Notes: The Sooners come in having lost back-to-back games for the first time all season. Three of their last four games are against Baylor, Oklahoma State (on the road) and Texas Tech (on the road). They could really use an everything-comes-together night.

The Wildcats are really struggling, with five losses in their last six outings. They're coming off an 80-45 loss at OSU last Saturday, where they shot 29 percent, went 9-of-34 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 50-22. They played the Sooners pretty tough in Manhattan Feb. 6 but fell 74-68.

OU put all five starting starters in double figures that day. That's something that needs to happen again Wednesday, considering Sherri Coale said she had some "no shows" after losing at Kansas last Sunday. With just eight scholarship players, the Sooners can't afford to have anyone check out, with seeding for tournaments in play.
