  2. Did much better against the zone tonight. Makes that Tech game all the more irritating. Jones and Gaston's games both getting better, will be huge for us going forward. Had more trips to the line than our opponent for a change, 16 to 25
  3. Vic giving Jak a ton of minutes, like it's a preseason game.
  4. God Damn that defense is killing em. OU with 6 in the quarter
  5. Loved Gaston's choice to ole the defense on the runout, didn't pick up her 4th and the girl still missed the shot.
  6. Gaston's confidence in that outside shot continues to grow. A great sign. Can't leave Robertson open ladies.
  7. We are 8 for 13 from three. 61.5% Yowza.

She leads the team in made threes per game, drilling 2.7 three-pointers per contest (making 42 percent of her attempts). _________________________________________________________ We can score on them but we've got to get some stops. No more fast break freebies. Vic said after Baylor we weren't penalized for contesting shots (unlike at Tech). Hopefully that will be the case tomorrow.
  9. After the Baylor game Vic said he didn’t press today, not one possession. Said he thought we might be better just guarding them in the half-court mainly because the Baylor guards are really good. Laughed about stopping pressing altogether. We'll see what he does on Wednesday.
  10. This would dramatically change our season.
  11. Rori back on the bench, thank god. Holle at the last millisecond Hells yes!
  12. They were going to call that no matter what.
  13. They are at 41% from three we are at 18% after shaylee's prayer
