 2018 SEC/Big Challenge. The Sooners have dropped four straight contests away from home as they head to Auburn to face the Tigers for the first time. OU is 76-75 all-time against current members of the SEC.
• The Sooners are 0-5 all-time in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and are seeking their first win in the event. OU has participated in the event in each of the last four seasons along with Arkansas, Texas and Texas A&M. The Sooners fell in last year's edition to Florida, 80-61, inside Lloyd Noble Center.
• Freshman guard Taylor Robertson has knocked down 29 3-pointers, which is the second-most treys hit by a single player in the country this season. She also ranks second nationally with 4.83 3-pointers per contest. The freshman has scored at least 20 points in three of OU's six games this year and already ranks 10th on the Sooners' freshman record list for 3-pointers made in a single-season. The McPherson, Kan., native hit seven triples and led OU with 23 points at New Mexico on Wednesday.
• Freshman guard/forward Madi Williams is one of five Big 12 players to average a double-double so far this season. Williams is averaging 14.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per contest through six games this year. Williams is tied for fifth nationally in rebounding among freshmen. The Fort Worth, Texas, native finished with 16 points and eight rebounds on the road at New Mexico on Wednesday.
• The Sooners earned their 19th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance last season and tied for third place with an 11-7 mark in the Big 12. The Sooners return two starters from last year's squad: sophomore guard Ana Llanusa (12.6 ppg, 4.0 rpg) and sophomore guard Shaina Pellington (13.1 ppg, 2.2 apg). Pellington was the 2018 Big 12 Freshman of the Year and both players were selected to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team along with earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selections.
