The Oklahoma women’s basketball team will head into Southeastern Conference play next calendar year in good shape.
OU held tight at No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll released Tuesday. The Sooners, who tied at No. 8 with Michigan, have won 11 straight games, last losing to now-No. 4 UCLA back on Nov. 10. Most recently, Oklahoma scored a school-record 126 points in Monday’s win over North Carolina Central.
