Williams and Robertson started in 29 of OU's 30 contests last season while Simpson started in 28. Robertson, who saw the most minutes of any Sooner (1013, 33.8 per game) led all Sooners in points scored (439) and made 105 3-pointers, which set an OU freshman record and rank second in program single-season history. On the defensive end, Williams led the squad in rebounds (241), tied Llanusa for most steals (38) and was second in blocks (16).

• A senior-less team, OU is led by junior veterans Ana Llanusa and Mandy Simpson. Despite missing 10 games last season due to injury, Llanusa finished the season averaging 18.3 points per game, shooting .382 from the field and .341 from the 3-point line. The now junior ranked third in the league with 19.1 points per game during Big 12 play and set an OU record with six straight games with 20-plus points (Feb. 10-25).
