Well, Hosey is a thug. I have watched her go after quite a few girls this year. She is a dirty player...whether you include that foul of not.

We've outscored them in every quarter. Let's keep it up.

They've hit 5 3's. We've hit none.

Actually that foul on Brown although not planned gave us an extra breather. We need to use every time out we've got in qtr 4

Hosey stopped looking for the ball and went straight for the body. Looked like an easy call to me but guess not. Good quarter regardless

Hosey is the player that ran over Chou on the play where she had her arm broken. She just throws her body in with no intent to control. She is extremely dirty.

If this is her style of play and her coach plays her, what does that say about her coach?

Interesting how these announcers aren't making that big of a deal of Baylor playing 7 against 12 and still winning.

I wish Brown played with her hands up in the post defensively ...

Have cox and brown played every minute this far? Is it just Cohen and Richards subbing in and out? Or have I missed something?

I don't understand why we have not used out TO's more. WE are exhausted right now. I'm still taking every TO I've got down the stretch.

Yes.

Cox, Morris, and Brown have played all 35+ with Richards, Cohen, Landrum getting the other minutes and Moon 2-3.

Yes, every minute. That's why every time out is precious. This is now a one or two posession game.
