Clay Horning of the Norman Transcript: "the way Amanda Thompson's been playing for about a month, and even more so since the last night of the regular season, has been an epiphany for those watching and Thompson herself. Her season averages are 13.2 points and 10.5 rebounds. It is for numbers like that the Sooner..."

David Ubben of ESPN: "Oklahoma could once again contend for the best defensive line in college football, but its real strength is on the ends. Senior Jeremy Beal had 11 sacks (fourth-most in school history) last season after grabbing 8.5 as a sophomore. Now, his senior season will be his third as starter after two consecutive..."

Guerin Emig of the Tulsa World: "She had lost her season and, briefly, her resolve, to a knee injury. But here, on arguably the worst night of the Oklahoma women's basketball season, Whitney Hand found her voice. In the locker room after OU's lackluster 75-57 homecourt loss to Texas Feb. 3, the sophomore guard with..."

Jenni Carlson of the Oklahoman: "The NCAA Tournament will offer no tougher defensive test, so the coaches might want to sit McFarland down and put her highlights from the game on a continual video loop.

Jake Trotter of the Oklahoman: "Whether Oklahoma rebounds from a subpar 2009 season depends heavily on the development of the offensive line.

Clay Horning of the Norman Transcript: "What OU has done is arrive at a place in which it just knows. It knows it's going to come out and play hard. It knows its best players will bring something very close to their best games. It knows it's no longer a matter of flip a coin and see which team shows up. The Sooners know..."

From ESPN: "For McFarland, duplicating McCoy's 15.5 tackles for loss and six sacks last season will be difficult. But replacing the more intangible aspects of McCoy's persona is on McFarland's list, too. "He was known just as much on campus as he was on the field, and that's the way I want to be," McFarland said. "I don't want..."

Jenni Carlson of the Oklahoman: "Ask Sherri Coale about this season -- a year of extremes, of high rankings and low moments, of big wins and immeasurable losses -- and she breaks into a grin.
