???? That was a terrible pass, it wasn’t there.

it was a bad pass but the player has to go to the ball

 

[caulkasian]

No, we were 19 points worse. Look I am all for cardinal sunglasses, but thank God for those Belanger threes because Texas dominated us even worse than we did OU yesterday and that’s saying something. Sure there should have been a few more fouls on Texas and a couple on us were questionable, but that didn’t matter. They are playing an A+ game and we aren’t beating that.

Texas will have to drop their level considerably to even make this a game. And that’s fine, as our girls have still had a hell of a last three weeks here. Texas should be better than us by quite a bit when you look at their roster compared to ours.

Texas is getting great ball movement, spacing, and open shots. Could see those corner 3s coming from miles away. On offense, Texas fights through every ISU screen and is in their faces for the entire shot clock. We'll see how this second half goes.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Could have been in even worse if Texas hadn't missed three or four bunnies at the rim.

 

[CYDJ]

*top?

Good point. That is pretty Junior High criticizing there. I need to get my head out of my ass. Thanks, I'll try to do better.

 

[Jdk]

I would love for this Texas team to play this defense on the lady suckeyes cc would be going ape **** on every call against them this Texas team would beat them

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Our refusal to run a free flowing offense is a lot of our problem. If we just initiated our offense with a screen and moves the ball things would be different. It’s so frustrating to watch and this isn’t just a tonight issue.

 

[jctisu]

19 points is quite a difference (and I don't disagree its been ugly), but a difference of 4-6 fouls going in our direction (a few missed on them, unfair ones on us) definitely changes the game enough that we're not down 19.

Ok fine if it makes you feel better. Damn folks are we watching the same game? Give them those fouls. They are clearly better than us tonight at this point. And that’s ok. Sometimes in sports this happens. OU felt the same way yesterday getting absolutely blitzed by a team they swept in the regular season.

Audi had a travel on the block in the beginning that may have been, but it was close. Gaston took a trip around the f'in world on a made basket. they need to make up their mind if you know how to call a travel or not. Consistency. That's all they HAVE to do.

 

[madguy30]

Some similar themes to the men's team. Too much dribbling.

 

[ISUCY23]

Ryan is playing terrible. Awful passes and just blows a layup.

 

[ianoconnor]

Ryan got shoved in the back on the fast break.. cmon

 

[jctisu]

Gotta make that layup

 

[Cyched]

 

[ianoconnor]

With the Milan step back

 

[jctisu]

Texas energy has definitely come down out of half. Come on ladies!

 

[CYDJ]

So you CAN touch people that are going to the bucket ahead of you as defense?

 

[jctisu]

Addy is flustered. Could see that steal coming a mile away.

 

[caulkasian]

That back screen is killing ISU.

 

[ISUCY23]

Will they call an illegal screen on Texas too?

 

[cycloneworld]

Ryan dribbling herself into too many bad situations and turning it over

6 turnovers already. Yikes.
