The Sooners must take care of business against a struggling 2-3 DePaul team before looking ahead to their Top 10 opponent tomorrow. Whether that be Duke, who is 5-1 on the season, and looking to get back on track after an early season loss to Maryland, or former Big 12 foe, Kansas State who have also had a hot start to the season and sit right behind the Sooners at No. 9. 

Regardless of the opponent they face tomorrow, they cannot look ahead and skip over DePaul. While nowhere as strong of a team as K-State or Duke, DePaul can definitely play spoiler to OU's strong start of the season. Both teams will be taking on top competition again tomorrow, but first need to make it through today's matchup, tipping off at 5:30 p.m. EST.

Liz Scott has also been huge for the Sooners off the bench, contributing 12 points as well. For DePaul, Jorie Allen leads the way with 13 points.

Nearly midway through the quarter, OU lead 33-22.From there they really extended their lead with 9 straight unanswered points to make it 42-22. DePaul got a few points quickly on the board, but nothing to even cut into the OU lead as the Sooners head into the locker room with a comfortable lead. 

End Of The First: OU, 27 - DePaul, 17

A second chance layup by Angelina Smith cut the Sooner lead down to 7 as the two teams traded points.
