2023 Women’s NCAA Tournament

I don't know what happened to Mika's shot but teams are just letting her have them now. Feel bad for her. Has to be frustrating.

Hope the next one goes down, at least to force them to come out on her. She's going to have more minutes tonight against Lurchette.

Finally called 3 seconds on Lurchette.

Bucks are shooting 69% and trail by a point. Going to need more stops/turnovers on defense because that shooting isn't likely to last.

It's like we're playing the Italian soccer team!

 

[Jake]

McGuff backed off the pressure citing players being tired and beat up, but I'm guessing he's saving some for the second half.

Bucks have 45 points at halftime and trail. Need to turn up the defense, and I'm sure he knows this.

Well Mikesell is officially more than potato chips. Girl is on fire. Hoping we can rally in the second half.

Soule is the lead flop artist

Soule is the lead flop artist

Soule got a lot of calls with her shoulder in the first half.

 

[Jake]

Half court battle doesn't favor OSU. Va Tech struggled vs Miami's late press. They broke ours early but you have to make them prove they can keep doing it.

 

[Jake]

Mika just can't buy one. She's missed her last 11 three point attempts.

 

[Jake]

Just Thierry's second bucket. Hope she can get it going.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

They are looking tired out there.

They are looking tired out there.

Probably why they aren't pressing. Pressing the crap out of UConn with 6 players two days ago seems to have taken a toll.

This is going to be difficult to pull out at this pace.

This feels negative at the moment. We can't lose our energy and definitely need to mix in the trapping Defense
