Oklahoma!

[filbert]

Oklahoma's losses:

Georgia
Notre Dame
Tennessee
Baylor
Iowa State
Texas
Connecticut
Nebraska
Texas A&M
Texas A&M

Georgia is probably the weakest in that list. All are top 25 teams.

Beating Oklahoma will not be easy, but from what I saw in person at the Big 12 championship game, they can be beaten. They went stone cold for a big part of the second half of that game--couldn't hit a thing. Don't want to count on that happening on their home court, of course.

Oklahoma!

And the answer to the inevitable question: Yes, she's the little sister of the Steelers quarterback . . .

And yes, she's the daughter of Hakeem Olajuwon . . .

How do they play defense?

As in on the court, or in the courtroom?.....sorry, couldn't resist

...just a jab at the Roethlisberger's, no one else.

Maybe Ben and Hakeem will be there.

We're going. 10 hour drive from Yankton. I've done it, it isn't bad.

Tickets are the next issue. Then, get a hotel. Prefer to stay in the same place as the team if possible. Planning to bring the whole family.

Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

Thought's on what our strategy should be? ( other then score more points then the other team...)

Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

I think they'll be cautiously aware of our scoring potential,just as we should figure on stepping up the defense a notch.

I like how our defense has been playing lately, so we need to keep that up, but if we are going to pull of the upset, Jill Young is going to have to show up for this game. I don't see us winning if she can't get out of her slump that persisted throughout the Summit League Tournament. Kristen will also probably need to shoot as well or better for us to have a chance.

Oh yah, and our bugaboo, "the turnover", has to make limited appearances as well.

Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

Wonder how deep we can go on the bench,sure glad we got the bench a lot of playing time this year.

I understand the Steelers use a 4-3 . . .

[jackdaniel]

Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

If the games tied with just seconds left,remember that the big 12 has speedsters who can go full court in about 3 sec.

Seriously, though, as long as they don't play that trapping zone crap, SDSU has as good a shot as anyone and better than most.....
