I am really bored and tired of the namby-pamby non-conference schedule OSU rolls out year after year. Rolling up the score and compiling wins against a plethora of weak opponents proves nothing. It is not testing-teaching the players how to play tough and stay cool under pressure nor challenging them to maximize their intensity, effort, and focus. Compare OSU's weak schedule to the schedules of Stanford, South Carolina, UCONN, etc. Yes, OSU would have to leave the friendly confines of Gill and travel east a few more times, but it would be worth it...games with real meaning and better national recognition and publicity. Two of OSU’s four games were tied around the two minute mark. Just because they weren’t two big name schools doesn’t mean the team wasn’t taught to “play tough and stay cool under pressure nor challenging them to maximize their intensity, effort, and focus” (especially considering one of those wins included a massive comeback). After Weber State, the competition definitely should start to get a little better. |

Next up might as well be the "Fightin' Slo-Moes" of Northern SE Cockadoodledoo county Louisiana Don’t bother watching. It will only make you upset. I’m sure you have many more exciting free entertainment options |

It was good to hear Talia say that in pac12 play she is going to have to score more. Also that she feels some of the same magic with Donovyn that she had with Aleah. |

Year after year? Admittedly, not much this year, but last year we played we played Iowa, LSU (the 2 teams that happened to play for the national championship) and Duke. Year before we played Michigan, Notre Dame, and Villanova. That ain't chopped liver. |

What did going undefeated last NC vs the little sisters give us? Yep a solid 4-14 Pac12 record. This NC schedule is even weaker. What will 9-2, 10-1, 11-0 do for this team in Pac12 play? OSU had a net last year of around 54 because the Pac12 had like (8) teams with NET ratings at 30 "ish" or below. This current NC is probably at a 250+ SOS and will get worse as some teams continue to flounder. With such a weak NC schedule OSU will have to be 9-9?? At least to be consider for the "real" tourney. |

So let me get this straight, we're going to have to win a majority of our conference games to earn an NCAA tournament invite? Got it. Isn't that kind of the way it's supposed to work? Has this team ever gotten an NCAA bid with a losing conference record? I don't believe so. |

Has this team ever gotten an NCAA bid with a losing conference record? I don't believe so. Maybe do a bit of research. Losing conference record and post season berths happen almost every year(ok... a lot!)... football & hoops. Conversely, with stronger NC slate and the high NET rating of the Pac12, OSU might get on with an 8-10, or 7-11 mark with decent Pac12 tourney. |

Just saying, OSU WBB has never gotten an at large NCAA bid with a losing conference record. |

It somehow makes a difference if we schedule them directly or a tournament does it? We agreed to play those 6 teams, period. Perhaps the reason we're not in any major tournament this year is our lousy record last year; I have no idea. But, over the years, Scott has certainly scheduled his share of top opponents - the US Olympic team comes to mind. p.s. Did you really LOL when you read my post? Was it a big belly laugh or more like a short grin and chuckle? Do you think I might have a future as a comedy writer? |

Basically OSU is not scheduling top flight opponents on their own. IF... a tourney they happen to be in gets such a team is seemingly the only way. At least the last few years. I'd rather view games (even losses like LSU, Iowa, etc) and see how our talent stacks up getting beat by a couple three top 20-30 type teams. Versus playing 7,8+ Quad 4 opponents. Competition vs quality talent, in practice and in games is the only way to truly develop talent for Pac12 competition. |

SR hinted that he tried to get better teams lined up this year and they declined. Losing record last year and the chance that the Beav's will be better this year leave it a lose lose situation for the good teams.
