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.

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.

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

Baylor's legs look dead early.

Playing at Oregon State's pace.

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

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.
