Coming off back-to-back losses for the first time this season, the Oklahoma Sooners celebrated Taylor Robertson, the all-time NCAA three-point shooter, in style. It was a 101-78 win over the TCU Horned Frogs. With the win, OU improves to 17-4 on the year and 7-3 in the Big 12.
TCU held a slim lead in the early minutes of the contest for about 15 seconds. It was all OU from then on. Five different Sooners scored in double digits, with Madi Williams leading the way with 26. Robertson had 18.
The Horned Frogs did hang around on the scoreboard through the first half. They only trailed by eight at halftime. Then the Frogs turned the ball over, sent Oklahoma to the foul line, and missed a lot of free throws. TCU went 9 of 18 from the free throw line for a paltry 50%. “Brick” chants rained down from the Pride of Oklahoma members and students that were in attendance whenever a TCU player made her way to the line.
Following the conclusion of the game, Taylor Robertson was honored for breaking the all-time NCAA three-point record. This ceremony involved a video of Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry congratulating Robertson and a few OU Ruf-Neks bringing out two live goats.

Robertson also met Curry face-to-face at the Warriors-Oklahoma City Thunder Game earlier this week.

Robertson is the only woman in college basketball history to make 500 three-pointers in her career.
