I don't think anyone would argue that we're not playing our best basketball right now heading into the tournament. Teams are realizing they can pound us inside and take away our jump shooters when we have the ball.

Granted, I'll take 26-3 and 15-1 any day. But we have no margin for error here. Lose and we probably end up in the WNIT. We came up short last year even with kate's leadership. Hope this team has grown up enough to tough out three more victories in Cleveland.

Yeah, we could be playing a lot better than what we are right now. We really need to establish some kind of inside game that other teams have to respect night in and night out, something we really haven't done ever. We've always had really good outside shooters and when they're on , we extremely tough to beat. That's why I like seeing Zuercher play more and hope she and Geise get some time as well to absorb the bad foul here and there so Breske isn't exposed to being fouled out in close tough games. With Slagle out with her knee injury(not sure for how long) we'll have to shuffle some players around a little. Maybe even Vickie McGowan will get some more PT.

OU's athletic bigs really exposed us in the rebounding dept. big time. We've got to get better at boxing out and getting rebounds or we will have a very tough time winning the Mac Tourney.
