NCAA: #4 Seed OU vs #13 seed Idaho 9pm 3/20

Easy win and we are rolling.. but here is the “coach” in me.

There last play that Williams missed the wide open lay up. The response by the ladies was very telling. Laughing and giggling about it…

Here is my question…

Would LSU/Uconn/South Carolina/texas… players and coach react that way…?.. I doubt it.

Again, it is what it is… we won’t break into that top group (just my opinion) until that changes.

I know, this game is an easy game s fun game..but to be at that top level it’s all business.

Just my 2 cents

Listen to post game. That’s exactly what Coach Jennie wants. They play better when they’re laughing, according to her. Also, I’ve seen every team smile at something stupid they did. I specifically remember Raven Johnson laughing after screwing up on our court. Go back and watch. I think they know when to turn it on and off.

In her first press conference after she was hired, Jennie said she wants her teams to play with joy, or words to that effect. She said they are playing the game they love at the highest level and it should be fun. There are a lot of teams that don't play with joy. If you watch them, they play with anger. That anger seems to be what fuels them. Jennie's players sometimes laugh at their own mistakes, but they also smile and laugh when they celebrate each other's great plays. In a tight game, you might see an ironic smile after a mistake, but not the same reaction you would see in a blowout. The fact that they smile and laugh at their own mistakes in a blowout doesn't mean it's not all business to them or to Jennie.

It’s all fine… never said they couldn’t laugh or enjoy the game… don’t need to be a Bobby knight …

I’ll stick with my point. We won’t be a UConn or SC with those things. Which is fine…

The reason we won't is because they have infinite NIL money for women's basketball. Most players in this day and age, care way more about NIL than anything else. Until we get wealthy, we won't be a top program. Being mad about a TO up by 30 means nothing. Lol.

Go away.
 
Idaho was not a bad team. They have 7 foriegn players and some are very good but we played 3 quarters as well as we have played in any game. The 4th quarter was kind of street ball. We played with intensity and did a good job with help defense. Chavez and Vann great from mid- range. One of Sahara's best. Beers and Verhulst good. Certainly there were things that can be improved on but if we play the same way against Michigan State we should be on our way to Sweet Sixteen.

I look more to results more than style and personality when I consider the effectiveness of a coach. Baranczyk has over 125 victories as a Sooner coach. I consider that a positive. Geno is one of the best ever in my opinion and he is a tough guy but he continues to excell. Bobby Knight was a tough guy as well and he changed the whole game defensively and won big for a time. But when the world caught up with his system his personality got in the way and players opted not to go there, but Geno keeps getting the elite.

In the pre-tournament press conference Baranczyk mentioned that Chavez has evolved from being a very ball control player. You never heard her mention that before but you can be assured she was talking to Chavez about it. We don't know what goes on in practice and the locker room. Her teams win over 25 games a year in a very tough conference. That is good in my opinion, especially in this era where players are going to the highest bidder.

Lol … 👌🏻… btw, it wasn’t.TO… she got blocked by the backboard then got the ball back then got fouled. You even watch it? I might have a little more experience than you…

Nil didn’t take the #1 player away…
