OU vs W. Virginia

[gosooner2]

One thing about WVU when they foul they want you on the floor. Try to drive around them and they do not step in the way they try to trip you and put you on the floor. A lot of what they do looks flagrant to me but they do a good job of making it look legit. I wonder if this is taught or just comes from "street ball"?

They have let the women's game get out of hand with all the bumping, slapping, holding, and just plain old mugging. Bring back the game from the 90's when all types of ladies could play the game.

They're practically a mirror image of aTm. Gary Blair, the coach at Tex. A&M, teaches it and I think the W. Virginia coach does too. If you called all the fouls on them, they couldn't field a team after the first fifteen minutes. They both recruit quick, athletic kids, and carry a full roster. They run them in and out, but they all play the hack, grab, trip game, to the hilt. They try to wear you down running the floor and every trip down, they are reaching, grabbing and hacking every step of the way. Hey, that's just how they roll.

Well they're Rollin back to Morgantown with that thug ball. Lol. You notice they don't play that rough against Baylor or Sulky Mulky would still be chewin on those referees, some of those fouls need to be looked at by the big 12 office IMO... Great win though!!!!

Anyone know how many 3's they usually hit per game? They hit 10 yesterday.

When Blair had a good offensive team his NC year, he backed off on the hack and slap defense.

WV finished 156 for 514 for a 30.4% shooting percentage from three in 29 games. That's about six per game. If they shoot 30%, you kind of let them do it.

Just watching the replay vid clip from SoonerSports.com, and the foul that Crystal Leary put on Sharane should have been flagged as flagrant. Sharane clearly had the defense beaten, ball already out of her hands, and Leary came from behind and laid a body block into Campbell! Seemed like the intent was to see if they could make Sharane woozy to the point that she couldn't make either of the free throws.
It almost worked, she missed the first of the two...

I hope you recorded it.

KC, unfortunately I didn't BUT Sooner Sports had about 5 minutes of video showing the big plays in the last half. I wish I had the whole thing though. Can't wait for the game here in just a bit

I glanced at the scoreboard at the end of the first half. I think they hit 9 3's. At one point late in the game, I looked again and the had hit one in the second half.

They didn't need to. Seems to me they were pounding it inside at will. Why take a 22 footer when two will do?

Which game are you talking about? I was referring to WVU.

ny other coach would have taken her off and have someone else shoot those free throws.

At first we thought that at the game, too, but you can't have another player already on the floor shoot them, it has to be the sub coming off the bench. None of the players on the bench were as dependable a free throw shooter as Sharane.

And isn't there some bizarre rule that says Sherri wouldn't have been able to pick who shoots the free throws in that situation?

No, she could pick any player she wanted off the bench.

 

[O-State2009]

Actually, the opposing coach gets to pick a player off the bench to replace the injured player to take FTs.

I thought I had read that, but I wasn't sure it had been implemented. It just seems wrong. WVU player injures an opponents player badly enough that she can't shoot free throws so the WVU coach gets to pick who shoots in her place?

Correct, and the injured player cannot re-enter the game.
