Super impressed with handling the adversity. Coming back from 18 is very tough to do ; it’s one thing to get back in a game, it’s another to still have enough to hold off a late charge.
TvO and Mack with huge games and played confident. Jelena with a double-double. That was a lot of points to put up with not a lot of players contributing. It felt like they wanted their season on continue more in the clutch. Same can be said of UCLA, getting it done in 3OTs, they were on the ropes several times.

30-11 run... but, not really because of OSU defense. Lobos getbwide open looks almost every possession. They are stone cold, under 38%, and OSU playing smart, limiting turns. Back to a one possession game in 4th qtr should favor OSU's inside/out game?! But, with Lobos getting looks they'll have to stay cold. Every time the other team struggles to shoot, you say it's because they're getting wide-open looks but just missing shots. UNM was 4-for-25 on 3-pointers after the first quarter. You think defense might have had at least a little to do with that? Or did it get 25 open looks? You said the same thing about Long Beach (20-75, 10-27), and Portland (22-63, 8-26), and anyone else who has a poor shooting night. Opponents shot 36% overall and 31% on 3s vs. OSU this season. Amazing that all 31 teams had open looks but just couldn't shoot. And it looked to me as if TVO gave plenty of effort tonight. As usual. |

UNM ended up with 16 points in the paint, against OSU's 34. Their front line F/C players - McGruder, Reus and Anderson shot a combined 12-34. |

I love it when we win a close game and afterwards folks are all dyspeptic because we didn't win by a big enough margin - or didn't put the game away in the first half. Game Flow. Hover over or click image to enlarge.  Looking at UNM's season stats, they averaged 76.7 points per game. |

Never really a part of the game conversation until 20/20 hindsight sets in. Typically your style. I actually attend games, comment on what I observe. It's opinion, never claimed to be fact. And, the Lobos were wide open a ton. Pretty basic to see. They move the ball and bodies very well. As for TVO, her effort and demeanor was better. She played better and saw the court more because of it. Any more astute, after the fact nonsense you care to share? Kidding... no one really cares. But, as usual you come in and turn a positive thread negative. |

54% of UNM’s shots came from 3, with six players hitting at least one. That was the only chance they had to win - we didn’t have blocks because they didn’t go straight at us. However, they had a lot of contested shots, and a lot of their 3s late were low percentage type.
This is where Rueck’s love of size pays off; post players with position and length advantages don’t have their shooting percentages drop off as the game wears on.

OSU did a much better job contesting, but still far too many looks were without a hand near the shooter. I can see how they average 77 per. Nonstop, deep, versatile. Ellie mentioned UCLA being a different team than the one "we played" due to players coming back from injuries. Anyone have that breakdown? |

I haven't watched the game yet, but a few observations from this board and the box score.
Some of us would be much wiser to wait a few minutes before we post. The games are long enough that some post don't age well over the course of the game.
TVO with no assist??? TVO with no turnovers???
Ellie has really brought it the last half of the year. I'm glad she found out that she really could play in the Pac-12. I wish she had another year.
Speaking of another year, this game assures a 31st game for the Beavs this season (never thought they would get to 30). 31 games means Taylor Jones played less the 30% of her team's game this season, which means she could get a redshirt. Saying that, I think it's highly unlikely she sticks around another 3 years, but that possibility does exist.
The Beavs really need to find two scorers in the Portal this summer. Probably both guards, although one at SF would work too. I'm not sure how Greta and AJ would like the Beavs bringing in competition for their positions, but it needs to be done. Saying that, I think there is a real chance both AJ and Greta are much improved next season.

UP good midrange shooters. Getting open looks from three but don't look comfy, 1-11
Beach being great looks just not falling.
No need to look back further for more examples, you know they're there.
You might be the first poster to be generally disliked under three different handles.

I've never asked or been able to find it in literature. But, seems a bit inequitable as it seemingly punishes a player like TJ if their team didn't qualify for postseason play. |

Lol You dumbarse statement said mentioned every I believe. Which automatically makes you wrong. But, I am not seeing a mention of poor defense in those, just facts of watching the game. Is hyperbole your go to form of attempting to communicate? Try actual intelligent comments. But, I realize generic personal attacks in the midst of a positive WBB thread is less taxing on those that struggle in that area Stick with Reser construction posts or... |
