Oklahoma Sooners women’s basketball getting back to enjoying basketball
There might not be a hotter team in all of women’s college basketball than the Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners have gone from being out of the projected NCAA Tournament field to being ranked and atop the Big 12 conference.
The Sooners currently sit at 16-6 and 10-1 in conference play. It wasn’t that long ago the Sooners were being upset at home by Southern to fall to 6-5 on the season. At that point, it looked like a lost season but Jennie Baranczyk has been able to pull something out of her team to salvage the season.
It resulted in another win Wednesday night against the TCU Horned Frogs 72-55. Baranczyk talked about getting back to enjoying playing basketball. “None of us really felt great but then you look at we had 22 assists to 12 turnovers and we feel like crap,” Baranczyk said. “We’ve had that number reversed and we’re like, ‘Okay, we’re getting closer.’ You have 38 points in the paint. There were some really good things and sometimes when you get to the place that you are at, especially in February, especially today at home and you feel some type of way, you start nitpicking and you stop enjoying. I think that’s one of the things we did a little bit. We started getting a little bit too much nitpicky on some things and so just enjoying.”
They’ve also become a very fun team to watch as well. They have a chance to continue their winning ways this time on the road as they take on the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
