(11/07/2026) — The Oklahoma Sooners opened their home women's basketball schedule in emphatic fashion, rolling past the Morgan State Lady Bears 95-38 at Lloyd Noble Center on Saturday before 3,535 fans. Oklahoma's shooting efficiency, balanced scoring, and commanding rebounding advantage proved decisive in a game that was never in question. ## How It Happened Oklahoma set the tone immediately. LeeLee Bell converted a layup at 9:47 of the first quarter to put the Sooners on the board, and Morgan State's Simran Williams temporarily tightened things with a 24-foot three-pointer at 6:24 to draw within three at 10-7. That would be as close as the Lady Bears would get. With the score at 14-11, Oklahoma ignited a 21-0 run that effectively ended the competitive portion of the game. Vienna Murray buried a 22-foot three-pointer at 1:55 — Brooklyn Stewart picking up the assist — to push the lead to 21-11. Bell followed with a 25-foot three-pointer off a Sina Hollerl assist at 1:24, making it 24-11, and Hollerl capped the quarter with a 7-foot jumper as time expired to send Oklahoma into the second leading 28-11. The Sooners kept building in the second quarter. Bell converted free throws to extend the cushion, Dru Carlton drilled a 24-foot three-pointer at 3:26 to push Oklahoma to 38-19, and Stewart closed the half with a 13-foot jumper at the buzzer — giving the Sooners a 42-21 halftime lead. The third quarter offered no relief for Morgan State. Stewart opened the second half with a 16-foot jumper, and Sahara Williams added a 24-foot three-pointer at 8:02 to push the margin to 28. Jordan Speiser connected on another long three at 6:46 — stretching the advantage to 33 at 54-21 — before Hollerl closed the period with a three-pointer to send Oklahoma into the fourth leading 70-30. In the fourth quarter, Hollerl connected on back-to-back threes from 23 and 24 feet to push the lead past 40, Sa'Myah Smith added a tip-in layup at 1:42, and Speiser sealed the final margin at 95-38 with a 25-foot three-pointer at 0:22. ## Turning Point The 21-0 Oklahoma run bridging the mid-first quarter was the game's defining sequence. When Morgan State pulled within three at 14-11, the Lady Bears had their best opportunity to establish any competitive footing. Instead, Oklahoma answered with a combination of perimeter shooting and efficient interior scoring — Murray, Bell, and Hollerl all connecting from long range during the stretch — that made any Morgan State response impossible. The Lady Bears finished shooting 24% from the field while committing 24 turnovers, and neither number allowed for any sustained momentum. ## Star of the Game LeeLee Bell delivered the game's signature performance, posting 20 points and 12 rebounds for a double-double. Bell opened the scoring, hit a critical three-pointer during the decisive first-quarter run, and was effective at multiple levels throughout the night. Sa'Myah Smith complemented her with 18 points and 9 rebounds, while Hollerl added 13 points — including four three-pointers over the second half — along with facilitating work for teammates off ball screens and pick-and-roll actions. ## What It Means For Oklahoma, the season-opening performance reinforced a roster built around balance and depth. The Sooners shot 51% from the field, generated 25 assists as a team, and held a 58-23 rebounding advantage — the kind of statistical margins that speak to both offensive execution and physical intensity. Lloyd Noble Center proved an immediately difficult environment for a visiting program. For Morgan State, the Lady Bears face clear statistical benchmarks to address as the season progresses. Shooting 24% from the floor and surrendering 58 rebounds are numbers that will need significant improvement against future competition. Simran Williams led the Lady Bears with 9 points, and Chardae Rumph and Alexiz Graise each added 5 points, but the gap in efficiency across nearly every category reflected the challenge of opening against a Big 12-caliber opponent on the road. --- *Original article: [SEC Women's Basketball: Oklahoma Sooners Dominates Morgan State Lady Bears 95-38](https://secscouts.com/news/sec-women-s-basketball-oklahoma-sooners-dominates-morgan-state-lady-bears-95-38) — SEC Scouts*
