Observations from tonight’s game...
If there is one thing to be said about this twister sisters squad it they have no quit in them. OSU made pushes several times in the second half to cut double digit leads down to five points. Every single time the sisters answered. EVERY single time. It was a drive. It was a trey. It was key rebounds. They answered the call and knocked OSU from the top of the Big 12 standings.
The other thing to be said is we likely watched the two best players in the conference tonight. Mack and Joens put on a show. We don’t have a post that can guard Mack so she pretty much had free reign under the hoop going for 34 and 13. But she’s no one trick pony. She easily stepped out and hit a few from the 10-12 foot range. She has quite the story too. If you haven’t heard it...look it up. Very inspiring. Joens did her thing as well. She had to work for it more as Ashley often does, but she notched another double double with 30 and 15. The big difference is Joens has a better supporting cast and that won the game tonight.
When OSU started fouling at the end it was kind of half hearted. It was like they knew we wouldn’t miss and the game was over. Another great night at the line going 12-13.
The threes have continued to fall. Percentage was just like the last game (49%) and every single one was at a crucial time. Interestingly, at the end of the game it was layups and mid rangers that did the trick.
Ryan continues to dish. Six assists on the night and had one beautiful one handed pass inside for two in the first half.
Donarski. What can you say? When she’s on the court it’s like having a Ferrari out there. Quick, fearless and deadly.
Maddie had her best game of the year. A dozen points to go along with dealing with Mack all night.
M&M just keeps on cooking. Puts in 15.
I’m curious what’s happened to Aubrey Joens? Her playing time has dropped big time,
Finally...this team is fun to watch, crazy frustrating at times, but fun. Unlike some teams in the past I know there is more in the tank when they need it. The depth is unlike anything we’ve probably ever seen for a sisters team. There are numerous players coach can put in the game with no drop off or fear they are a liability. This is a good thing. Especially when they are so young. Fun times ahead folks...fun times ahead.
