OU Sooner Women's BB travels to Kansas looking for a 16th win !
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2024 7:00 am
The Oklahoma Sooners will look to cement their Big 12 Championship of the Regular Season today in a 4 PM game in Lawrence, KA against the Jayhawks. With a win, the Sooners will move to 16 - 2 in conference play which will tie the Sooners record for most conference wins in a season (2006 Team was 16-0).
Is the win required, no, the Sooners have clinched the regular season championship and lead Texas by two games. But the future seeding of the NCAA Tourney does lie ahead, so a win at Kansas could mean quite a bit. I hope the Sooners just go north, play loose and play well and handle their business today. Kansas is playing well right now as they are 7-1 in their last eight games as they have only lost at Baylor in that stretch of games. They are 10-7 in conference play.
One thing to watch today is the Big 12 games of Oklahoma State, TCU and BYU. The Sooners will play the winner of the #8 and #9 teams in the conference in their opening game of the Big 12 Tourney. The day starts with OSU in 8th and TCU and BYU in a tie for 9th. Here are their games today.
11 AM on Sunday - OSU plays at Baylor today. Baylor is favored and needs a win to try and secure a 4th place finish in the Big 12.
Noon Saturday - TCU is at West Virginia. But TCU is benefitting from the return of the 6'6" center Sedona Prince. She can be a handful. But West Virginia is probably favored at home.
7 PM on Saturday - BYU plays at Texas. I would think that Texas will play inspired today after being beaten by OU on Wednesday.
If all three lose, the #8 seed is OSU and the #9 seed is TCU. It would be nice to have OSU and TCU lose with a BYU win. If that happens BYU moves into #9 spot with OSU retaining the #8 spot. I think it would be a plus if OU can avoid TCU and Prince in the Big 12 Tourney.
