Mississippi St (5) @ Oregon (7) - 12/18/18

[JordyG]

In the first period Oregon has exposed McCown as a slow reactor off the pick and roll. She also doesn't keep her head up as guards run past her as she picks up her mark off the high post screen. By bringing her up top this opens i[t opens up the lane. This is the Pac 12 and teams in that conference are accustomed to working that high post screen and roll to death. Also Oregon is not a small team up front. McCowan has to give her mark attention. If Ionescu could just settle herself a bit and focus they'll be fine.

Slow footed Oregon can also get around Miss. St. at will.

It’s still early

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard and Cazorla on the bench to start Q2, not sure how long Oregon can afford that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

tell me that ball wasn't kicked by an MSU player

Is McCowan going to get quicker later in the game?

 

[JordyG]

The ND connection is on tonight.

Vic needs to change his defensive strategy. It's just silly having McCowan "trying" to hedge up high, waving at the ball and then watching Cazorla drive by her for a layup...again.

This has been my one issue with Vic. He's too hard headed on playing man to man.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McCowan has a couple blocks and got an and-1 on an O board

Ionescu finally gets a bucket

 

[nwhoopfan]

quick 4 points for MSU, got a layup, then steal and another layup

 

[nwhoopfan]

all tied at 24

 

[JordyG]

Oregon has not played well on in bounds and are slow to loose balls so far tonight.

Anriel Howard took 4 steps lol

Anriel Howard took 4 steps lol

But they were just little ones. Last night Harden took 5 and no one blinked.

 

[eebmg]

AEH got in 'unseen;. 2 quick misses and back to the bench.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Anriel Howard took 4 steps lol

I don't know who it was but I think one of them got away with about 5 or 6 steps on a drive previously

 

[SCspur]

I personally think Ionescu is being a little too tentative offensively. Every time Danberry is on her she should attack.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Am I the only one who thought Coach Schaefer was close to 70 years old? He is only 57

 

[JordyG]

Whoever McCown covers is going to have to work off of Oregon's high post action all night, no matter what Vic does.

And ya know that! It's from episode 8 season 2, "Kiksuya". The characters name is Akecheta. It was one of the greatest episodes in TV history.
