OU women's basketball: Sherri Coale wants Sooners to focus on themselves, not Connecticut

It is currently 23-2, 11-1 in the Big East. Its two losses came at No. 1 Baylor and at No. 2 Notre Dame (in overtime). The Huskies obliterated ranked Georgetown 80-38 on Saturday for their 99th consecutive home victory.
