Oklahoma Sooners
Road to the Final Four.............................................................................................
Overview  The Sooners' 17-game winning streak came to a halt Saturday in the Big 12 championship game as Iowa State notched a 68-65 victory over OU. Despite the loss, the Sooners seem primed for a run at the Final Four. Oklahoma can light up the scoreboard, to the tune of 83 points per game. The Sooners also have tremendous guard play, a big advantage in the NCAA Tournament. Guard Stacey Dales won Big 12 Player of the Year honors and is dangerous shooting as well as passing. LaNeishea Caufield utilizes her quickness and ball handling abilities to break down defenses while Sunny Hardeman can stick the 3-pointer. Inside, Caton Hill does the damage for coach Sherri Coale's balanced Sooner attack.
