Unfortunate that Martin is out for the year because she would make this WVU team that much better. Not sure we would still be in the game if she was playing.

Not sure how much hotter WVU could be from 3.

Law of averages usually come into play at some point, but she went off in the Big 12 Championship

Got to stop forcing the ball to the post. That's their whole game plan and we are just handing it to them.

Bad entry passes both times. They're projecting the pass so the defense knows when to slide over and help.

Sometimes it's just so hard for me to see how she misses and seems to turn it over right at the basket with her height.

If Wallace can produce like this more often then we will be in good shape. She's at her best when Morris is on the court.

Fortunately even when everyone else sleepwalks through a half, Kristy Wallace will always bring her hustle. She and Chou bailed everyone else out.

I think it's good that this team was tested like this today. Offense wasn't really the issue today but defense was not great. WVU did shoot really well but there were some plays where our D was just broken down. This game will make us better.

I would like to know what was said at the half. Something tells me CKM may have had a few choice words in the locker room. It certainly worked.

Wallace said Kim told them to pick up the defense and they did.

Tough game to watch. Give credit to WV, they were given a good game plan, and executed it well, played well and were fortunate to hit a number of threes, cooled off some on the threes in the second half. Heros for us include Wally, plus very quietly Brown and Chou. I was wondering where Brown was in the game and the TV team pointed out Kalani already had a double double. But fouling problems again for her. The game showed what can happen if you do not play good defense throughout. I was very proud of our players and the coaching staff. I suspect that there was some carryover from the UT game that affected this game.
