Hard to believe but ORU Ladies may play less defense than our men. Shockers have hung up 50 on us in just the first half....😲

Disappointing 22 point loss last night for ORU in their home opener.....hopefully they can figure it out by the Summit League season opener....we seem to have some scoring talent but lack of D is disturbing.....😬

The lion's share (75%) of the minutes played this season have come from six players - four holdovers from last season and two transfers from Oklahoma State.  With a new coaching staff with a different system, mind-set, etc., it will definitely take awhile for this team to gel.  And, while they look forward to Summit play, the conference season begins on the road in South Dakota with SDSU and USD.  Ouch....

Omaha beat WSU this past Saturday. Even though on the women’s side, it really does come down to matchups. Saying all that, it’ll be an interesting season. It doesn’t help the schedule is absolutely brutal. There are really no gimmies besides the non-D1. The league is down this year besides the juggernaut, SDSU. Everyone else is playing for 2nd, but it’s up for grabs. Unfortunately, it could be a while before they see their first win. 
 

New Coach, style of play, and new team. They will figure things out.

It was mentioned by the powers-that-be when Coach Musick was hired that her style of play would remind fans of the ORU men.

Didn't realize that was in reference to the defensive end... #tooeasy  #sorrycouldnthelpmyself

Lol. Well in our league, everyone can shoot it. The good teams usually have 5 out there that can shoot it, but they’re bigger in all 5 spots as well. Western Illinois have been the “live by the 3, die by the 3” team for years. A few years back, they were really really dangerous. All 5 kids on the floor could shoot it and their defense was a dysfunctional zone that made players think instead of just play. It gave people fits. Well then everyone figured it out after two years of it and now they’re back to middle of the pack/lower tier of the league. But they still shoot a ton of 3s. They haven’t been top 3 in the league for quite some time. 
 

In this league you have to be able to score with the Dakota’s but also defend their size as well. It’s tough because they don’t grow them like that down here in OK.
