Norman, Okla. ? The most dominant player in Oklahoma women’s basketball history found out this summer how the other half lives, and Courtney Paris said she’s better off for it.
Paris said Thursday, during the Sooners’ media day, that the lessons she learned while competing on the USA Basketball senior national squad have taught her to better appreciate the roles her teammates play and have given her additional incentive for this season.
“I just approach the game differently, knowing that there’s more to work on,” the 6-foot-4 junior said.
Paris has ruled the Big 12 Conference the past two seasons, recording an ongoing NCAA-record streak of 61 double doubles, helping Oklahoma reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament both seasons and twice receiving first-team All-America honors.
