Really good first half. 

Not a great end, though, as Cambridge picks Caffey's pocket and makes an easy deuce. 

Still -- we're up after 20 minutes. Need to avoid our third-quarter swoon. 

Ciezki and Beaumont carrying us. Need to get some other contributions.

Beaumont showing up this game. 

Nice to see. 

Yes, and she knows how to pick a spot on the window and score through contact which I hope our mens program picks up on in the very near future.

21 turnovers. 

Our work against the press is absolutely atrocious. 

Still, we're hanging in there ... down by 2 with 18 seconds left in the third.

Bit again by the third-quarter swoon. 

Up 10 at halftime. Extended that to 12 early in the third. Then ... 

I hate to say it, but I see O$U pulling away and winning easily. Hope I'm wrong.

3rd quarter has been a problem, however if you get run off the floor in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarter or a combination of all 4 quarters….they still get run off the floor.  Lack of stamina.

Ciezki fouls out at 4:43. 

Pretty weak call, IMO -- thought she held her ground. Very, very minimal contact if at all. 

Fouls and turnovers -- killing us again.

We had 26 turnovers resulting in 34 O$U points. 

The press is not new with the Bucknuts. Why, after all these years, can't we handle it? 

Perplexing. 

They took away the 3 from us. We were 9 for 13 in the first half; 2 for 4 in the second. 

We're in West Lafayette on Sunday. We've won 12 in a row over them -- I think that's the number anyhow. That streak very well could end. 

I enjoyed chatting w/myself this game. LOL!

13 actually. I think they beat us this time. They aren't good, but homecourt tilts it in their favor. We'll probably have at least one quarter scoring in single digits. 

 

One advantage we could have is that they're coming back from a west coast trip and teams sometimes struggle after that.

One glaring issue with the press is how slow the process was to take the ball out of bounds. They all just looked at the ball after it went in the basket and it was slow motion to get it to be inbounded. Over and over again. Ohio state had no trouble being completely set up. They dribbled into double teams over and over to get trapped. Weak passes. And they kept passing the ball into corners or moving backwards. I don’t know what the right answer for a lineup. You would think that the guards are quick enough to make pressing them difficult but the ball handling in general is just not very good
