NCAA Tournament: #12 Oklahoma vs. #5 DePaul Game Thread

Should be a fun one to watch.
After we got lit up in the 2nd qtr of our last game vs TCU, we did a solid job guarding the arc in the 2nd half. Gonna need to have that carry over today against DePaul.
It'll also help if we can keep out of foul trouble.
 
Less than 4 minutes into the game and DePaul is 4-4 from 3-point range. Not good.
 
another typical OU start. Already down by 12. DePaul has had their way at the 3 point line and haven't missed, bc they haven't been guarded. Are the lady sooners simply this daft or do they just not remember their first encounter? Vivi is the only player trying, Ana seems to be coming along a little but everyone else is none-existent thus far. Please don't make this another come from behind but too little too late game!!!
 
Good run to end the quarter and it's good to see us get to the line a lot but MAN I wish we wouldn't keep putting ourselves in a position where we have to dig out a big hole!
 
Theres no way Depaul can keep that pace of play up for 4 quarters and keep hitting shots and staying out of foul trouble. They would be the best team in the country...

I think we'll settle in here, even up the score and it'll be our momentum going into the second half.
 
Vivi got a pretty long spell at the end of the 1st quarter but now, 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter, she is DEAD tired. Not posting up or playing defense. I was impressed with her conditioning throughout the season, but this is bad today. We need her.

From the early looks of this game there will be plenty of time for rest after today
 
DePaul has made EIGHT 3-pointers in the first 13.5 minutes.

at this point in the season, how is she STILL this out of shape? You would think she'd be used to us needing her this much.
 
Haven’t watched much OU gals this year but this is maddening. How many layups can we miss LOL.

Here’s the other thing, everything I have read from the paper and others is that DePaul lives from the 3 point line and yet, we are NOT guarding the 3 point line - WHAT. Come on Sherri, you make 1.1 million a year and have had a week to prepare your girls for this and ONE thing you should have gotten right is to not leave the 3 point line in guarded yet you failed at that. WOW is all I can say.

EPIC FAIL SHERRI!!!!
 
goes to show our girls still don't play defense. this is going to be yet another tell tale OU loss to DePaul. We will come back to within 4 or so in the second half but we will lose, again. I'm so frustrated with this dang team. I've had such high hopes at points, but that killer mentality is just lacking, and that's what's keeping them away from digging deep and pulling out these close wins. Is this due to some lack in coaching?
 
Let's see, can't make a post pass, can't make a layup, can't make a 3, and can't guard the 3 point line, and we are only down 10. Well a 20 point loss will give what few we have coming back to think about in the off season. You would think TCU would have taught this team something, obviously not.

Can't wait for some new blood next year.
 
Well this is embarrassing...


how many open shots on the way back? How many times have we been back-doored for a layup?

We look lethargic.


Gilly has the ball with w/ 20 seconds left in the half??...............
Sherri is trying to compensate for our shaky start, w even more frantic moves. they are shooting 60% from 3, let Shania and Ana play until they settle in. Just overcompensation and frantic maneuvers. 19 straight tournaments and we can't keep our composure on the sidelines. How can you expect a team to play well when you don't set them up for success? I hope SHERRI calms down and has a better second half. Thats ridiculous.
 
This play-by-play guy legitimately thinks OU's nickname is "Boomer Sooner"
