Selection Sunday is here at last and the OU women’s basketball team knows it will start the road to the Final Four from Norman.
OU last played on March 6, as the fifth-seeded Sooners ultimately fell to fourth-seeded LSU, 112-78, in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals inside Bob Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Sooners (25-6) finished the contest shooting 36% from the field, while committing 22 total turnovers and 27 fouls.
It was the third quarter that doomed OU as LSU ended the third quarter on a 19-3 run.
“We started to second guess ourselves,” OU coach Jennie Baranczyk said. “That’s something you can’t do. Great teams can’t do that, especially our team.
“From a shot selection standpoint, there were moments. It was the turnovers that really hurt us and when we started going 1-on-1. It was everybody and when we start to do that, we’re not as good. We have really good ball movement … You just can’t get so stuck on whether the ball is going in the hole.”
