Jasmine Hartman goes for a jumper against TCU. Hartman had 3 assists in the 1st Half.

It took awhile for the Sooners to hit their groove in Lloyd Noble Center tonight. After falling to an early 11-0 deficit, the team picked it up and led 30-27 at halftime. Early in the second half, junior Aaryn Ellenberg went down with an ankle injury, but the Sooners didn’t let that stop them, as OU defeated TCU, 74-53.

Key stat: 46. The Sooners shot 46 percent from behind the arc. If that number isn’t staggering enough, it's one percentage point higher than what the team shot from the field.

Key player: Sophomore Sharane Campbell finished tonight with 23 points, five rebounds, one steal and a block. In the absence of Ellenberg, Campbell stepped up in a big way.

What it means: The Sooners bounce back and improve to 16-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big 12. TCU remains winless in Big 12 play.

What’s next: OU hits the road to take on West Virginia at noon Sunday in Morgantown.
