My significant other who is not a big basketball fan asks, "Why aren't they calling those moving screens?"

That's EXACTLY why I've been saying. I don't think they've been called for a single moving screen tonight.

i can't understand why kim is letting juicy continue to pass the ball to kalani... every other possession is a turnover.

In big games, our guards will go to the post come hell or high water even if the entry pass is not there. Not having guards who will make you pay in big games if you do not guard them has cost Kim a lot of NCs

Kim should have been in the refs ear all game about them. Then maybe we'd get one call.

Will have to play better to win next one. I think they will but our guards need to hit jumpers early if our next opponent wants to sag on our bigs all night.

I think if we keep Ionescu with less than 20 points in the game, we win. Their bench doesn't score much.

Let's go Lady Bears!!!

Hmmm.....Ionescu only scored 18 points!!!!

What a nail-biter tonight. Still mad about all of the moving screens and flops allowed by the refs for the Ducks. Oh well. Time to move on to the Championship game now.

We do and we don't. Oregon is a FAR better an outside shooting team than ND or UConn. We didn't attempt but 3 three-pointers all night because we were shooting almost 55% in the paint.

ND or UConn won't allow us that type of FG% but they also won't be near as accurate from 3pt range. It'll be a completely different game plan and game play.

We need better refs too. Ducks were allowed constant moving screens all night long and didn't get called on any of them. The flops were ridiculous as well.

That was almost 8 on 5 out there.... mail each ref a copy of the rule book marked to the moving screen section!
