Oklahoma women's basketball: Portia Durrett records double-double in OU's win over Cal State Northridge

But she rediscovered her rhythm off the bench Saturday.

Once that happened, Durrett delivered in a big way with her first Division I double-double to guide No. 18 Oklahoma to a 79-57 victory over Cal State Northridge in the Lloyd Noble Center to finish out nonconference play.

Durrett scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench for the Sooners, providing a spark with senior Joanna McFarland in foul trouble.

“I definitely got comfortable in the second half,” Durrett said. “Once I saw my teammates going in the first half, it was like I got to keep it going.”

Along with Durrett's outburst, OU's Aaryn Ellenberg remained hot with a game-high 24 points. Nicole Griffin and Sharane Campbell added 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The second half saw the Sooners (10-2) build a 32-point lead, making Cal State Northridge (6-5) look nothing like the team that recently beat UCLA, a team that beat OU in November.

“They are a better basketball team than they appeared to be today,” Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. “Obviously, they live and die by that 3 ball a lot, but we rushed their 3s and took their first options away, and that created some of that.”
