I noticed a number of losses this week by members of the top 10 and wondered who all got beat. I dug the data for the rest of the ESPN top 10 from last week (current record, losses for the week)
Texas 29-5 - 2 losses
Georgia 29-5 - 1 losses...

It is true that Duke at #8 and Washington at #22 are the two highest in the RPI strength that OU has played. But OU's schedule has not been as bad a some would lead you to think. OU's schedule is #36 in the country. Not Bad.
Outside of the Big 12, the SEC, PAC-12 and ACC has some interesting series this weekend.
SEC:
Florida (5-1) at Mississippi State (5-4) - We will see if the Florida Kiddie Corp pitchers can limit the Miss St offense and if the Miss St pitchers can...

I remember reading that Maxwell said that. Yeah, I don' know how much time, effort and $ any team wants to devote to oppo research. Winning a NC certainly has some financial rewards for the school and likely the coaches, but softball certainly isn't...
Friday's game was windy with the wind blowing out to LF at 20+ MPH. It was not a good sign for the Kansas pitchers. The Oklahoma Sooners brought out their bats today in fine fashion and collected 15 hits in 29 ABs including 4 HRs. The Sooners were...

Interesting point on JT - Chris Plank said nothing about it - he did tell us Fale wasn’t at 1B, but didn’t say why. He was either clueless or being deceptive.
In the pre-game interview with Patty, you could tell she is losing her voice - I suspect...
Last Fall when I wrote my New Big 12 Review --and even right up to just before the season started--Kansas was not on my radar for any meaningful achievement. They might steal a game from OSU like in the Championship post season last year. But I...

Honestly, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the hitting yesterday and the hitting today other than the end result of scoring runs. Yesterday 2 or three good plays from Kansas that prevented what would have been hits for the Sooners -...
MS State wins over Fla 13-12. Scored 7 in bottom of 6th after Fla scored 5 in the top. Ava Brown takes the loss.

Alabama's pitcher, Kayla Beaver, started the game out all right. But I read on another site that at some point early in the game she took a line drive to the chest. It appeared to me after that she started having trouble and was walking a bunch of...

UCF won over Tech last night 8-5 to help the golden Knights a bit.
The OSU 5-0 win over helps OSU. Kilfoyl was good against Texas. Kavan, once again was not good for Texas just like against LSU.
Baylor won their 2nd Big 12 game with a 6-0 win over...
BigRed4722 - posted this good synopsis of the game on another board.
Hamilton had the best game she has ever had against the Sooners last night. She lowered her era from 12.08 to 9.80 and the Sooners only managed a .290 BA last night. She started...

Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the win over Kansas in Game 1.
utilizing off-speed/change-ups in their repertoire? I am thinking about Maxwell, Deal and Monticelli. Use of these pitches would keep batters off balance. While opponents have not scored a lot of runs (45) or homeruns, I believe our pitchers can be...

Somewhere, I heard somebody comment that Monticelli is working on a changeup. I'm pretty sure that I've seen her throw a couple. May's changeup is devastating. And she's careful not to use it too much.
If the game takes place, the Oklahoma Sooners will be on the road in Wichita on Tuesday to play Wichita State in a 6 PM game. The game will be televised on ESPN+. It will be my first game in Wichita to see the Sooners play. I will see if there is a...

If it's like most of OUr other games, the rescheduled game will be televised by ESPN+.
The Oklahoma Sooners' Alynah Torres has been selected as the Big 12 Softball Player of the Week.
(From the article below) - Torres led the league in home runs, RBIs, total bases and slugging percentage while helping the Sooners to a 4-0 week that...
Besides the OU / Baylor series, we have these matchups also:
OSU at BYU Thu 3/21 - Sat 3/23 Can BYU sneak a game away from the Cowgirls? I hadn't thought so until Tulsa grabbed one Tuesday night. Now I'm not so sure.
Kansas at Houston Can Kansas...

The Oklahoma Sooners swept the Saturday DH with scores of 12-3 and 7-4 in the two wins. That followed the 8-1 win in OKC on Friday. Oklahoma's offensive performance is the reason as they scored 27 runs in the 3 games in 16.1 innings of hitting. The...
Baylor 0 runs in top of 1st. OU at bat. Crandall pitching for Bears. OU up 1-0. Sorry, I missed most of the 1st inning. Note that Torres is in for Pickering in right field. On to 2nd inning.
Deal still pitching. First batter gets single to right....

Though only the last game of the three was really competitive in retrospect, Baylor felt like a very pesky group. The Bears lingered around for a good stretch of total innings - and were within striking distance much of the time. They proved to be a...
