That was the first quarter Lady Bears have been outscored in a long time. This has me nervous for sure.

The same thing i said we cannot let happen is happening.

We're letting gulich dominate us just like the Michigan post did in the 1st half of last game.

Trying to force it into kalani right now isn't working. We need motion and ball movement. Let Alexis create some off the dribble and then maybe we can get into a flow.

Crap. Gotta complete our shots. We are just giving them way too many chances to shoot!

First time we've been outscored in qtr in a long long time

We are forcing to Kalani down low and she's just not in sync right now. Let Morris and Juicy break down this defense and free them up.

It's the exact same thing we would do if Wallace was healthy.

Baylor 0 offensive rebounds, Oregon St. 4 offensive rebounds. We seem lethargic.

Well coached teams know what you want to do and they will try to deny that all night. Previous poster is right. Have to have much much more movement on the O end, but that starts with good D. I get the feeling they can spot shoot all night right now.

Ugly start. Brown is way out of sync. Better wake up fast

She doesn't like contact and Oregon State is physical.

Baylor's legs look dead early.

Playing at Oregon State's pace.

We're going to win, but we need to pick up the intensity on both ends

Cox is our most important player by far. Not brown. We'll go as far as she takes us.

Gulic is destroying Kalani. Put Cox on her.

Kalani needs to come back out with the attitude she had last game in the 2nd half

Those screens by the Beavers are all using their hips but the refs are letting it go.

Richards draws an off the ball charge

2nd on Pivec

Chou in

Richards misses, taps it out to Morris, Morris gets hit and no call on a jumper

Richards draws another offensive foul on a moving screen

This is just sloppy, but at least the refs are calling the moving screens.

Honestly, only one player is beating us.

Last week it was 2, this week it's 1. Take Gulich out the game and we win this.

I sense a change in attitude. Let's make a run with Pivec on the bench. Would be nice to hit a couple threes to open the lane.
