Hebard can't get a clean shot tonight. Just seems she's rushing and forcing things.

I feel like she's going to get called each time she touches the ball, does't seem to be set right so far when she catches.greenyellow wrote:Hebard also needs to quit traveling so much as she has 3 turnovers already.

Ruthie isn’t a great leaper when healthy, so her at 80% she is going to struggle with the size of Baylor’s bigs.greenyellow wrote:Hebard can't get a clean shot tonight. Just seems she's rushing and forcing things.

I don't know if it's her injury, but I was noticing this last game as well. It reminds of me of when Flo Hartenstein would try to go one-on-one and his lack of vertical game really hindered him. A.D. Smith was a guy who knew how to get his shot of despite his lack of size and athleticism. Hebard typically plays like a Smith, but lately it's been like Flo.greenyellow wrote:Hebard can't get a clean shot tonight. Just seems she's rushing and forcing things.

Big four-point play by Ionescu gives Oregon a one-point lead entering halftime.

She certainly looks slower than I remember her ever being so it appears that injury has really zapped whatever athleticism she had. IIRC Graves said during the conference tournament that Ruthy wasn't going to be above 85-90% as long as they kept playing.AshlandDuck wrote:I don't know if it's her injury, but I was noticing this last game as well.

Yeah....that was....apparently not a foul...shoparound wrote:Surprised they didn't call a foul on brown hitting Ruthy there

It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Kinda rough, does not feel even to me....The Sabally 'Charge' was tough, Cox was no where near set and it was not even that kind of play....Didi Richards was not even touched and misses a layup and a foul is called on Sabrina....The bad pass by Sabrina was clearly a foul on Richards....Another 0 contact call gives Brown FT's.....yeesh...duckduckgoose wrote:Story of our year with the officiating.greenyellow wrote:Baylor is getting away with a lot of contact on the defensive end while Oregon doesn't.

Both teams have come out firing to start the half.

Not feeling good about this one. Baylor is just too big and Oregon isn't drawing fouls on them.

Baylor's size and physicality are definitely helping them down low against Oregon's defense. Ducks have to find a way to slow down Brown and Cox.
