I saw her run to the tunnel near the end of the game. At first I thought she was getting warmed up but never came back. Maybe not feeling well???

After she left her team 4 on 5 when the teams returned back down to her end, she gave a good shove to Audi right in front of the official.
For the game, they really let them play. Big change from the TT game on Wednesday.
Yeah…there were some nasty plays right in front of the officials that made you shake your head.
Could well be with all of the winter virus stuff that we keep hearing about. We have had gals sick.
She needs some of Milan's jellybeans.
I seriously wonder if the women's team has the opportunity to visit with a "mental coach" like the men's team?
I'm sure its been mentioned before but it almost seems like she shoots one handed. Seems like her left hand comes off the ball a split second before releasing?She needs some of Milan's jellybeans.

She definitely needs to change some mechanics. In season it is what it is. I liked that she was setting screens for the ball handler yesterday. It puts pressure on the defense if they aren’t guarding her. I would also like to see her go to the block opposite Audi when they aren’t guarding her. We need to make teams pay for not guarding one of our players.
I agree that it is an "odd-looking" shot, but her three's yesterday surprised me. You can tell that she definitely lacks confidence at the free throw line before she ever attempts the shot. I have noticed AC gently encouraging her (before EP steps up to the FT line) if she is in the game. I really feel bad for EP on offense as it appears that she really doesn't want the ball. (Maybe doesn't want to get fouled?) She is a "force" at the other aspects of the game.
I was just curious if the women had the opportunity to visit with a sports psychologist.

Why are we talking like EP can’t shoot? She went 3-6 and 2-4 from the 3. Her conference season percentage isn’t that bad. I would say she needs to be less hesitant.
I think it's more "doesn't shoot" rather than "can't shoot."
She is definitely one of the most unique players I’ve seen. She reacts in half the time of a normal player. And the way she dives for the ball and shoots it down the floor like a rocket. And it often works. Truly appreciate her defensive intensity and craft. I think she just needs PT to find her offensive role. She shoots well in rhythm, she is just in conflict between mind and body sometimes.
I thought she looked very locked in on the corners yesterday on offense. I think she could have made quite a few from those spots.
There was one FT that was airballed by a lot. "I think" it was her after missing her 2 previous attempts.
watching the games after attending you see many times someone is in her face. Coach said in post game they ran plays for her to try to get her open
second point we have shooters but some times the ball just does not go through the hoop. also our game with UCF final score was much like the score they had with TCU, did not watch that game but scores were about the same
JMO but if you’re trying to win a Big 12 Championship next year you have to recruit or go in to the portal for a taller more talented/athletic shooting guard. Lexi Donarski type kid.
We have 4 solid starters coming back and 3/4 decent depth players.
Go all in next year!
All five starters return next year. The only person that graduates in Sydney Harris.
Easier said than done in the NIL era. If we open the pocketbook maybe, but to keep Audi, Addy, Jada and AJ it might be hard to draw a player in the portal with what I think will be limited funds.
Hope I am wrong...
From what I have heard, Harris can appeal for another year. Not a guarantee but she can try if she wanted.
