Oklahoma head coach and Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Sherri Coale joins host Howard Megdal to discuss the compelling case the Sooners have for an NCAA bid. The top line is deceiving: despite an overall mark of 16-14, the Sooners are 11-7 in the Big 12, played the second-toughest schedule in the nation, and own wins over tournament teams like Belmont, West Virginia and South Florida. The two break down precisely how Coale schedules, why she does it, and how it impacts her team. There is also ample WNBA Draft talk, with Coale providing insight into how both guard Gabby Ortiz and center Vionise Pierre-Louis can help teams at the next level.Then Megdal is joined by Sarah Sommer, basketball writer at The Summitt and D3Hoops.com. Sommer is a high school and lower-division expert, and breaks down the local royals, from Jeff Jasper's Pascack Valley program to the current run from Old Tappan. Sommer also previews the Montclair State Sweet 16 game, a difficult mission—traveling to Amherst. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
