I haven't gotten to see them play this year but I know the Bill Fennley always has his team well coached in the fundamentals. What are our challenges and advantages in this game?
 
I'm surprised they are the #3 seed, they are probably the team I'd most want to face out of the top 5.

Hard to be too confident after barely getting by a pretty mediocre Missouri team, but we're definitely capable of taking this one.
 
I am quite nervous about this game tonight. We just don't know which UT team will show up to play.

Here's a shoulda, coulda, woulda moment...
I just keep thinking about the game last night and Earnie's double double. We needed that double double every game all season. But I'm glad she peaked last night. Now to get Carla back SHOOTING THE BALL and Lindsey dropping some shots down low.

OK Seniors - TAKE OVER AND WIN this game tonight!

perimeter defense will be key, because ISU likes to shoot 3s....a lot. they were 7-25 from BTA (almost 50% of their total shot attempts, 19-53 total) in the 1st game we played against them this season.
 
Just heard that Heather Ezell is questionable for ISU today. Apparently hurt her shooting hand in practice Wednesday. Ezell is their leading scorer averaging 12 points per game and a 36% 3-point shooter.
 
Hmmm...maybe the stars are aligned just perfectly to get us to the final. Did somebody pull out the voodoo doll?
 
Wieben is going to be tough inside. They have plenty of 3pt shooters to take up the slack if Ezell can't go. What she brings in leadership and toughness and she will be doing her best to inspire from the bench. I don't like playing teams that have just lost a top player. They tend to play outstanding to compensate. Horns will have to camp out at the 3pt line and our post players need to be alert inside because ISU does have an inside presence, it just gets overlooked because of their rep as 3pt shooters.

One more, Horns.

Seems like Carla is also questionable per the radio preview. Maybe each team will be missing a key player.

Coach G said Carla broke her index finger in three places.

They will make decision on whether she will play at gametime. If it was me, I would be zoned out on painkillers.

Didn't say or I missed it.Sounds like she will try to play, though. So I assume it's her non shooting hand.
 
OU's Hand was out with a hand injury. ISU's Ezell and Carla are questionable with hand injuries. Boy, BB is tough on the hands.
 
okay, confirmation on Carla. She will try to play and the broken index finger in on her non shooting hand which is already hurting with a thumb injury.
 
certainly ugly, but Horns keep hitting the board and getting more chances. A shot has to go in sometime.

What is it with Texas teams and NO ability to hit shots? Seems like this is a Texas thing. Used to think it was Jody's offense...obviously I don't know anything.
