No. 16 Oklahoma defeated No. 2 South Carolina 94-82 in overtime during an SEC women's college basketball game on Thursday night in Norman, Oklahoma. The Sooners achieved a 19-7 advantage in the overtime period to secure the win.
Following the game, Oklahoma head coach Jennie Baranczyk met with her players. During this interaction, captured by a camera in the huddle, she stated, "WE’RE F—KING BACK… I love you, I believe in you, and we’re just f—king getting started!"
The victory followed a challenging period for the Sooners, who had a 14-1 start to the season but then experienced three consecutive losses against top-18 ranked teams before Thursday's game.
Under Baranczyk's leadership, Oklahoma has advanced in the NCAA Tournament in all four previous opportunities, including a trip to the Sweet Sixteen last season. This win against a top-ranked team led by head coach Dawn Staley may influence the team's momentum as March Madness approaches.
