Week 13 - Jan 27 to Feb 2

They lost their leading scorer the other day. Out for the season.

I forgot about that.

Watching some Big Sky action, a rock fight between Montana St. and Sacramento St. Sac. St. has a freshman from Australia named Amoore. Younger sister of Georgia. Looks a lot like her too.

Blakes' performance is under the fold on ESPN WBB front page under approximately 2 million highlight clips of LSU-OU and the top 25 scoreboard. Seems awfully downplayed for the magnitude of the record but obviously I'm biased.

Oklahoma making a run.

Were they better last year? Or is the SEC just that much tougher than the Big 12? If they lose, they'll drop to 4-4 in conference. They went 15-3 last season.

Than the Big 12? For sure.

Horns avoid disaster, but only beat hapless Missouri by 9 in Austin. I'm telling ya, something's not quite right with Texas.

Harmon is facilitating but her offense has not been crisp

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Carolina gets a decent road win at Cal 65-52. Heels continue to be a team where you never know what to expect from them.

Elsewhere in the Bay Area, Stanford about to get their third ever ACC win against Pitt.

 

[GamecockFam]

Arkansas won tonight! Handily too, 72-51 over Texas A&M. And I thought the Aggies had been gaining a bit of momentum lately.

I think the story this year for Texas A&M has been injuries. They just got back two players from injury only to have Coulibaly be injured and out for the rest of the season.

Aside from being a bit shorthanded inside, there is no reason for LSU’s defense to be this bad. Their athleticism is off the charts and Mulkey was known as an excellent defensive coach at Baylor.

Oklahoma lives and dies by their O, always has.

Lots of LSU concern here.

Normally their defense is good: 62 points per game.

Strange game, tons of fouls, techs, ejections, LSU choked away a 24 PT lead...but behind Makayla Williams 38 points w7 threes..... they still WON.

Oklahoma #4 in SEC, and recently had been clubhouse leader for the #8 spot. (meanwhile Ohio St and Duke)

LSU never looks good, but they beat and hang with the good teams. Still will be a #2 seed and most likely like usual still there in round of 8.

That's been the theme of this years LSU team, Play up and down to competition. Its a very good team but also vulnerable since they dont maintain consistency in how they play. They will have spurts (1-2 quarters of brilliant ball) but then just not show up for the other 1-2 quarters. PG play is erratic from SDW and LSU doesn't have a real center inside to compliment Morrow. Sa'Myah is a 4, not a 5, and she is coming off an ACL injury (now has had both ACL's repairs). Flaujae is good but she is a turnover machine and her decision making has been very poor overall this year. I feel she hasn't been as good as what she was at the end of last season in my opinion. Obviously a gifted offensive player but she is so reckless with the ball and it hurts LSU.

This group has to be the first Mulkey coached team that I can remember who legit does not want to play defense very often. Defense is all about effort and grit, this group just seems to want to score and dont have the same effort and intensity on the other side of the ball.

Agree with all. Despite our griping, they will enter ncaa tourney at 30-4, will be a #2 seed, and will show up in elite 8.

Morrow will be 1st team AA. FJ 3rd team. Williams hon men.

In elite 8 pending matchups, anything can happen. Mulkey's first and worse LSU team even avoided Goliath and won an unexpected natty. Many complained, but trophy has not been taken away yet.
