We go into a game with a gameplan. If that gameplan doesnt work we are in big trouble because we seem to be unable to come up with a counter attack mid game.

Have you been drinking or have I??

I am too old to post on my phone.. no drinking, just fat fingers and never spellcheck.

Since they were giving Jada wide-open threes all game and she'd hit six of them including one just a moment ago, I'd have drawn up a play to get her a three for the win.

What do I know though, just a CF poster not a coach.

But no, you have her take the ball out and take her totally out of the play.

 

[GP4ISU]

Don’t even have to draw it up, she’s just standing there open

The pass back to the inbounded is almost always gold

To be honest I went back and watched it and there were WAY worse missed moving screens in the game. Check about every rescreen they attempted. Their guards are not discipolined enough to actually use a set screen a second time. Sad that we lost. Baylor deserves nothing good to happen to them pretty much forever. Just shows that their is not justice in the world.

On to the next game.

That and their coach in the refs ear the whole game, call before that they actually made she told them all they way down the court how bad the call was!

Seriously it started on defensive end! If we had a foul to give, use it! I wonder if he said to foul away from the basket. Sure didn't seem like it. Just stands there with his arms crossed.......

I don’t think this Baylor team is that good. I Won’t be shocked if Baylor isn’t even ranked at end of conference play.

With how Baylor was defending us in the second half, daring Jada to shoot, it’s on our coaching staff to adjust to that in SOME way. Even if the strategy is to have her shoot every open shot, it would have been better than standing there and then forcing it into Audi and AB again and again. We just LET them out scheme us until we lost.

Addy brown is wearing a back brace

I looked for this after reading your comment at halftime and couldn’t see it. She definitely wasn’t moving well but nobody said anything about a back brace or injury - I’m referencing the announcers.

If injured, wouldn’t a commentator have picked up on it and why was she playing if it was an injury causing her to be ineffective?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Just couldn’t hit wide open jumpers, not much more to say about that

 

[HoustonClone]

Just couldn’t hit wide open jumpers, not much more to say about that

And then we simply refused to even take them. We then became even more predictable, and lost as a result.

Baylor played harder defensively and out rebounded. They also got to shoot 8 more free throws.

I only have radio and our crew somehow hates refs even worse than me. Is it really as bad as they are saying and the crowd groans I can hear?

Welcome to the Jamie Steyer experience. It’s this way every game and it’s really difficult to listen to. We never foul, they always foul.

 

[OWLCITYCYFAN]

A couple of observations I haven’t seen from others, so I’ll throw them out there for consideration.

Towards the end of the first half, Bill had three PG on the floor at the same time - Jada, Reece and Reagan. WTH was that? I think we’re were outscored 11-2 in that span - it might have been worse. Ridiculous…

I say this every game. We need to get more shots for Kenzie Hare. She took the same number of threes as Audi today. If Hare isn’t shooting, she shouldn’t be on the court.

Reece was not a positive today and she saw too much court time. I don’t blame her - she’s a freshman and missed five games. Let AJ run point when Jada needs a break. Reece wasn’t ready for this game and shouldn’t have been thrown into the melee!

Lastly, and probably my biggest gripe - why isn’t Evangelia Paulk getting more run? We’re getting abused by Baylor’s 6’ athletes, while we have an athletic physical 6’ conference defensive player of the year on our bench! Put EP on Littlepage-Buggs and let them have at it.

 

[bozclone]

It seems to me that we could have got Jada a layup or at least a short midrange shot at the end. Put everyone ball side except Jada and force her girl to front Audi and leave Jada unguarded opposite the ball side. Have to find a way to exploit their defense.

I've never seen a coaching staff that talks to the refs as much as Baylor WBB.

Probably a good thing I’m not a ref- I would have T’d her up half way through the first half for being out on the court and fairly aggressive in asserting her point. I get you have to call out the officiating, but there’s a way to do it without getting in a ref’s face
