Previous unanimous selections were Chamique Holdsclaw, Diana Taurasi, Alana Beard, Seimone Augustus and Candace Parker. Big 12 Preseason Poll First-place votes in parenthesis. Big 12 Coaches Vote Paris, Hand There must be something in the water at the Lloyd Noble Center. After becoming the first school to sweep the Big 12 s preseason vote for No. 1 team in men s and women s basketball, Oklahoma swept the league s picks for preseason player of the year and freshman of the year. The Big 12 Conference named Courtney Paris its Preseason Player of the Year for a third consecutive season and Whitney Hand, who tied with Texas A&M s Tyra White, its Co-Preseason Freshman of the Year in a vote of the league s head coaches.

Here s a quick look at the attendance records set recently by the program: NCAA Championship Game Record Attendance: 29, Big 12 Championship Game Record Attendance: 12, Program record for home average: 10, State record for single-game women s attendance: 13, Program record No. 3 national attendance ranking: 10, Lloyd Noble Center three consecutive sellouts to finish season Averaged 42 percent increase for opponent during road games Points in the Paris Coined by Nancy Lieberman after witnessing OU s dominating inside game against Georgia, Oklahoma opponents can forget about outscoring the Sooners in the paint thanks to the Paris twins. Last year, OU outscored opponents in the paint by an average of 41 to 22. Courtney supplies 15 per game (37 percent) in the paint while Ashley contributes seven points (18 percent) in the paint per game. Together the sisters average 22 points in the paint -- as much as the entire opposing roster and half of OU s total. OU has outscored opponents in the paint in Twice as Nice The Paris twins have scored in double figures in the same game on 38 occasions, achieving the feat 20 times in after doing so 11 times in Since Courtney has scored in double figures in all of her 103 career games, the 38 occasions account for every double-figure game of Ashley s career. The duo has posted a double-double in the same game 13 times (four as freshman, two as sophomores, five as juniors, twice as seniors). OU is 33-5 when both Parises reach double figure scoring and 10-3 when both achieve a double-double. Ashley Paris as a Starter Since taking over as a full time starter, Ashley Paris is making her name as well known as her sister s. Prior to the season, she had 15 starts in 69 games. She started all 31 games in , averaging 11.3 points per game, to boost her career scoring average to 8.1 per game in 100 games played. Block Party Courtney Paris is the first player in NCAA history to have at least 100 blocks in each of her first three seasons. She set the NCAA freshman single-season blocks record at 119 and then had 111 as a sophomore and 108 as a junior. Even Sandora Irvin, who is the NCAA s all-time blocks leader with 480, did not have over 100 her freshman season. D-Rob, Most Valuable Freshman Oklahoma s Danielle Robinson was the only freshman on a Top 25 program to lead her team in assists and steals. Robinson broke out in OU s win against Illinois, scoring eight of her 14 points during a 16-3 run in the second half, lifting the Sooners to a lead with 3:36 remaining. Robinson also had back-to-back steals for layups in the stretch. The Sooners won, 77-67, as Robinson recorded seven steals. The following is a look at the production of the nation s top freshmen last season.

Only two other NCAA Division I players LaToya Thomas, Mississippi State ( ) and Chandi Jones, Houston ( ) have finished their careers scoring in double figures in every game. The most double-figure scoring games was accomplished by Sophia Young of Baylor ( ), who scored 10 or more points in 130 of her 139 career games.

She is also the only player in NCAA history to total 700 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks in a single-season, a feat she has accomplished twice.

8 Oklahoma Women s Basketball Game Notes Games, 100 Double-Doubles Courtney Paris has collected 100 double-doubles in 103 career games. She has an active streak of 95 consecutive games with a double-double. The streak began with a 22-point, 24-rebound effort versus UCLA on Dec. 5, 2005, and will be 1,088 days old when OU plays North Carolina on Nov. 23, Officially a Record It has long been thought that Courtney Paris double-double numbers were NCAA records. Beginning with the season, those statements are now factual. The NCAA has made single-season and career double-doubles as well as singleseason and career consecutive double-doubles new records for women s basketball. Single-Season Double-Doubles Courtney Paris, Oklahoma Courtney Paris, Oklahoma Anne Donovan, Old Dominion Courtney Paris, Oklahoma Cheryl Taylor, Tennessee Tech Single-Season Consecutive Double-Doubles Courtney Paris, Oklahoma Nov. 12, 2006-March 25, Courtney Paris, Oklahoma Nov. 11, 2007-March 25, Courtney Paris, Oklahoma dec. 5, 2005-March 25, Cheryl Miller, Southern Cal Nov. 28, 1984-Feb. 14, Gail Koziara, Dartmouth Jan. 16-Feb. 28, Career Double-Doubles Courtney Paris, Oklahoma 2006-Active 100 Cheryl Taylor, Tennessee Tech Janet Harris, Georgia Sylvia Fowles, LSU Career Consecutive Double-Doubles Courtney Paris, Oklahoma dec. 5, 2005-Active 95 Anne Donovan, Old Dominion Jan. 29, 1982-Dec. 29, Cheryl Miller, Southern Cal Nov. 28, 1994-Feb. 14, Double-Double Superlatives Talk about Paris double-double success gets stale, especially when she has had just three career games without one, the last being over 1,000 days ago. Consider: Double Double-Double Paris has played nine career games in which she has reached 20 points and 20 rebounds. Double-Double Animal Style Paris has 29 career games in which she has reached a double-double and recorded five or more blocks. The last was against Arizona State (Nov. 21) when she scored 19 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks. The Double-Double Half Paris has achieved a double-double 32 times in a single 20-minute period. She has reached the double-double figure by halftime on 13 occasions and has played 19 second halves alone in which she achieved a double-double. Paris had 10 doubledouble halves as a freshman, 14 as a sophomore, six as a junior and two as a senior. Comparing to Counterparts Beginning with the season, the NCAA officially recognized double-double records for women s basketball and, as was widely believed, Courtney Paris has owned them for quite some time. Even when comparing her game to the men s game, the records speak for themselves. The longest men s double-double streak was 40 games by North Carolina s Billy Cunningham, which coincidentally began on the same day (Dec. 5), 43 years prior to Paris streak. The most career double-doubles by the men belongs to Tim Duncan, who recorded 87 in his four seasons at Wake Forest ( ). The top five men s records are below.

Tim Duncan, Wake Forest Ralph Sampson, Virginia Derrick Coleman, Syracuse Malik Rose, Drexel Oscar Robertson, Cincinnati Double-Double Success Rate Consistency perhaps is the most tangible trait that can be associated with Courtney Paris. Her standard is the double-double and, if and when, she fails to get her next, it will be a bigger story than when she next achieves it. Paris double-double success rate outpaces even the best in NCAA men s basketball history. The following details what percentage of the player s total games they achieved a double-double.
