Sooner women await challenge against UConn

NORMAN — The Oklahoma women's basketball team knows the challenges that await Wednesday when No. 1 UConn comes to town to face the Sooners at Lloyd Noble Center (7:30 p.m., FS1).

“They are the gold standard so you measure yourself by that,” OU coach Sherri Coale said. “There's not anybody else like 'em.”

But even at 3-6, the Sooners aren't about to lie down against the Huskies.

“We've just got to come in with the same mindset that we've had every other game,” freshman Taylor Robertson said.

The biggest challenge for Oklahoma on the court will be the Huskies' length, especially in 6-foot-2 forward Napheesa Collier and 6-3 Katie Lou Samuelson.
