Speaking of must-see-tv, over 10,000 saw #11 Oklahoma defeated #14 Georgia 65-57. Yes, Courtney got her double-double, but the real fire came from Amanda Thompson. She tied her career-high with 18 points and had two blocks (one serious highlight reel material) that had her teammates jumping around like big ole goofballs.

"She's just that type of person. She's going to make those plays that just lift our spirits or do something crazy," Paris said. "I'm going to be pretty embarrassed about it when I look back on that, but she's a good player and she works hard."

Speaking of fans, the Big 12 rocks the house like no other conference. Check out this article on the Oklahoma/Oklahoma State fans: "Two rabid crowds show state's love of women's hoops."

If you're ever looking back for the day when the women's basketball phenomenon in Oklahoma truly took hold, the day when we knew this sport had ascended past just one successful program or one bitter rivalry, you might settle on Sunday.

On a pristine January afternoon, high temperature 67, as good a winter's day as we're likely to see, 14,283 fans marched into two coliseums to watch women play basketball.
