OU vs Northwestern St 6pm 11/30

This should be a fairly easy game to win.

Our next game, against Ole Miss, however will be a BIG test. They are taller, and probably more athletic than we are. They've received votes in the AP poll, behind us, and only lost to Utah by 2 last week when they played. I think that game will be a key indicator where we are at right now, and more importantly if we've made any improvements since the Utah stomping. I hope we have, because it won't get much easier and games will be hard to win without better defense and attention to boxing out/rebounding. So far I think pretty much every team we've played has outrebounded us!!!
 
Both Washington and Perkins in OU sweats out with the rest of the team during warmup
 
23-12 OU after Q1. Key stat is OU leads rebounding 19-8
 
Leading in turnovers!!! :eddie187_jpg_xs:

I know we're playing lots of players, but why can't Jennie teach our players to value the ball??
We will never compete for championships as long as the turnovers continue to be a real problem.

Same question I have had for years with Sherri also.
 
Do frequent turnovers occur in isolation or can then be more likely to occur as a result of some other aspect of offensive play?

If you have some elite and tall bigs on the team it seems to me that you can play a slower and more deliberate offense which will result in fewer turnovers.

Running a high paced offense to generate scores when you can't over power people on the inside or be assured of strong rebounding when playing at a slower pace may necessarily lead to more turnovers. We are able to take advantage of our excellent guard play but must suffer a higher rate of turnovers.

I do not mean to assert that the above comments are fact as I do not know enough about the sport to do that. I would appreciate others' comments.

I think your point is pretty accurate. Jennie’s style is to play fast and aggressive to get as many high percentage shots as possible. Also turnovers just plague women’s basketball. OU averages 16.0, UConn 15.2 and South Carolina 14.7…so OU isn’t a lot worse than the top 2 teams in the country.

But we've got to subscribe to a certain narrative – facts be damned.
 
Yeah, but look at the quality of their opponents, versus ours....we haven't played anywhere near the level talent they have. And when we did, we were stomped! I hope that was an one-off for the rest of the season!

By and large, uptempo teams are going to have more turnovers than teams that play at a more deliberate pace. But we do have turnovers every game where the player had the right idea but didn't execute the pass well enough. I love to watch UConn on the break because they pass so well. This year, in particular, we have played a lot of different lineups in an effort to get Ana back in the swing of things and get playing time for the freshmen when the game is still in doubt instead of in garbage time. That also leads to more turnovers.
