The OU women thump Purdue 61-45.

They look like a refreshed team. Despite some second quarter foul trouble, Peyton Little has lit it up. And they have led by double digits since early second quarter..

The Sooner women had 13 blocks against a much taller Purdue team and won big. The Sooners last five played the last four minutes, and didn't score a point, but OU led 61-39 halfway into the fourth quarter and coasted.

Pierre-Louis had 7 points, 8 rebounds and 7 blocks. Peyton Little had a great game shooting and the Sooners advance to play Monday night, likely against tournament host Kentucky, who is a three seed. OU led by more than 20 for a large part of the second half.

The Big XII is 4-1 so far in the tournament. OSU lost yesterday as a seven seed to St Bonaventure. The only XII team who hasn't played yet is Texas and they are a two seed playing a 15 and should win easily at home.

Actually, the people that actually play for Purdue aren't that tall. Rebounding, as a result, is by committee. Yet, they tied us in rebounding. They do have a 6-5 and 6-6 post, but they don't play more than about ten minutes per game each. The tallest starter is 6-2.

This was a Peyton-Maddie show on offense (20 and 12) as they scored over half of OU's points. As Plaino said, OU blocked 13 shots to force Purdue into shots they didn't want to take (Vivi-7, Kay Kay and Maddie, 3 each). Kay Kay and Vivi chipped in 8 and 7 points. Vivi had 8 rebounds, Maddie 7, Kay Kay 5. T'Ona and Maddie had 3 assists each. Maddie had four turnovers.

Purdue shot 28%.
