The Oklahoma Sooners are heading to Bloomington, Indiana, as a No. 5 seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament. The Sooners have made the tournament in each of head coach [autotag]Jennie Baranczyk[/autotag]’s three seasons in Norman.
The Sooners will face No. 12 Florida Gulf Coast. The Eagles won both the regular-season and Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament titles and are 29-4.
They have notable wins over North Carolina and Kentucky, but they were blown out by Iowa and Duke. They also went undefeated in conference play, which is a pretty remarkable feat.
The Sooners come into the NCAA Tournament on the heels of a disappointing loss to Iowa State in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament after winning the conference regular-season title.
The Sooners hope to make their first Sweet 16 appearance under Baranczyk. The Sooners bowed out in the second round in each of the last two seasons.
