Despite what might have been one of her best coaching jobs certainly one of her most resourceful
Sherri Coale’s Oklahoma basketball team again was left out of the postseason.
After finishing with a loss to Friday night Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament to fall to 12-12 on the season, Coale said “I’m an optimist” about getting an NCAA Tournament bid. But that fell through Monday when the bracket was announced, and later Monday night, the WNIT field was revealed and OU was not among the 32 participants.
The Sooners played much of the season with just six players and seldom had no more than seven. Yet after starting 1-4 overall and 0-3 in conference play, OU won four of its last five games and six of its last eight to finish with its best record in three years and a 9-9 record in Big 12 play.
