THE STARTING FIVE

The Sooners enter Sunday's matchup following a 98-93 loss to No. 9 Oregon on Saturday. OU led the Ducks for 31 minutes, but a late Oregon rally proved too much for the Sooners to overcome. Taylor Robertson stole the show with 29 points and a career-high eights assists, making seven 3-pointers.
Sunday's game continues the inaugural Women's Battle 4 Atlantis. The Sooners were chosen to participate in the event, completing a field that includes No. 1 South Carolina, No. 2 UConn, No. 9 Oregon, No. 23 South Florida, Minnesota, Syracuse and Buffalo.
Buffalo (1-1) is coming off an 88-60 loss to No. 1 South Carolina on Saturday. The Bulls own a dominant 104-42 win over Canisius and were picked to finish third in the MAC this season. Tenth-year head coach Felisha Legette-Jack is the winningest coach in school history.
The Sooners' three All-Big 12 performers (Robertson, Ana Llanusa and Madi Williams) have each scored over 1,000 points in their OU careers. Oklahoma is the only school in the Big 12 Conference with three 1,000-point scorers and one of just six nationally (DePaul, Florida Gulf Coast, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Southern Illinois, Tennessee Tech).
With the announcement that the NCAA Women's Tournament will expand to 68 teams, ESPN released updated bracketology on Nov. 17. The Sooners moved up one spot to a No. 10 seed in the Spokane region. A staple of the NCAA postseason, Oklahoma has appeared in 21 NCAA Tournaments, including 19 since the turn of the century. The Sooners' 21 appearances in the tournament are the second most in the Big 12 Conference and are tied for 23rd most in NCAA history.
