- Oklahoma's first season in the SEC included winning the regular-season title and tying for the tournament title, with a final canceled due to weather against Texas A&M.
- Among Oklahoma's key offensive players are second-year standouts Ella Parker and Kasidi Pickering, who hold impressive batting averages of.417 and.404 and have hit 11 and 14 home runs, respectively, while first-year players Gabbie Garcia and Nelly McEnroe-Marinas have added 16 and 14 homers to the team's power at the plate.
- Texas A&M, the No. 1 overall seed with a 45-9 record, narrowly missed the 2024 Women’s College World Series after a three-game Super Regional loss to Texas decided by one run each game.
- The NCAA Tournament includes many SEC teams, with Oklahoma favored to advance despite coach Patty Gasso urging focus away from such expectations and highlighting freshmen's strong work ethic.
