Warren is the best percentage 3 pt shooter on the team. You know ISU is going to try to force Texas to make shots from the outside.
I'm glad Taylor is back because we need her to guard Ashley Jones. Iowa State can't compete with Collier in the paint so expect a zone with a double team on Collier coming. My impact players are going to be Joanne, Collier, and Gaston.
We've seen this movie before. They're going to play exactly like they did when Aston was the coach. And if Texas can't make shots from the perimeter it's going to be a long day.
I would consider pulling Collier out to the 3 point line and let Gaston go to work down low or have guards slashing to the basket.
Didn’t we BEAT them last year at Ames..?? The home loss was regrettable, but I think we can sweep them this year!! Go, Charli and Celeste!!
Yal are some negative people and we will be fine as long as they follow VS game plan. At full strength this team is tough to deal with but with Collier being dominate, Joann being a timely tough scorer, kyra and Ashley being stingy defensively, Deyona coming along, Holle rebounding and toughness despite some freshman mishaps and Karisma cont to be a steady post feeding machine we will be ok and in any game we play
Nobody said anything negative thus far. All anyone said is we need to be on point because Iowa State is no run through game. Everyone in here believes we can & should win it's just more of what needs to be done in order to win.
ZONE ZONE ZONE! We must learn how to manage a zone. They're just sitting in the paint. 3 cyclones in paint. And then on offense they're cutting and slashing to the basket. Come on longhorns figure this out and fight thru this.
This is where we need Warren. She is the only player I have seen so far that will attack the zone. Joanne can do it with ease but holds back a bit. Warren in the high post is what Texas is missing due to her basketball IQ. We are going to have to figure something out because this zone is not a good one
Announcers keep praising Iowa’s big girl Jones and criticizing Charli. NEWS FLASH: They both have 6 points!!!!!!
I don’t like our 30-something shooting percentage, but I do like only 4 turnovers. I agree that absence of Warren really hurts.
A bit disappointed our guards are not better shooters and we still haven't figured out the zone this deep into the season. Our D is going to be something special once Vic gets all the athletes he needs. It's pretty danged good already.
Just like many other ISU games. Fennelly's good coaching, great use of the zone and spreading the floor on offense, versus our pressure defense and grab bag offense. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Vic is essentially another Jody and Karen, though I love the new energy and enthusiasm he has brought to the program. If Warren was playing, we would probably be having a little bit easier time. Gaston is so impressive, and I love Chevalier. Hope she can develop her shooting more. I wish Charli would learn to use the backboard more. You don't have to be nearly as precise. So many players, male and female, underuse the backboard.
I haven't seen the team that much this year. If Lambert and Ortiz can play like that every game, we are in business.
Great win and loved the outside game but shooting 50% from the line is not good. You will lose some important games when you shoot like that from the line. Should never happen. Really great win!
