Record in the Big-12:

OU 9 - 6

OSU 9 - 6

Statistics are for losers, Norm. Especially stats like % Shooting Defense. The two numbers I posted above when compared to the ones you posted make that abundantly clear - if you know anything about math ........ or basketball.

If you will notice, I did not suggest how the information should be interpreted. But since you went there, do you think Sherri would prefer her team be #1 or #300 in those categories?

She wants them to win games.

No one has been more disappointed than I have this year. We have shot much more poorly than I expected. After starting for the International team last summer, Gabbi has lost much of her court time to TT. Several reserves who were never being counted on to play a lot this year have been spending lots of time on the court. Sherri expected a new style of officiating that would respect the teams who want to play clean offense.

It has been disappointing - but we are tied for 3rd place right now - just where many (including you if I recall) predicted they would be before the season started.

The fact that a few teams have had miracle shooting games against us that can never be counted on is just a coincidence to some extent, although Sherri has never tried to guard the corner 3. Those kind of games happen every once in a while for all teams. You hope not too often. Kansas players who cannot hit 3's went wild as did a couple of OSU players. All you can do is plan for players to play at their actual skill level. If they get really lucky against you, it can be hard to overcome.

Don't mean to be picky but as of right now, we are behind OSU as they swept us. So that is one of the three teams tied for third that would take third place above us at this point. Not going to do the extended calculations needed to determine the rankings for the three tied at third.

OSU should win 2 of the last three. Don't know how they will do at W.Va. Probably slight edge to W. Va.

W.Va. looks to have the best chance of sweeping their last three games.

OU should win 2 out of three. They have a chance at beating Baylor, of course,
but believe odds are against them. HOPING I am VERY WRONG.
