GAME THREAD:Oklahoma

[TitleTown]

Very sloppy first half, to be expected though after the long break.

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno not crazy about the defense, lol

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Her shot looks nothing like last year.

Nope. Not from really anywhere on the court. And her McHale-ish post moves are few are far between too.

 

[BigBird]

Does this game have a strange feel to anyone else?

Um. Yup.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Baskets in the Paint at the Half
Boomer Sooner 4+4 = 8
UConn 5 + 5 = 10

UConn played well on the offensive side except for the last few minutes where everything seemed to get compressed and they lost their spacing. Defense
looks sluggish. Used to giving up 3 pt shots at times but we are giving up a bit too much in the middle.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Huskies not really getting much going inside either. 10-8 paint edge is beyond unusual.

Refs must have been told to emphasize traveling calls tonight

In honor of Geno going for 1000 wins, the refs must have decided to enforce traveling violations with the strictness used when Geno was a wee boy.

 

[UConnCat]

She worked with a trainer over the summer. I always wonder if those summer trainers are vetted in any way.

It's the same trainer she has worked with the past 3 summers.

Defense on the inside was definitely lacking.

 

[Centerstream]

Pierre-Louis seemed to have only played half of the first half. If Sherri lets her play more minutes in the second half, our defense better be ready to step up and our offense better be wary of her presence in the paint

Surprised Oklahoma has Five losses based on how they're playing tonight. They have good ball movement on offense. Manning for Oklahoma has for the season has shot 27% on 3's. Tonight's she's 3 of 4 for 75%. Oklahoma has losses to DePaul, Oregon, So Dakota St, Little Rock and Florida. Probably only should have lost two of those games.

As Geno said at the court side interview, his team is rushing on offense that has led to TO's.

I think Geno does his team a bit of a disservice when he doesn't sprinkle in some underclassmen if we're up 15 plus points. Put in some AEH, or some IRWIN. It's really the only way they get better.

 

[HuskyNan]

Napheesa leading the team with 12 points. She also has 7 rebounds

I think he wants to see a lot more consistency among the 6 that have been playing so far. I think BatCam would be off the bench next if he needed to sub someone new in.

Your kidding. Did not look like it.

 

[HuskyNan]

#UConn holds a 15 point lead against @OU_WBBall at the half. Napheesa is pacing all #Huskies with 12 points and seven boards. #UConn is shooting 58% (18-31) from the field.

Wish they would show all the alumni

999.5 down. .5 to go

 

[HGN]

Has anybody noticed that Kia is shooting FT's left handed?

Geno will play them when he trusts them.

 

[Centerstream]

I did not know that Pierre-Louis had two fouls in the first half. Oops.

 

[huskeynut]

Pierre-Louis picks up her 3rd foul

 

[Blueballer]

OU is playing good game. As good as I've seen them this season.

I'm sure theres a great reason for it, he's a lot smarter than me. I kinda know our 6 starters are great. I'd like to see a few others get meaningful minutes. I know if MW was well she'd be mixed in.
