Game vs OU huge for keeping the momentum going

[uihawk82]

After two straight NC games and then a rough stretch when Olsen was injured some and a bit off in her game, the Lady Hawks are playing very well. Just two timely buckets and they would have been in the Big 10 Champ game, wow. Now, they looked very good in their first round game. Having Stulke, Ava, and AOG to give a ton of good minutes in the post, maybe having Hannah on the floor with Ava or AOG, and Olsen dealing and McCabe and others hitting treys can make this a tough team to beat.

How complete do you think this hawk team is now?

Playing a team with a true post presence will tell a lot. Will need to be hitting some three's an Lucy will need to shoot better. Its possible that Hannah/Ava can get Beers in some early foul trouble. Ok with 72 rebounds in yesterdays game. Thats an incredible number, and will need to compete there. (More Ava please). Still we've been getting it done on defense, so it should be a game.

We will have to rebound against OU. Get inside and get that big girl in foul trouble, that will be a big key

They shoot the 3 poorer than us, turn the ball over 3 times more, and their most dangerous shooter, is Verhulst who I would think will be guarded by Kylie.

Beer’s typical plays less than 30 minutes and in fact only averages 22 minutes a game. Making her numbers even more impressive, however, she can clearly be worn down.

This is a good matchup for us.

As Lute Olson said more than once on his postgame and TV shows the way to neutralize the Bigs is to play fast and make the Bigs play between the free throw lines. Push it and push it more, have to get Def rebounds, outlet and run
