With the OU men sitting at No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 for the past two weeks, it is easy to overlook the Lady Sooners. What’s funny about this situation is that it represents a role reversal over what has taken place in the recent past.
Sherri Coale has headed the Oklahoma women’s basketball program from the beginning of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. Since that time, her teams have produced 13 20-win seasons and three years in which the Lady Sooners went over the 30-win mark. The OU women are 14-5 this season and ranked 21st in the AP Top-25 as they head into their game on Saturday against Iowa State, ranked just ahead of them in the AP poll.
