OKLAHOMA STORYLINES
• Oklahoma opened Big 12 play with a victory on the road for the first time since the 2008-09 season, beating Texas Tech 68-38 in Lubbock on Jan. 2.
• Sooners Sharane Campbell,
Aaryn Ellenberg and
Nicole Griffin are nearing career scoring benchmarks. Ellenberg, a senior, is 16 points shy of becoming Oklahoma's sixth 2,000-point scorer. Griffin, a senior, and Campbell, a junior, are 76 and 166 points, respectively, from reaching 1,000.
• Oklahoma was voted the Big 12's preseason favorite, earning five of 10 first-place votes by coaches.
Aaryn Ellenberg was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team and is on watch lists for the Wade, Wooden and Naismith Awards.
• Oklahoma finished as the Preseason WNIT runner-up for the third straight time in four tournament appearances, falling to No. 5 Louisville 97-92 in OT.
• Senior
Aaryn Ellenberg suffered a knee strain early in OU's win over Maryland Eastern Shore (Dec. 15). Senior
Morgan Hook suffered an ankle sprain late in OU's win over Gonzaga on Nov. 17. Hook suffered a dislocated thumb (right hand) and missed the first exhibition game. Redshirt freshman

OU competed in its 16th NCAA Tournament, and 14th consecutive, the nation's seventh longest active streak and 13th longest in history. Oklahoma was a No. 6 seed for the third consecutive year. OU suffered season-ending injuries to four players, including three starters before conference play began in 2012-13. OU added two volleyball players to its roster at mid-semester.
