Texas Tech/OSU

[elfdenmom]

Well Tech pulled it out, but OSU played a tremendous game both offensively and defensively. Their defense was great, and Tech had to struggle for every shot until the last five or six minutes when Jia went on a tear...blocking shots, making steals and scoring on breakaway layups. I thought OSU did a super job of moving the ball and finding the open player. Made at least two at the buzzer.

Jolee had a wonderful game. Played good defense and took it strong to the basket all night.

Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that the Big 12 is on a BIG mission to propel at least one team to the Final Four this year?

And what about the Million Fan March? I haven't heard word one from anywhere about this one. Are we the only ones who care?

Skibee only had 3 pts. in the second half! That's credit to Jolee. She did an amazing job on defense tonight. What can I say about Jia? They say that AA's can take a game into their hands and get their team up when they are struggling. Dare I say that Jia will be Tech's next AA?

Natalie also played a terrific game...she out rebounded Jolee. OSU has a good team. They are well coached and hard workers. Hutchens in particular caught my attention..she made some tough baskets to keep it close.

But Jia, Jia, Jia...the magic of Jia Perkins!

Tech gutted this one out...life everyday in the Big 12

I thought the officiating was weird on both sides and it did cramp the flow of the game...it wasn't the number of fouls but the type of fouls that were called. Knock either other around in the paint with no call and then have a touch outside the lane and it's a foul. Weird stuff...but I didn't think it hurt one team more than another.
