[HoopsHeel]

Rebounding and free throws! Too many 3s.

Harpring's efficiency is an issue so far. 3-13 shooting . 3 assists. 3 turnovers.

 

[uncjhodges]

interesting strategy to get dominated by LeeLee Bell and then decide to not guard her

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Good deal. Women's team has the same problem on the glass as the men's team does.

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Harpring's efficiency is an issue so far. 3-13 shooting . 3 assists. 3 turnovers.

Maybe we should keep shooting three point shots. It seems to be working out very well.

 

[kystroup]

The way the game is being officiated isn't lining up with how we want to play

 

[uncjhodges]

Terrible call on Burrows for her 4th but don’t get a whine from Lobo and Roucco on that call- just silence. to the point i thought Lobos mic malfunctioned

 

[3397char]

White is often first woman to the floor. love the hustle.

 

[3397char]

Bofia sees the court before Thomas. Her mobility is probably winning the day. I assume we have brought her in because the freshman Bell is killing us; hope she can mark her.

 

[kystroup]

That can't happen out of a timeout

 

[3397char]

Maybe we should keep shooting three point shots. It seems to be working out very well.

33% from 3 is OK, but 37% on 2 pt attempts is really bad. the failed dribble drives are the bigger issue right now.

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Follow your shot.

And then promptly give up another 3 on the other end.

And then turn it over.



My gosh.

 

[PonsterM]

Sloppy. We have a ton of work to do on offense.

 

[kystroup]

Just unbelievable. Why is our senior team captain PG losing her man off the ball, giving up a 3, and then immediately turning it over?

 

[kyleheel30]

Turnovers galore. Might be a long year

 

[FanaticalHeel]

33% from 3, 37% on 2 pt attempts. the failed dribble drives are the bigger issue right now.

The dribble drives are largely not on ball movement, but players trying to create out of stagnant sets. That's a reoccurring problem in the CB era. The ball largely sits still, is over-dribbled and we settle for a contested shot.

Just rarely good offense against good teams.

 

[uncjhodges]

this is horrendous basketball

 

[FanaticalHeel]

There we go. Miss a million shots and not box out.

And not box out again.

May be the most frustrating opening game I've ever seen.

 

[Gio2dahouse]

Not addressing the paint is going to kill us

 

[kystroup]

I'm starting to think that CB spends so much practice time on defense that we don't get enough reps of basic stuff like layups and free throws

 

[ncjmayo]

Those missed layups are a lingering problem from last year that cost us

 

[FanaticalHeel]

this is horrendous basketball

It really is. On both sides of the ball.

 

[Gio2dahouse]

Missing layups at at crazy pace

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Kelly just flatfooted and giving no help-side defense there. Love it from your upperclassman.

 

[kystroup]

I'm just so frustrated. None of the upperclassmen have come ready to play

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Yeah...cutting this one off. This team has shown so very little heart.

maybe true at times in the past. But we have rarely been in a single digit shot clock in this game. If anything we are moving too fast.

We just cant match Oklahoma's interior defense.

And the bigger issue is 30 pts allowed this quarter. No bueno.

 

[heelsfan4life]

No bigs

we lost this coming out of the half small

Yep. Enjoying Paris too much. That's why we can't put much stock in these early season games far from home.

 

[ncjmayo]

Get healthy soon, Ciera - we need the help in the post!

You can still have a stagnant possession without running a lot of shot clock. Even that last possession that Akot scored on...

Kelly dribbled the entire time (almost lost it). Made one pass to Akot. Akot dribbled more than a handful of times and threw a shot up. No movement off the ball.

That's a very typical possession for a CB team.

The other team is play ing in Paris too!

 

[OKIHeels881217]

If people think that men’s officiating is bad, then they have never watched women’s basketball haha

 

[Heelyeah#23]

Courtney can recruit. That's it!!
Oh, and say the word RIGHT 20 times an interview.

 

[kystroup]

I mean none of Laila's 3's have been remotely close.

 

[Churchilldog]

South Carolina will beat this team unmercifully unless someone can make a basket. Terrible shooting.

 

[kystroup]

Courtney, is a quick hitter 3 to Akot really the best call down 18?

 

[TarHeel391]

It's crazy how BT is just unplayable. She can't even get into the game.

 

[3397char]

Really impressed with Bofia. She looks like a future star yet again today.

Team defense has fallen apart.
