Great comments from Baranczyk about the Hilton crowd:

“Well, we faced some Hilton Magic today,” head coach Jennie Baranczyk said. “They were obviously very good from the 3-point line. There are some moments that I'm really proud of and other moments that we've got to continue to get better.

“But we know that this is an incredible place to play and it is a standard for women's basketball in terms of atmosphere. It's an atmosphere we want to build in Norman, to be honest.”

Must be quite an interesting team to score 42 in 4th qtr and still lose to Iowa.
They were ranked 5/6 when they had a COVID pause. They came back and lost to Michigan. They have lost to Stanford, NC State, Michigan, Nebraska, and Iowa. The Nebraska loss is their only bad loss. I think their post player may have still been out with injury.

Holmes missed 8 games, including the losses at Michigan and at Nebraska. She's played less than 25 minutes in each of the two games since returning.

In a normal game, these would be the huge, big, number one takeaways...but the whole game was big-time so these are great "icing on the cake" type fun (though incredible in preparation, execution, and a bit of Hilton Magic luck).

Would have been nice to get the foul calls v Texas the KSU got last night. What a difference. Any time Texas only has ten fouls called they have been gifted. Last night…22

Well scanned the scores doesn't look like we got any help from anyone last night. Everyone you would have thought would have won did.

Wish the women and men could play at different game times. Feels like there has been many games at the same time this year. Good luck to the gals today.

Ok…this is frustrating. Latest AP poll comes out and Iowa is rated ahead of the sisters. Iowa plays in the weakest P5 conference in the country which is feeding upon itself and gets bumped into the top ten. What a joke. Fortunately the poll really doesn’t matter. But still…it’s like the hype machine for Clark and Co. Is in overdrive. Rant over….

Iowa and the big 10 have marketed Clark quite effectively. It matters. Plus, they are on quite a roll. BTW - I dislike them as much as anybody.
