Oklahoma Women's Basketball Fourth in Preseason Poll

Oklahoma women's basketball has been ranked fourth in the SEC preseason poll, bolstered by All-American center Raegan Beers and Big 12 Player of the Year Skylar Vann, who both received preseason All-SEC honors. The Sooners, led by coach Jennie Baranczyk, are expected to be competitive in their inaugural SEC season, returning 98% of their scoring production from last year's championship team. Texas A&M's Wade Taylor IV also made headlines by being named to the preseason All-SEC First Team for the second consecutive year, as the Aggies aim to build on their Sweet 16 appearance last season. Auburn's Johni Broome joined the All-SEC First Team alongside Taylor, with both teams looking to make significant impacts this season. Taylor's impressive stats from last season highlight his potential to lead the Aggies again, while Broome's recognition underscores Auburn's strength. The SEC looks poised for a competitive basketball season with multiple teams and players gaining preseason accolades.
