OU-Stanford

[Oliver Hardy]

Official Thread.

They are not the Stanford of old. They are not invincible. We can win this.

All year long our ladies have been ignored in the polls by commentators, writers, and broadcasters. Tomorrow that crap stops.

Play hard. Play smart. Bleed Crimson.

OU, baby. OU.

I don't know if the youngsters on this board really understand the importance of this game, but it's huge.

I know we can beat the Cardinal, but this goes beyond wins and losses, it's about respect.

 

[SoonerNorm]

We cannot win if the starters get in foul trouble. Have to play smart in every phase of the game.

Stanford will try and run Kay Kay out the gym... I'm sure they'll start with a double on her, our outside shooting will be key.... I didn't see anything from stanford that showed me we can't win this game... The only thing I'm worried about is the game being on there home court, they will get most of the calls...

Hey Norm. I have far more than 10K posts on this board, so how is it that your post total says the same, and mine says I'm a Role Player?

That's a question that's way over my pay grade, I have no idea how any of that works.

They will try to take away KK.

We have to be able to slow down Lilly Thompson. We don't do a very good job of slowing down opposing point guards. That girl from Quinnipiac had 25 ish? That scares me, and you know they are going to attack w her. TT and Gabbi need to really step it up- If she run's wild we will have a tough time getting the win.

There not a very physical team which is the teams I worry about most against us. But if Lilly Thompson gets loose on a regular basis we will be in trouble. If not, we can pull it out. We are by no means the favorite with the game being on there homecourt, but I like our team. Some of our players seem to have really improved over the last couple weeks. I hope we can pull it out.

It's not an impossible task. Some years in the past it would have been. OU was rated as the 18th best team by the selection committee, and Stanford was rated as the 15th best. I don't see anything to suggest that we cannot win, as long as we've gotten over the bipolar disorder that afflicted the team in the second half of the conference schedule.

I bet the WWotW was a bit intimidated by the 1.1.1 points OU scored on Saturday...

Lilly game is getting to the basket and getting calls... Carter is just as fast and is bigger then Lilly... I would put Carter on her.

You should do this before ever tournament game!!!!

Come on, you old geezer, get with the program.

Hey Ollie!

How come you're All-Conference and I'm just a pilgrim?

Watched Stanford play their first game. I had seen them play parts of a couple games this year. They really looked different and better, particularly in the second half. Might have been the tall white girl that I hadn't seen play, but looked and played like B. Stewart or della done (s). What was up with that, and where did she come from.

In any event, we can beat Stanford. Don't know if we will, but we definitely can. We look more talented than Stanford to me.

Our post game, with KK, VIVI and Treece, is as good as anyone in the Country -- collectively, and this is what we have been missing for a number of years. Gabbi is the best point we have had in years as well. She handles the ball better than anyone we have had and really gets us into our sets. This has helped us keep turnovers down.

Might get beat, but like I have said before, I really don't see much of a ceiling on this team. At their best, they can hang with anyone.

BTW, is the game on TV in Tulsa?

It's mostly about your skill set and how you play the game, Role Player.

I believe that the game is protected in Oklahoma and Northern California. If you get ESPN2 and are in one of those places, you should get the game in its entirety.

You're cute, too!

If you look at Stanford's losses, there are two patterns:

1. Stanford did not hit well from three point range. If they don't hit around forty percent, they are in trouble. If they hit around thirty percent, they lose.

2. You can beat Stanford by just outrebounding them. They only have one good rebounder, Kaylie Johnson.. She doesn't shoot much, but she shoots over fifty percent. If Stanford is even or gets beat on the boards, they struggle.

Although Stanford has four players who shoot around forty percent or better from three, they are about the same percentage from the field as a whole. It is a three or nothing. They all hit very well from the line.

I don't think that Stanford can beat a good team. I think they just play their game, and good teams may beat themselves. Yes, they beat UConn. UConn played the worst game I have seen them play, on Stanford's court. They turned around and lost to Texas as Texas controlled the boards and wouldn't let them have open threes.

But, Stanford also lost at Arizona and Oregon, both of which were pretty bad teams. They lost just by not shooting well in either game. They weren't dominated, and the opponent didn't play lights out. They were narrow losses in a nondescript game.

If we could keep Kay Kay on the floor and get Kaylie Johnson in foul trouble, this would be easy.

I suggest that either is unlikely, but you just never know with this OU team. They are good enough to beat anyone, and bad enough to lose to any one.

Just like the men's team.

Thank you, Syb.

Yup i'm excited..

Arizona and Oregon were rated 179 and 210 by realtimerpi. Stanford lost to both late in the year.

It would not surprise me to see the Pacific Twelve eliminated tonight as Arkansas-Little Rock takes out Arizona State. I think UALR is the better team, and I have no idea why the committee put four Pac 12 teams in the top 16.
