FIVE THINGS TO KNOW

•  The OU women's basketball team returns to Norman Sunday to host TCU. The Sooners will look for their fourth consecutive Big 12 win after upsetting No. 17 West Virginia Wednesday in Morgantown.

•  With a career-high 31 points at West Virginia, sophomore Taylor Robertson extended her record for the program's most consecutive games with 20+ points to eight. Robertson made 10 field goals in the contest and drained eight 3-pointers, just one shy of matching her career high of nine set at Wichita State this season.

• The OU defense was on lock Wednesday night in Morgantown, holding West Virginia to just 23.7% shooting from the floor. That percentage ranks in the Big 12's 10 lowest field goal percentages in a regular-season matchup in conference history. The Sooners held WVU to just one 3-pointer on 13 attempts and allowed no Mountaineers to score in double figures.

•  Head coach Sherri Coale will look for her 500^th career victory as the Sooners take on the Horned Frogs. Coale is 499-270 in her 24^th year as head coach at OU. Coale was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.

•  Sunday's game will also serve as the return for beloved Oklahoma basketball mascot Top Daug. Introduced as the mascot for Oklahoma basketball in the mid-1980s, Top Daug was known for leading raucous crowds and performing zany antics. Top Daug experienced OU's run to the 2002 Final Four, three regular season conference titles and two conference tournament crowns. Top Daug retired from the LNC baseline in 2004, but returned for a men's game in 2008 as part of the 20 year 1988 Final Four reunion.
