OU Hosts A Pair Of Ranked Big 12 Teams

NORMAN, Okla. --- On tap for the Oklahoma women's basketball team this week is a pair of top-25 Big 12 Conference opponents in No. 15/16 Texas and No. 19/20 Iowa State.

“We are extremely excited about being at home all week and competing against Texas and Iowa State,” said Sooner Coach Sherri Coale. “We encourage all of our fans to pack the Lloyd Noble Center as we battle for a Big 12 title.”

The Sooners sport a perfect 7-0 record when playing in front of their home fans at the Lloyd Noble Center this season. OU is 11-5 overall and winners of its last two games. Oklahoma's only losses in Big 12 play have come against a pair to top 10 programs.

Red River Rivalry takes place first as the Sooners host Texas on Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. The Longhorns are currently tied with OU for fourth-place in the Big 12 with a league record of 3-2. Overall, Texas is 10-6. UT is coming off a 69-55 win over No. 4/5 Baylor Saturday but have gone 3-4 since Jan. 1. Wednesday will be the 25th meeting between the two programs, as Texas leads the all-time series 16-8 but OU won the last meeting, 66-47, to capture the 2004 Big 12 Tournament title in Dallas.

Wednesday's game will be televised by FSN Southwest and aired locally on Cox Cable Channel 37. The Sooner Sports Network will also broadcast both games on KOKC-AM (1520), while the Texas game will be carried nationally on all OU affiliates.
