IT'S TIME FOR POST-SEASON! The best time of the year is finally here, y'all. We could not be more excited to compete in the Big 12 Tournament this weekend and continue in the NCAA tournament next week.
Â
This team has a lot of momentum coming off a great weekend sweeping No. 21 Kentucky on Senior Weekend. Last weekend was such a special way for me and the three other seniors to say goodbye to our home at Rocky Johnson Field, but we aren't even close to being done. We will open up the Big 12 Tournament against Kansas and get another shot at top-ranked Oklahoma in Oklahoma City on Friday. We are in the best position we have ever been to make a statement in the conference tournament and on.
Â
If there were anything that I could get out of the rest of the season, it would be for this group to take the program further than we have ever gone before. We have already shown that we are one of the best teams in the nation over these three months, and now its time to show it when it really matters. I am so confident in the group of young women around me, and we are on a mission. The bus is rolling all the way to Oklahoma City for this weekend and again in June. Stay tuned for the excitement of post-season play! This team is going to do something special.
