Notepad: Sooners feel like the 'underdog' for SEC Tournament

NORMAN — The Sooners clinched the SEC regular season championship last weekend before they played their final two games against Florida.

But OU coach Patty Gasso certainly doesn't see her team as the favorite heading into the conference tournament this week.

While the Sooners are the No. 1 seed for the SEC Tournament, they head to Athens, Georgia without a ton of momentum. They're ranked fifth in RPI rankings behind four SEC teams; they're ranked at No. 3 by D1 Softball (behind two SEC teams) and at No. 4 by Softball America. Plus, the Sooners lost three of their eight series against SEC opponents, including last weekend at Florida.
