Houston led from start to finish as the Cougars set the tone early with a 9-0 run, highlighted by two buckets underneath from Maya Jones. Oklahoma would manage to tie things ups right before the first media timeout of the ball game, but that's as close as the Sooners would get. Dorian Branch, Tatyana Hill and Julia Blackshell-Fair would all sinks baskets before the break, highlighted by a on-the-run buzzer-beater from Branch to ignite the crowd and give Houston a 28-16 lead entering the second quarter.

Hill cleaned the glass for Houston with five rebounds in the frame. OU would go on a 10-6 run to close out the second quarter and still trail by 40-35 at the half.
Houston came out energized in the third quarter, outscoring OU 23-15 in the frame and holding them 0-of-3 from long-range. The Houston bench got involved, outscoring the Sooner bench 12-4. Jazmaine Lewis and Bria Patterson played valuable minutes for the Cougars combining for eight points as Patterson accounted for two of Houston's four made three-pointers in the frame. The Cougars would head to the final quarter leading Oklahoma 63-50.
Oklahoma put up strong offensive effort in the final ten minutes of regulation, but it wouldn't be enough as the Cougars closed out the game with 40.0 percent shooting in the fourth quarter.
