We play:

Arkansas (away)
Yale (home)
West Virginia (home)
Kansas (away)
Tech (away)

In order to get back on track we need to finish 4-1 in those 5 games. I doubt we can beat W. Virginia but the rest should be winnable. That would give us a record of 9-5 overall and 2-1 in conference play.
 
I think Kansas away is going to be tough. Usually Sherri's teams improve a lot during the holiday period. Hopefully, it will again this year.

we are really hurting for production from KayKay, Campbell-Olds and Little. Got to get them going.
 
3-2 might be more likely until we get settled on the inside. Arkansas will be tough in Little Rock. West Virginia is tough anywhere. This is the same Kansas team that beat Cal on the road, and they are strong in the middle with Gardner. Isn't she ever going to graduate?
 
Notice that UConn took out #25 DePaul by about thirty-five tonight.

Baylor 74 Syracuse 72 in Waco.

The Baylor game was actually played in Florida.

Baylor won the rebounding battle easily, but were out shot in buckets by a bit, and in a big way in 3's. Baylor won the game at the line. 30 free throws to 13.
 
A win @ Arkansas and a blow out vs Yale could be just what the team needs to get confidence heading in to big 12 play...

Kansas beat Cal in Lawrence this season, but it was a huge blowout. They made it look easy. I agree about Arkansas and West Virginia.
 
With them being a turnover machine we will go 2-3 the next five games and maybe 1-4.
 
If we lose to Arkansas, which isn't a great team, this team potentially will lose even more confidence and go into a tailspin.

I hope Sherri employs the same defense used against Duke. Yes, I know Duke scored a lot of points but, that just shows how much better they are than OU. It would have been worse if we would not have trapped. Likely Arkansas will have trouble with the trap because they do not have the same type of athletes or talent. We also need to win the rebounding battle. That and go inside out on offense and we should be fine.
