OU vs ISU Game Thread

[Oliver Hardy]

Can't wait.

 

[Keller Sooner]

I hate to play this bunch. We don't match up with them very well at all. But, dang it, we've got to do it. I hope everything we throw up goes in the basket.
They are very physical and hard to guard.

West Virginia beat them in Ames, and TCU beat them in Fort Worth. How? Both teams attacked every Iowa State player. They never allowed Iowa State to get organized. I wonder if that would work for us. We have one disadvantage in that we don't have the depth to get fouls. But, we might apply smart pressure and try to take away their organization.

 

[AustinTXSooner]

I wonder if Kornet will play more and guard Christofferson.

 

[sybarite]

I hate to put a freshman on her. But, Kornet may be our best bet. Sharane may be too short.

 

[Keller Sooner]

I wonder if Kornet will play more and guard Christofferson.

I think she will. I was proud of Kornet yesterday. I thought she played really well.

I think she will. I was proud of Kornet yesterday. I thought she played really well.

She reminds me a little bit of Lauren Shoush. She has no fear, follows shots to rebound. Her weakness is her defense, but it sure isn't from lack of trying and mixing it up. This is very valuable time for her during the tournament that is going to pay huge dividends for the Sooners.

17-10 ISU C'mon Sooners!

 

[Keller Sooner]

We're digging ourselves into another deep hole. We can't seem to shoot it before we turn it over.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Quick shots don't seem to be our friend. I imagine we have some dead legs. They're killing us inside.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Vegas has zero life on her shot.

 

[Keller Sooner]

we couldn't throw it in the ocean standing on the beach.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

This is too bad because we're better than this.

Everything is short and seems to die on its way to the rim.

 

[BlackwellSooner]

ISU is killing us on the boards. 33-13, a recipe for failure...

 

[Options]

Killing us in the paint with scoring and rebounds. See Griffin, we are playing a good team

I think a well rested team might have had their problems today. Just no answer for Poppens and Prins. Nice PG, good complementary girls. They're a tough team.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Wow. How many bad misses is that by Vegas? I count three I've seen that didn't even sniff the rim.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

So the former Miss Iowa comes in off the bench for garbage time?

 

[Oliver Hardy]

We just have no answer for Poppens, Prinz and Kristofferson and haven't had all year.

They beat us 3 times and it really wasn't close any time, IMO. They are just flat better than us.

Well, get some rest and the girls soldier on in a few days.

Maybe we got all of our crappy shooting out of our system for whatever is left of the year.

 

[sybarite]

I think it's more of a matter of matchups. How did TCU beat Iowa State when they couldn't beat OU? What did they do to beat Iowa State? What did West Virginia do in Ames to beat Iowa State?

We seemed to play a style that fit right into what they were doing, as well as what they wanted us to do. They can guard us if we try the short-range game. We hit our first two threes and began to back off, looking for ways to get short-range jumpers and layups. We often passed up wide open threes.

I think we have to hit threes in order to open up the interior. If we try to go inside when it isn't open, we simply take bad shots and turn it over. We have to take what is there. We are a good three-point shooting team when we relax. But, we have to do it in rhythm.
