Reporting live and direct from watching my lads in red go down hard to Baylor 65-49. Scott Drew had his boys ready to play. They outmuscled us on the boards and got their shooting working at a 54% clip.
Ade Dagunduro led NU with 18.
Now what to make of the Courtney Paris money-back guarantee. Well, it wasn't a guarantee to me. It struck me as more of a debt of honor and I respect it, however most people will not understand what underlies what she was saying.
What Sherri Coale has done to foster a tradition in OU women's basketball is something to emulate. Building a continuity from the Whaleys to the Caton Hills to the Parises to the Robinsons and Roethlisbergers of today and tomorrow. That is piece of building a pride in a program, and Courtney Paris claiming her piece of the responsibility of upholding that pride isn't boastful, it is very admirable.
But Ms. Courtney, this is a team game. It takes five to make it work.
About tomorrow? It's all about execution for my lasses and defense. The last time we played Kansas, the Jayhawks were crisp, we weren't. Catic played at a level that was higher than she has before. Our point guards weren't even close. If we pin everything on Cory Montgomery becoming Wonder Woman we lose. We have get in the game from the start, focus, finish and defend.
What a way to start the first day, with a rubber match that will intense.
