NCAA Preview – #3 Oklahoma

It’s been many years since there’s been no clear favourite to win the NCAA Team Championships.

Aunt Joyce and others are leaning towards #1 ranked Alabama. But in recent years The Tide has lacked finesse.

… My hunch is that a team that has never won before will end up winning in 2011.

Oklahoma is ready. Healthy. And obviously well coached.

The University of Oklahoma is back at the National Championships after finishing 2nd nationally last season and sweeping the NCAA Coach of the Year awards. We chatted with head coach KJ Kindler and junior Megan Ferguson via skype before the Sooners head to Cleveland for the 2011 NCAA National Championships.
