Reagan and Coach Neal were the guests on Sooner Sports Talk last night. They showed clips of Michael's career at OU. Reagan got a huge kick out of seeing them.

Also noted Plank said Jennie was not there because she was out recruiting

Being in the top 5 gives you lots of extra publicity…also good to forward to recruits

We must capitalize on this moment. Losing a talent like Beers will not be easy to replace.

I definitely believe we can/will beat Ole Miss at home. It's almost a must-win, looking at our next several games. Beating Kentucky at home will be a difficult task. They are massive, and their height alone will affect us, as it did last season. And their pg is incredible. We will definitely need to play great defense the entire game on the perimeter, as even their bigs can shoot the 3. They'll be super pumped playing at home against us, so i'll honestly be shocked and over the moon ecstatic if we come away with a win.

After we lose to South Carolina, can OU still achieve a winning record in the SEC?

Yes but likely not host is my understanding.

Of course UT is a great basketball team, they are LOADED with high school all-americans, and they are expected to be better than we are. The fact that we still had an opportunity to win that game says more about our potential than anything else, IMO. Vandy will be just as tough, but in a different way!

At the 12 minute mark he asks the question I’ve been fussing about all season. Keziah Lofton has always been a prolific shooter and scorer. They want her for defense and that’s unfortunate. I feel very validated though. That’s always a plus.

I just never see Lofton even try a midrange jumper, which i'm sure she wouldn't get yelled at for attempting....she tries 3s, which she mostly misses, as does everyone else on our team, lately. It just doesn't feel like this team is not capable of getting much better, based off of last night, and that's a shame considering how talented our 2 seniors that play are. Didn't even appear we so much as practiced in the one week we had off.

Maybe next season our 'young' players will be better, but then we'll have no center in Beers, and no sharpshooting combo player like Peyton to help us out offensively. Again, IMO JB failed this team by not bringing in ANYONE from the portal with some experience that could have been a calming presence out there.

She doesn’t have the ball in her hands. Go back to her high school and AAU film. She’s incredible. Why I fight so hard for it to be known. I want to key her here.
This is all on the coaching and decisions made. Nothing beats experience. We’ll have a winning season.

absolutely, it's impossible not to have a winning season from here on out. But, since January 6th (the post at the top of the page) we've gone 3-5 when we've played solid competition. We just aren't what i thought we'd be and that's my frustration, I thought this season we'd be making that next step up, into that top tier of women's basketball, but it just seems no matter who we have, it's just not in this staff's ability. The decision making on offense and inability to value the ball are not improving, and have not since the first game of the season. It is what it is at this point. I'm just glad us Sooner fans have softball now!

Offense must change. It’s out of control what they’re attempting to do.
