Me too! It was huge that we got into the double bonus so early as we'd usually get one. If they had been one and ones we may have not had 4 or 5 points. Shot them better the last minute than they did the prior 5 to 6 minutes. Jo was silky smooth at the line the last few minutes.

Great Game!!!!
Never saw so much contact. They must practice in football pads. They are over the back on rebounds and were leaning on Morgan all night as she was dribbling. We need to be tougher.
When we lost Whitney I thought we had no chance for the Sweet Sixteen. Then we lost Maddie. Joanna and Campbell really filled the void. They weren't playing that much before Whitney went down.
I don't like the way the pressure is bothering Morgan. She needs to toughen up with the ball and stay away from the traps. But they played their hearts out tonight and just willed the victory. Everyone contributed and played well. Tough game to play because UCLA is so physical. Plus they are quicker and have better hands overall than us.
Classic game between athletes and basketball players.
I suspect some of our players slept through the using the clock class. I was screaming NO, NO on a couple of the quick shots.

We did very poorly early on from the stripe, but improved down the stretch to wind up 70% from the free throw line. Only 57% for awhile.
The 7 turnovers were a season-best for the OU women. WTG girls!

Actually she did the right thing keeping the ball in her hands! Would rather her keep it then risk a steal off a pass because they couldn't get t from her.

Her getting in trouble caused Sherri to call timeout. You never want to get trapped by a double team.
We shot only two percent better than UCLA. They had eleven more rebounds. They did have seven more turnovers. But, the key to this game was that they had six points from threes to our thirty-three. They were two of twelve. We were eleven for twenty-seven.

I was thinking the same thing... Switzer's line comes back to me, "come to OU, or don't. We will win with you or without you." Wish that she would have stayed home and she'd be going to the Sweet 16...
Better than a turnover because we came out of the timeout with the ball. Oh and we still had one left. That was actually a smart play. If you knew basketball you would know that.

Jo finished with 20 points and 16 rebounds and has had double-digit rebounding totals in 21 of her last 25 games.

So coach was not being able to get the ball in and constantly getting trapped up at half court part of the plan too?

We only had 7 turnovers and didn't run out of timeouts, so I'd say we did all right. I thought Coach did a good job of subbing Jaz whenever Morgan's eyes started to glaze over.
Lighten up and root on KU!
