On Saturday, two games featuring Green Bay basketball teams ended on opposite sides of the spectrum.
In the matinee, the Phoenix women outscored St. Louis 25-8 in the first quarter en route to an 87-54 win. Four Phoenix players reached double figures, with Maddy Schreiber leading all players with 19 points while Bailey Butler (13 pts.), Cassie Schiltz (12 pts.), and Natalie McNeal (10 pts) all reached the distinction as well. A 16-2 run ended any threat the Billikens had of getting back into the game. Kyla McMakin led the Billikens with 11 points.
A similar big run sank the Phoenix men in an 81-47 loss to Oklahoma. The visiting Phoenix pushed the Sooners early, pushing to within one point with five minutes to play. The Sooners would end any hope there, going on a 15-0 run to end the first half and a 19-0 run in the second half to keep the lead above 30 points for much of the final frame. The Sooners' defense refused to let Noah Reynolds beat him, allowing him to score just eight points along with Clarence Cummings III. David Douglas Jr. led the Phoenix with 13 points. The Sooners had three players hit double figures and another just a field goal away from joining them as they improved to 10-0 on the season.
