I bet these idiots will get loud during the t shirt toss though

 

[Volfan2012]

1 for 7 from the three terrible start.

 

[SGMVols]

That was actually a good foul because there was going to be another transition layup

 

[volsarelife1]

Far from it. This pace is EXACTLY what we want. Oklahoma will be sucking air by the 2Q.

Oklahoma is just behind us in pace per game. They're used to this

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Oklahoma doesn’t appear to be bothered by the press at all

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

3 pt shooting got to get better fast. Come on girls your on your home court, no excuses.

 

[VolBall09]

Such a fast paced game already! Defense needs to get better and more disruptive!

Somebody needs to get back or pick off that long pass. If we let them throw that everytime there is no reason to press. Just wasting energy.

 

[mudcat1973]

If we aren’t gonna rebound and play some defense this is over before it’s started

we're playing the best team we played So far

 

[VolBalls33]

Lobo isn't wrong, but her joy comes through when UT struggles. That sly they gonna gonna do it again, pissed me off.
If the Sooners are beating the pressure so easily, stop doing it.

Oklahoma doesn’t appear to be bothered by the press at all

Letting them throw the long pass right over it everytime makes it completely ineffective. Someone has to pick those passes and make them think twice about throwing them.

They are well coached and a veteran team.

Far from it. This pace is EXACTLY what we want. Oklahoma will be sucking air by the 2Q.

It's possible that Beers will be sucking air.

 

[KTrain]

1 for 7 from the three terrible start.

Yep and long rebounds are letting them get out and basically neutralizing the press so far

 

[RespectAPA]

It's possible that Beers will be sucking air.

Right, their most important player in this matchup.

I’m watching on mute. I can’t do it. Unlistenable.

 

[RAVOL]

Adjustment time to easy for boomer but this we knew it would be early. Now Kim want be happy with 3 point attempts. To early and we're not good shots. Only the one make came off rebound. Patience good looks will come. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Volfan2012]

Probably needing to press man to man without the trap.

 

[lfvol]

Really interesting Kim went away from the five in five out from the jump today.

 

[SGMVols]

This game and the next one are probably going to be the reminder that the realistic goal for this team is to just keep the tournament streak alive.

 

[VolBall09]

And another layup for Oklahoma. Haven’t made them take a tough shot yet. Gonna get ugly I’m afraid.

 

[VolBall09]

Annnnd another layup

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Terrible defense by us

 

[VolBall09]

No energy at all definitely. Truly pathetic.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We’re in trouble

 

[VolBall09]

If Puckett dribbles it’s over she has not scored off the bounce single time this season. A coach needs to tell her no more. Period. Stop putting the ball down. If you’re open, shoot, otherwise swing the damn ball.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

OK just better at this style of game than LV's right now.
