quit flappin your gums and START THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!

[AllAboutThe'O']

I'm in.
I've got the game on and I'm listening to the Oregon-Arizona football game on XM, so the Sooner men are the odd team out at the moment.

[TopDaugIn2000]

I've got the game on and switching to the FB game during commercials

[AllAboutThe'O']

It looks like our girls, our CP3 in particular, have come to play.

[TopDaugIn2000]

get thompson outta there


courtney seems a lot more aggressive than she did sunday

[TopDaugIn2000]

wow, 12-4. wish they could keep this up!

[AllAboutThe'O']

3-ball. It's now 12-4. I hope we can play like this for 33 more minutes.
It's 12-6 now.

[TopDaugIn2000]

ashley owned candace just then

[TopDaugIn2000]

dammit refs, let em play!

[AllAboutThe'O']

It would be a huge confidence boost if we can hang on with the lead at halftime.

[TopDaugIn2000]

crap. courtney just got called for her 3RD

[Cam]

crap. courtney just got called for her 3RD
Doesn't bode well for us.

[TopDaugIn2000]

NICE feed to robinson from jenna

[TopDaugIn2000]

jenna NAILS a 3

[TopDaugIn2000]

damn refs. we aren't gonna have anybody left!!!!!!!!!

[TopDaugIn2000]

well that was a craptastic ending to the half.

[SoonerBOI]

I don't have ESPNU, what's the score?

[TopDaugIn2000]

OU 29
TN 32
half

[Sooner24]

OU 29
TN 32
half



You are going to have to up your game if you want a job in play by play.

:pop:

[Cam]

Much better showing so far tonight. They better figure out a way to keep the intensity up cause I guarantee you Pat Summit's drilling her team right now. She was not a happy camper.

[TopDaugIn2000]

pat has MAJOR bags under her eyes. and she said "Okahoma"

[AllAboutThe'O']

pat has MAJOR bags under her eyes. and she said "Okahoma"
You sure her and Bruce Pearl aren't fooling around on the sly?

[AllAboutThe'O']

I honestly didn't think we would have a chance to hang with Tennessee going in. Glad they're proving me wrong. We can do this.

[Cam]

They're playing with a lot more energy tonight. They seem more mentally into it to me.

[TopDaugIn2000]

well, with the oregon/ariz debacle going on the football board is overloading the board. taking forever just to refresh, so I'm out. Will watch the rest in peace.

[tommieharris91]

I don't get ESPN U. I need updates!!!

[AllAboutThe'O']

OU down 48-47 with 13:28 left.

[Cam]

48-47 UT @ 13:28

I might get negged for this, but their CP3 is the best player in the country, bar none. Ain't nothing wrong with our CP3 being the 2nd best player in the country.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Tenn. up 50-47 with under 12 minutes left.

[AllAboutThe'O']

We're starting to miss a few shots. Tenn. now up 52-47.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Ashley now has 3 fouls. Tenn. up 55-50 at the 9-minute mark.

[Cam]

A lot of cheap fouls on both teams in this game.

55-52 UT. 8:57

[AllAboutThe'O']

Danielle Robinson already becoming an impressive player. OU now down 55-54.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Bobbitt has just been killing us all game. We're down 4 now.

[Cam]

Bobbitt & Parker = 45 points.

[AllAboutThe'O']

OU down 58-55 with over 6 minutes left.

[Cam]

This isn't the NBA, right? Could somebody tell Vining (sp) that she can step in a little to take her 3's.

[AllAboutThe'O']

That 3 may have been the dagger. We're down by 8 with over five minutes left.

[AllAboutThe'O']

This isn't the NBA, right? Could somebody tell Vining (sp) that she can step in a little to take her 3's.
Well, the 3-point lines in north central Arkansas go 25 feet.

[Cam]

I want to go to bed, but I want to see how this ends up.

Need to toughen up on D ladies.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Ashley just fouled out. OU down 63-57 at the 4-minute mark.

[AllAboutThe'O']

We're down 65-63 with over 2 minutes left. We've got a shot. We can do this.

[tommieharris91]

We're down 65-63 with over 2 minutes left. We've got a shot. We can do this.

Where did this come from?

[Cam]

65-65 under a minute.

Parker going to the line.

[AllAboutThe'O']

We rallied to tie it, then their CP3 hits a FT. We're down one with the ball with 50 seconds left.

[Cam]

If we could've made FT's earlier, we'd have this game wrapped up.

66-65 UT, 50.9 seconds left.

OU ball.

[AllAboutThe'O']

We regained the lead but gave it right back. But we're down 1 with 26 seconds left and we've got the ball. Just run it down and get a game-winning shot to go down.

[Cam]

68-67 UT

26.7 seconds left.

OU ball

[Cam]

Jump ball goes to Tenn with 3 seconds left.

Nice D by Tenn. We looked like a cluster though.

[Sooner_Bob]

Dang . . . that was a close one.

[Cam]

70-67 UT Final.

Missed FT's man...

[AllAboutThe'O']

Great effort, just wished we could have made a few more FT's.

But if we play with the same intensity the rest of the season, especially in the NCAAs, we just might get a rematch with them.

[TopDaugIn2000]

REALLY proud of our girls. a hard fought game and they showed GREAT improvement over sunday's performance. wow.

and robinson is da man!

[Ash]

Ditto what TDI2K posted.

[TopDaugIn2000]

I wonder what this will do to their ranking. I mean, losing to the #1 team by 3 points after a helluva fight can't really HURT them, but being 0-2 it will be hard to justify a good place in the polls. Guess they polls don't really matter though, March matters. Games like this can only help them be more prepared for March.

[badger]

Tough loss... We should have won a game like this, but I can't help think that we've got more upside than they do. How many true freshmen were we playing? They'll be different players come tourney time.

Sorry, girls! You'll get your wins, though!

[usmc-sooner]

I'm proud of the girls, played good against a great team. Free thows killed us, Thompson needs to dribble under more control.

[ouwapiti]

sherri, i luv ya......but thompson is killing ya

[badger]

Random thoughts:
Courtney Paris is faster than she was last year :)

However, she still struggles at the line :mad:

That Viking chick will make the boys go crazy :D

And Big Ben's lil sis, too ;)

Might Mouse once again proclaims "Here I come to save the day!" with awesome passing and long shots!

...however, she's short and doesn't match well with crazy blue chipper lady vols :mad:

Amanda Thompson needs to stop trying to take over a game by taking all these shots and across court passes that she shouldn't :mad::mad:

Ashley Paris and Abi Olaj...whatever Hakeem's last name is... they both are doing great a relieving CP3 when she's in foul trouble!

Stevenson gives us the speed that we sorely missed in last year's Ole Miss blunder. :):)

:mad::mad::mad:Final mad faces of the night: :mad::mad::mad:
MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS, GIRLS!
DON'T LOB PASSES INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE, OR THEY WILL BE INTERCEPTED!
Hey refs... if CP3, Tennessee version, is HOLDING, throw the flag and call the foul!

Shooting: :):):):mad::mad:
Analysis: We missed some open 3's and some easy lay-ups under the basket, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt... for now... because it's only the second game and it's versus the best program in the country.
Free throws: :):):mad::mad::mad:
Analysis: I cringe every time I hear another CP3 clank :(
Passing: :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Analysis: How many times did we see girls passing across the court directly into a Lady Vol's hand? 20? 30? In any event, this was gawd awful and needs to be correctly immediately.
Coaching: :):):):):mad:
Analysis: They hung with the best team in the country with the best coach in the country till the end and led most of the first half and parts of the second half. Definitely a credit to Coale's preparation! However, one must question the long ball passing turnovers that plagued the team.
Overall: :):):):mad::mad:
Analysis: It hurts when you've led a game most of the way, then lose by three. However, give it up for the Sooners for coming out strong early in a top matchup like this! Now... what is the football team's motto? Oh yeah... FINISH!
