Oklahoma found itself on the wrong side of a 49-27 halftime score at Kansas on Sunday. Deficits of 18 or more points is not something unfamiliar to the Sooners. Four of their five losses have been margins of that size, but this was a halftime score and on the road.
Despite their losing record against Big 12 opponents, the Lady Sooners have a worse record at home this season (1-3) than away from Lloyd Noble Center (3-2). OU entered the Kansas game with a middling 10-10 record overall and 3-5 in Big 12 play.
While being so far down so early in the game, and against a team that had won just one of eight games in conference play was definitely unfamiliar territory for the OU women, they knew there was another half to play.
