Lister went out briefly with leg cramps with about 12 minutes left after her reverse fastbreak layup against McFarland capped a 9-2 spurt following Tiffany Clarke's block. But Hook then hit her second 3-pointer of the half to draw Oklahoma within 55-49.

Freshman Maggie Morrison responded with her second 3-pointer of the half to push the Commodores' lead back to nine. Lister's 3-pointer with 7 1/2 minutes remaining gave the Commodores a 61-51 lead.
