Evidently, Beers has shrunk 2 inches since she committed to OU!

It seems that we always get a deceptively strong regional and our Super Regional opponent is often under-seeded, as well. I think it's because the committee wants to make it as hard as possible for us to advance because the tournament is in OKC every year.

Many times, no matter the sport, I've noticed that Seniors don't have the type of year you would think they would based on their past performance. I don't know if it's for the reason you describe or the pressure of knowing it's their last season affects their play. I haven't looked up the stats...

I don't know what the SEC transfer rules are but we aren't in the SEC until July 1.

We have only 2 players in the transfer portal. Kelbie Washington and Kayla Cooper.

Below is the box score of their game against South Carolina in the Elite 8. They lost by 12. She was high point with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocked shots and 1 assist. https://osubeavers.com/sports/womens-basketball/stats/2023-24/south-carolina/boxscore/21766

I think of Allen as a forward rather than a center. I guess because she's shown flashes of a midrange game and 3-point shooting. I don't know how that would work defensively. She had some good blocked shots when she was playing off of the opponents center.

I'm thinking of all the benefits of Beers being a Sooner: 1) Legitimate inside scoring threat 2) Great rebounder 3). Great defender against other teams inside game 4) Keeps the opponent's defense honest. 5) Allows other players who have sometimes had to play center to play their natural...

That comment about the Oregon St assistant was posted on the 22nd. Today is the 24th. Hiring new assistants is seldom a fast process.

You are assuming that we were interested in her.

That's an interesting choice. Did she have a connection to that program?

I think the percentage of women who think they will make big bucks professionally is lower than the percentage of men who are under this illusion. They might play in Europe for a while or even in the WNBA. But they know that they will need some kind of career after their playing days are over...

The biggest difference between the women and the men is that the women's graduation rate is higher than the men's. We've had former OU players go on to be doctors, lawyers and nurses. Caitlin Clark is the exception with regard to the NIL. The average amount of NIL money system-wide will be...

If the only thing the player is looking for is a payday OU might not be the right place for them. There will be some women who will go to the highest bidder and not care about anything else. I'll call those the mercenary players. There are a lot of them in the men's game. I'm sure the women...

I wonder if they might go after Lawson at Duke since she has experience at an elite academic institution. Does Stanford have any alumni who are D1 coaches?
