Cripple shots? Welcome to Cancelville! As far as I can see you’re the only one complaining. [br I’ll tell my friend in a wheelchair that you’re good with that saying. Jerkoff |

What in the hell is a cripple shot? A point blank shot. Sometimes they're called (another name for rabbits) for some reason. |

I’ve heard easy shots as easy shots term before, but never that second one. I think Mulkey should get some credit for the misses, but it’s one of the things that make Taylor so valuable. She doesn’t miss those. |

If you took offense to the term why didn’t you simply say so, instead of talking obliquely about “Cancelville”? You’re too clever for your own good. |

I thought most of us knew this team was limited offensively. Although we can expect improvement, I wouldn't expect a lot this season unless Greta gets hot, or Emily returns to her pre-injury form, or one of the other players step up. The previous two games, Taya was hot in one, and Ellie was hot in the other. Both games were close. This teams' wins will need to come from defense, which they can be very good at if they keep it up. Obviously the return of Taylor would help, but even she does not create offense.
I'm definitely concerned about playing teams that have a couple really good offensive players, especially road games. I have no idea how this season will turn out, but I'm hoping for the best and still believing the future beyond this season looks bright.

Just got through watching the game. What a defensive battle. UW played a really good game, reminded me of how we play. They forced us to take uncomfortable shots. We did the same to them. The difference is we have had Rueck for 12 years and their coach is in the first year. KBF landed in a program that is very familiar to her.
I really liked to see a game that was played very cleanly. Neither team resorted to a hack attack. The refs could just let the game go.
Taya continues to be the leader of the team now it is on both ends of the court. She really leads by example. She quietly takes one of the other teams better players out of the game. And now she is playing with confidence on the offensive, making shots when we need them.
Kennedy's defense is getting really good, it was nice to see her not foul. She has always been good on that end of the court but she is improving every game. I keep hoping that her shot will come.
I like Talia's game, she is a real ball hawk. Her ability to rebound reminds me of Mik. She gets herself to where the ball is going to be and then it's strong enough to not get pushed off her spot. Talia is able to find a way to put points on the board, she has a way of getting the ball to the player in position to score. This will get better as the team plays together. Our of that doesn't work she had no issue with putting a shot up herself. And then there is her free throws, pretty good percentage.
The other two freshmen wings are, well, freshmen. They will get better. Greta is a good defender and will eventually find her shot. The game is still fast for both of these players, it will slow down and when it does they are going to be a fun trio, have to add Talia, to watch.
Ellie had an ok game. Jelena is no longer a liability to have on the court, the game is coming to her. Téa is providing us with solid minutes at the point.

Wow we really made it hard. Not very good offense . Not very exciting. I think Washington may have 5 points in 4 th quarter. We were not much better. Should have won much more comfortably. Get some offense. 30 percent is not entertaining. We certainly are far from being a good smooth team. 46-41 better than a loss but not good enough to keep folks or bring in new fans. 47-41 victory on the road in PAC-12 is a whole lot better than a loss.....and is good enough to " keep" me. PAC-12 road is a killer. Two days ago, with 7:37 left in the game, Huskies actually had a lead on the women's team from Eugene. Everyone keeps inferring that Washington is a a real bad team. They hung with Fucla and are not the worst team in the Pac-12.
You apparently have not seen CAL.

UW plays tough defense and has stayed with other teams, but let's be honest: The Beavers have two McDonald's All Americans and three other five star recruits. The lack of offense points directly at SR and his philosophy. These are not athletes that are suddenly unskilled on the offensive end.

The lack of offense points directly at SR and his philosophy. These are not athletes that are suddenly unskilled on the offensive end. We were among the best offensive teams in the Pac-12 last year (No. 3 in PPG, No. 2 in FG%, No. 1 in 3FG%, and No. 2 in APG). I think it's just as much about our personnel as it is about Rueck's philosophy. Rueck landed one impactful guard in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 classes combined (Goforth) and she's no longer with the program. That was a major problem and has resulted in OSU relying on entirely on freshman and mid-major transfers on the perimeter which has translated to our offense taking a major step back from the 20-21 season (losing the player who currently ranks No. 4 in FG% hasn't helped either). While Adams has done a solid job of stepping in and running the show, she's not on the level of Wiese, Pivec, Slocum, or Goodman. The last time OSU wasn't in the top-two in the PAC-12 in FG% was 16-17, and we're currently No. 7. This team hasn't been efficient scoring the basketball in the half court like OSU fans have been accustomed to seeing over the past few seasons. |

It seems odd to me. The Beav's lost a close game to a top-10 team and then won two games, including beating a ranked team, but you'd think they were on a losing streak from the comments here.
OSU is 7th in defending points/scoring attempt, 1st in defending rebounding rate, 3rd in blocking rate, and 9th in fouling rate. This is a very good defending team. To be wailing about how they aren't kicking ass on offense seems....absurd. And then to insist that they won't get any better on offense? After the first 10-12 games the defense is usually going to be whatever it is. But the offense takes swings all season long and there is no reason to assume that what we saw in this game is what it will be for the rest of the season.
Another odd thing. Talia drives for the layup and see's 5 defenders waiting for her and thinks "huh, bet there's someone open at the three behind me". Stops and passes to the person open behind her for the open three. Tea drives for the layup and see's 5 defenders waiting for her and thinks "huh, they think they can stop ME" and keeps going and ends up tossing the ball in the air with no hope for a basket. Weird.
I think the only real advantage that Tea has over Talia is that when a simple pass will to the job she makes the simple pass while Talia tends to try for snazzy passes when it's not needed.
It's interesting that Brown took as many shots as the next two highest combined. Guess Rueck figures that Jones is gone for a while and he needs find someone else to take up that scoring slack. Lets hope that Brown gets her mid range shot down.
