Jennie Baranczyk had a great first season with the Sooners, culminating in a fourth-place finish in the Big 12. After falling to Baylor in the Big 12 tournament semifinals, the Sooners begin their pursuit of a national title in the NCAA Tournament.
The Sooners were awarded the No. 4 seed in the Bridgeport region, which allows them to host the first and second-round games before moving on to a neutral site for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. IUPUI enters as the No. 13 seed after winning the Horizon League tournament.
Taylor Robertson and Madi Williams, two All-Big 12 performers will look to lead the Sooners into the next round and a date with the winner of the No. 5 Notre Dame and No. 12 UMASS matchup.
IUPUI is making its first appearance in the NCAA tournament. Their only other conference tournament win was in 2020 when the NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the beginning wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They enter the tournament with a record of 24-4 and have a win against the Iowa Hawkeyes on the road. They are led by Macee Williams, who has won the Horizon League Player of the Year award four straight seasons. She is averaging 18.7 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. She has 13 double-doubles on the season and has scored at least 20 or more points eight times. IUPUI led the Horizon league in overall shooting percentage and 3-point field goal percentage.
