Oklahoma wins Big 12 thriller

Madi Williams had 23 points and nine rebounds, and No. 18-ranked Oklahoma defeated No. 9 Texas, 65-63, Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Taylor Robertson had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Sooners (18-3, 7-2), who remained tied with Iowa State for the Big 12 Conference lead.

Rori Harmon had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Aliyah Matharu added 10 points for Texas (17-4, 5-3), which saw its four-game win streak snapped.

With the score tied at 6363, Oklahoma’s Liz Scott was fouled on a running bank shot with 4.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter. She missed the free throw, and Texas called timeout with 3.6 seconds to play. Harmon then missed what would have been a gamewinning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
