The OU women’s basketball team has won its sixth consecutive game, beating Florida 89-65 on Thursday in Gainesville.

No. 13 Oklahoma has been on a tear during its six-game winning streak. The Sooners have beaten teams by an average of 18.7 points during this stretch. That was no different on Thursday, dominating the Gators on the road.

OU had six players score double digits in the game. Payton Verhulst led the way for the Sooners, totaling 17 points. Raegan Beers added 16, Skylar Vann 13, Sahara Williams 11, Liz Scott 11 and Zya Vann 10. Oklahoma shot 44% from the field to Florida’s 31%. The Sooners also outrebounded the Gators 52 to 39 and scored 12 more points in the paint.

The win makes OU 22-6 and 10-5 on the season. The Sooners currently sit in a three-way tie for fifth in the SEC with No. 20 Alabama and Ole Miss. Oklahoma can secure the fifth seed in the SEC Tournament with a win on Sunday over the Crimson Tide. A win on Sunday would also likely secure a top-16 seed in the NCAA Tournament, meaning the Sooners would host a regional. Oklahoma is currently ranked 13th as of Thursday evening.

OU and Alabama will tipoff on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the Lloyd Noble Center. It will be broadcast on SEC Network-plus.
