Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, March 24, 2006

Oklahoma has had an incredible season, in part, because of freshman Courtney Paris. But their next opponent, Stanford, also is benefiting from first year starters Jillian Harmon and Rosalyn Gold-Onwude.

As for Paris, more and more people are falling in love with not only her game but also her personality. Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer recognizes the challenge her team faces going up against Paris.

No current Sooner has been to the Sweet 16 before, but that does not take away from the team's confidence going into the game.

Standing in their way is a Cardinal team led by sophomore sensation Candice Wiggins, who shot her way out of a recent slump in her team's big win over Florida State.
