The Oklahoma Sooners put together a dominant performance over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Monday to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women's Tournament. After knocking off one of the better programs in women's basketball over the last decade, the Sooners will take on the UConn Huskies and one of the best players in the nation, Paige Bueckers.
Bueckers was the 2021 AP and Naismith Player of the Year and a three-time Big East Player of the Year for the Huskies. She's put together one of the great all-time careers. Bueckers is averaging 19.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game for her career. She's a career 53% shooter and has hit 42.1% from three in four seasons at UConn.
She'll be a massive challenge for the Sooners to defend, but Oklahoma showed on Monday that they're up to the challenge after holding Iowa star Lucy Olson to 35% shooting and held the Hawkeyes to 36.4% shooting for the game.
Oklahoma showed off their depth with six Sooners scoring in double figures, with Sahara Williams and Zya Vann coming up big in first half to help OU overcome slow starts by Raegan Beers, Peyton Verhulst, and Skylar Vann.
The Sooners are looking to make their first Elite 8 since 2010, but they will have to go through one of the best teams in the country. Jennie Baranczyk has done a great job getting this team to play its best ball over the last few weeks.
