This is going to be a tough game, but it's a perfect opportunity for our ladies to turn things around against a quality Big 12 opponent on their home court.

I heard Whitney is going to be making the trip from Pittsburgh to Morgantown for the game. Hopefully that will inspire the girls to play well!

This team needs all the help it can get!!

WVU already out to a 14 point lead. Doesn't look like we should expect much today.

Until this team learns to move the ball by passing and not dribbling, they are going to be stagnant on offense against a very tough West Virgina team. Down 12 early and we don't have a clue. Looks like loss number 3 in the Big XII to me, they just don't have the fire in them except for Sharane and Kaylon.

Except for Aaryn's lucky three off the glass, I haven't seen one kid come any where close to hitting an outside shot. How about working some inside looks and try getting to the line. This is pathetic!!!!

 

[SoonerNorm]

Why is Aaryn playing defense under the basket?

 

[SoonerNorm]

We can't leave their 3 pt. shooters open and expect to win.

Rocjunkie, you are right...this team LOVES to dribble. That prevents us from moving the ball quickly and finding open shooters.

Need come out with a little more fire and make me eat my words in the second half. We just need to guard the 3 point line better and close down those drives.

With Kaylon and Nicole in at the same time, we sure didn't do a very good job of moving the defense and taking advantage of our posts. Come on girls think pass first before dribble.

 

[SoonerNorm]

We don't leave shooters open much in a man defense but we aren't as good in covering the perimeter in a zone.

Yeah, I just knew we were going to look inside first with them both in the game but that didn't really happen.

WVU has scored 18 pts BTA compared to our 6.

Well the good news is the Sooners are only down 8 points. WV is shooting over 60% and 6-9 from beyond the 3.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Griffin has zero points and only 2 rebounds. Not good.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Caldwell is going to kill us in a zone. She's 4 for 4 BTA now.

 

[brokebacksooner]

OU within 4; WV down to 50% in shooting; but still hitting way too many 3s
