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

[DaBball]

Are we serious here? Hebard is hitting McCowan with a forearm the entire time. Teaira turns and her elbow is the same level as Hebard’s face. NOTHING.

 

[SCspur]

Bibby came to play today

Yeah she did but Freshman Taylor Chavez obviously got lost on that play. Not sure why she’s the primary defender for Bibby.

 

[SECbbfan24]

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

She isn't ready yet. She isn't consistent on offense and doesn't provide defense like Danberry, Taylor or Holmes does

 

[SCspur]

That’s a basketball play and I thought they could have played on...

 

[DaBball]

AEH had a nice take just didn’t finish.

 

[Orangutan]

I thought it was a foul on McCowan on the first watch. I thought it could have went either way on replays.

Unsportsmanlike is just a joke. If that's what the rule says to do, fix the rules.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cazorla on the drive again. Where has that been all year?

 

[JordyG]

Waiting For Sabrina (Godot).

 

[Plebe]

Cazorla is a master at rejecting the high ball screen.

 

[JordyG]

Cazorla on the drive again. Where has that been all year?

No other team they've faced has been so slow to react off the high screen and roll.

 

[DefenseBB]

Wow a walk call against Howard...finally!

 

[JordyG]

Kelly finally switched defensive players on Howard.

If I had to make a split second decision I might have called it on either player. Announcers were right: that play is just 6’7 going up strong and someone invading her space. Griner used to get called for stuff like that and Mulkey used to say “she’s 6’8! Everything she does is above the shoulder.” The same can be said of McCowan.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I'm a bit torn. Back in the day if the defense was crowding you, clearing some space with the elbow was just part of basketball. But that era is long gone.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Does Miss St wanna miss any more lay ups?

 

[DefenseBB]

Oregon has energy tonight!

 

[JordyG]

Good TO by Vic. McCowan looking a little tired and frustrated, Oregon pulling away. MSS typically misses shots. They just rebound for second chances. Not tonight.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This isn't quite like Brown for Baylor against Stanford, but McCowan is definitely looking big and slow and not able to keep up with the pace of the game. Maybe Pac 12 teams are kryptonite for aircraft carrier post players this year.

 

[Plebe]

What a great crowd for the Ducks. Glad to see the strong turnout for this game. And I'm glad ESPN is covering it despite the late start time.

 

[JordyG]

There is an open player every high post screen and roll by Oregon.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu getting going in Q2.

 

[JordyG]

After the foul McCowan complaining to the ref that she's fouled on every play. She's becoming a real complainer.

 

[Orangutan]

Now there's the call for shoving McCowan in the back. Vic's words to the refs didn't fall on deaf ears.

 

[msf22b]

Two good teams, entertaining BB
Miss State slightly better on D
Oregon may be slightly more proficient on the "O" side

 

[nwhoopfan]

Another turnover on the inbound.
