[One More Rebound]

Time for the women's team to show the men's team how to compete. I'm tired of losing to Texas, for one example.

At least thats a Good sign. I rather see “questionable” then see “Out” . That lets me know she isn’t as bad as I thought she was. Because from the looks it honestly could have been way worse . I would honestly sit her out this game so she can have more rest on that shoulder.
Ill be at the game later. Hopefully we play well tonight.

 

[Soonerguy06]

agreed. we should not need her, but with the TOs you just never know anymore. I hope they show some improvement tonight.

 

[SoonerTalk405]

Looks like Beers will be starting!

 

[Soonercuda]

39-32 at half. Verhulst playing well with 15 points. 57.7% shooting but only 39 points because we made 14 turnovers.

Beers did not start coming out of Halftime.

 

[Salt City Sooner]

80-63 F. Verhulst finished with 38, 20 in the 3rd quarter alone & she sat out almost half of that quarter. In a word, ZONE.

 

[SoonerTalk405]

Raegan Beers did not play in the 2nd half at all. Which I was completely fine with. We are gonna need her against SC Sunday.
I hope Liz Scott is ok. She never played again after her injury.

Good game…but again careless TO’s are this teams big issue. 22 of them…

Against mu didn’t matter, sc will roll us if we have our avg.

They showed Liz on the bench in the second half. It looked like her face was swollen. It must have been a pretty brutal foul because they never showed the replay of it.

With apologies to Liz, her taking that shot to the face was my favorite moment of the game because Jennie instantly sprinted out to check on her, without hesitation. She clearly cares about each member of this team so deeply. The "love one another, love Oklahoma" mantra isn't just a saying: it's the culture embedded. How could players not want to come play for her?

On another note... we all know that officiating in women's college basketball leaves a lot to be desired, but I've particularly been frustrated by all of the offensive fouls called on Raegan and Sahara. They are often SO much stronger than their defenders and make strong, controlled moves to the basket, but if the defender falls down, it feels like it is a called charge EVERY time. It's annoying to watch and is clearly frustrating to the players. I believe Sahara had three of them called against her yesterday (one of them made her so mad she had to run to the bench to keep her cool), and all of those count as turnovers. We're all frustrated by the unforced silly turnovers (I'm okay if we ban lob passes to the post; no one on this team is good at throwing those), but as Jennie keeps preaching: she's okay with the turnovers that come within the freedom of the offense. Sahara and Raegan's post moves are definitely among those, even if officials keep wrongly rewarding the defenders.

I noticed Jennie ran out there instantly, no waiting for the officials to give her permission. I also agree about the offensive fouls. For some strange reason, I thought the officiating might be better in the SEC. Silly me.....

SEC refs and Big 12 refs are the same people. There is no such thing as SEC refs. They call all over the country. Some as many as 5 nights a week. Lots of frequent flyer miles!

Some look familiar but others don't.
