The Oklahoma Sooners women’s basketball program is coming off of another strong season in year three under head coach Jennie Baranczyk. They made the NCAA tournament for the third straight season. They battled Indiana tight for 35 minutes before the Hoosiers pulled away late.
Still, it was another encouraging season for Baranczyk and the Sooners ahead of Oklahoma’s move to the SEC.
With their inaugural season in the SEC approaching, the media voted on their preseason rankings and the Oklahoma Sooners came in at No. 4. OU trails defending national champion South Carolina, the Texas Longhorns, and women’s hoops power LSU in the preseason rankings.

Behind Oklahoma are Ole Miss, Alabama, and then blue blood program Tennessee.
The Sooners have a ton of talent returning for the 2024-2025 season. They return 98% of their scoring production from last year’s Big 12 championship team. It was already an experienced roster, and Baranczyk picked up All-American forward Raegan Beers out of the transfer portal.
The Sooners have an opportunity to go into the SEC and make a statement against the deepest and most talented women’s basketball conference in the nation.
