Courtney Paris scored 21 points and had 18 rebounds, her 33rd consecutive double-double, as third-ranked Oklahoma routed Lamar 79-44 Wednesday in Beaumont, Texas.
Nyeshia Stevenson scored 13 and Leah Rush added 11 for the Sooners (5-0), who’ve won 19 straight regular-season games and 11 straight on the road.
