SOONERS LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK

Coming off its first Big 12 Conference loss, the 24^th-ranked Oklahoma women's basketball squad looks to bounce back Sunday with a contest at West Virginia. The Sooners enter into the game in second in the Big 12 standings at 7-1 while the Mountaineers are tied for eighth at 2-6.

DOUBLE-OVERTIME

The double-overtime contest against Texas Thursday, Jan. 29 was Oklahoma's fifth double-overtime game in school history. The Sooners are now 2-3 when playing in double OT contests. The other 2OT games: a 93-81 loss at Wichita State, Jan. 8, 1983; a 86-79 loss to Oklahoma State, Jan. 14, 1996; a 65-63 victory at San Diego on Dec. 21, 2000; and a 86-81 victory over Texas Tech on Jan. 22, 2007. Sooner head coach Sherri Coale is now 2-1 when playing in double-overtime. It also was the first double-overtime for any Big 12 schools since Kansas won at Kansas State 89-80 on Feb. 2, 2013.

FOUR

The Sooners had four players foul out of their double-overtime loss at Texas, Thursday, Jan. 29: Sharane Campbell-Olds (2nd half: 51 seconds), Kaylon Williams (1st OT, 4:05), Maddie Manning (1st OT, 1:59), Gioya Carter (2nd OT, 2:37).

Williams has fouled out six times, Carter five times, Campbell-Olds three times, Kornet and Peyton Little twice, Manning, L. Williams and Ortiz once each.

She has registered double-figure points in all but one league game, has hit 20-plus points three different times and is shooting a blazing 50.5 percent from the field and 56.7 percent from the 3-point arc, hitting 17-of-30. It is a much different output than her pre-conference play. Carter averaged 6.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11 contests and hit double-figures just twice.

MADDIE MANNING

She has hit a 26 free throws and has gone to the charity stripe 32 times, second most on the team. She also has blocked a team-tying high seven shots.
