I'm feeling a Technical on CKM before half-time. Anyone else thinking that?

We are playing sloppy. Stupid turnovers. And Ducks already have a pair of 3's.

Time to focus girls.

Both of their 3's were bc we sagged just a tiny bit to help. Juicy gave up one and then Moon did right after. Mulkey pissed.

Oregon player just tried to split Cox and Brown on the drive.

No can do. Ended up traveling ...

Nice 15-4 Baylor run to end the first quarter.

Lady Bears lead 19-15.

Too close for me, but that 15-4 run is giving me hope that our girls are settling down.

Ban TimBear... Make a 15-4 run.

This could be the start of something great.

You are on to something there

Maybe its just me -- but a surprisingly Oregon centric broadcast from the announcers. I figured it'd be a more balanced presentation being the Final Four and all.
Jacques Strap

Chloe and Juicy are going to have to hit some open shots.
Media Bear

Ionescu getting a big bag of nothing from our defense on that possession.

Foul on Richards.
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ionescu found it that time.

19 all.

Juicy with a bucket. 21-19
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ionescu for 3.

22-21 Quackers.

Richards again. 23-22.
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ugh. Cox misses a bunny, but gets rebound and is fouled.

1-2 FTs. 24-22 BU.

Still the Oregon Ducks show (almost exclusively) in off-the-ball commentary.
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ducks gets the ultimate shooters roll bucket after a Kalani Brown block.

24 all.

Brown fouled at other end. They can't keep fouling us forever.

Brown misses first FT (can't do that), hits second.

25-24. Oregon already going to the bench (only have 8 players to really go to -- they're not a deep team at all).

5 min left in half.
Media Bear

Cox blocks Ionescu.

Juicy for 2. 27-24 Lady Bears.
Media Bear

Ducks getting stuffed inside by our defense.

3:49 left. 27-24 Lady Bears.

Wow, Oregon only has 8 players for tonight??!!

Making lots of dumb mistakes. Sure hope Chloe decides to start scoring before this is over. That's one of the big differences right now.
MommaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Chloe really needs to get on the scoreboard! She's 0-3 so far. We really need her tonight.
Brickyard Bear

Our half-court offense has not been ideal.
Jacques Strap

Tough opponent. I'd like to see more made free throws and less turnovers but the ladies are playing hard. Bears are working hard on defense!!
