Vionise Pierre-Louis averaged 21.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.0 blocks and 2.0 steals per game in OU’s wins over Iowa State and Texas Tech. The center scored 19 of her 23 points in the second half and grabbed 11 rebounds against Iowa State. In the win over Texas Tech, the senior netted 19 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, blocked six shots and collected four steals. Oklahoma has one more game against Texas before the regular season comes to a close. You can catch the Sooners in action on Tuesday at 6pm on FS1.

Rachel Ranke tallied 15.0 points and 3.0 rebounds, as the Wildcats went 1-1 last week. She netted her 17th and 18th double-figure games of the season as she tallied 11 points against West Virginia and scored 19 points in the win over in-state foe Kansas. Ranke leads all Big 12 freshmen in 3-point field goals made per game (2.8; 77 3-pt FGs made). K-State is currently leading Texas Tech at halftime in their final game of the season.

With the final regular season games wrapping up, teams are getting ready for the conference tournament in Oklahoma City. Although Baylor has won the past 8 regular season titles, they lost to West Virginia in the tournament last year. The Big 12 is such a competitive league and every game could go either way. We will keep you updated with the final standings and scores heading into the tournament.
