If we can't figure out how to guard their 3s, we won't win. Too many wide open
Got one quarter left to figure it out. It almost looks like at times we've got 3 playing zone and 2 playing man to man. Gotta quit standing like a frozen popsicle and take the 4th.

Because we are shooting 55% on FG%

Juicy and Chloe neutralized, and they've taken away our transition game. Throw in missed free throws, and that's the difference.

I had no idea that U Oregon had such a good drama department. I mean, the acting by the Ducks in this game!

It should be, considering we aren't within 5 feet of most of the shooters

Do we know which conference these refs are from? They clearly have their bets on the Ducks.

They move the ball very well but are getting away with murder on the moving screens. We can't trade 2's for 3's

hope the baylor guards start making some good decisions on offense and defense. cox and kalani can't do it all.

All week long I wanted to post how much it bothered me that everything I heard, from CKM on down, was, We just wanted to make the FF," or, "We wanted Kalani to get to the FF, to have the FF on her resume." We're playing like it.
