Major pushoff by Ionescu. Not called


So bad that all 10 players stopped in their tracks.

Ionescu is also a punk

We got this. Ground the Ducks.

They can only beat us by nailing the threes. They cant beat us any other way.

I think the refs are only calling every other Duck foul. Getting tired of playing 5 on 8.

CKM is gonna be doing a jacket throw down for a Technical if that doesn't start to change.

Got to believe! Got them right where we want them. Run their legs off Lady Bears! Show them how to shoot the 3, Juicy! Dominate inside! .... and D, D, D.

If the Lady Bears offense can wear down the Ducks on defense, Oregon won't have fresh legs to make 3-point shots in the 4th Quarter. Keep pounding the paint, Lady Bears!

24 over the back. No call
24 over the back. No call
24 moving screen. No call

Rinse and repeat.

Was that shot by Cox not a foul on the Ducks?
Branch155

Need a rebound, please. Can't give them three opportunities

Another stupid foul. Think, ladies

ETA: Upon further review, a flop

Pretty bad when the announcers are even starting to mention the Ducks feeling just a small touch and drop to the floor hoping to call the foul. I feel like we're playing the Aggie floppers tonight. Unreal.
Branch155

Another flop by Ionescu
Yeek

So crazy with these after the shot calls.
Michibear

Ducking flops!

Flopping Ducks!

24 with reach around on KB before during and after the entry pass.
Branch155
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If we can't figure out how to guard their 3s, we won't win. Too many wide open
Jacques Strap
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We really need to hit free throws in Q4 an not turn it over.
Branch155
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Really surprised Ionescu didn't flop and get a foul call on that last shot
Jack Bauer
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ducks with 10 3- pointers.
Yeek
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep, surprised they didn't reward her with 4 free throws for that shot.
VaeBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Cox has been falling asleep on D and letting her man get open for the 3

And still a 1 point lead for us. Just need them to go cold for a couple minutes of the 4th and we will take it.

Hoping for the best. But this team seems faster than anything we have seen. They close the gaps before we can make a play. Need their threes to go cold.
Wichitabear

We need Moon in the game and time for DiDi to come back
Jack Bauer

Ionescu's Dad is 2x as annoying as she is.

That's a high risk strategy for the FInal Four. I sure hope we do what we can to get in their faces on the 3s
