Notes: After a stretch of tough losses and bad luck, things turned Oklahoma's direction on Saturday. The Sooners sent Joanna McFarland, Jasmine Hartman, Whitney Hand and Lyndsey Cloman out in style on Senior Night with an 85-77 victory over Kansas. What made it sweeter was how well Hartman (18 points) and McFarland (13) played.
Meanwhile, Kansas State upset Texas Tech in Manhattan. That dropped the Lady Raiders to 11-6 in the Big 12 Conference. When OU improved to 10-7 against Kansas, it set up a battle for third place Monday in Lubbock. The Sooners defeated Tech in Norman on Jan. 12, meaning they win the tiebreaker if both teams finish 11-7. That's important when you consider the third-place team stays out of Baylor's half of the bracket at the upcoming Big 12 Tournament.
For OU to pull into that tie, Aaryn Ellenberg must repeat her performance against Tech six weeks ago. She scored the Sooners' last 13 points, and 26 for the game, to lead OU to a 65-55 triumph.
