Yes, they might not be quite as talented, but, really, the head coach is the problem. players regress under his system. it is time for him and his entire staff to leave the program. Players regress under this program, think about when Danae fritz, Lexi denarski, and Emily Ryan arrived - they were better as frosh than as experienced players. players never stay the same, they either improve or get worse. and, in this case, his players regress. Jamie Pollard - this is on you.

Just too slow and unathletic. Can't guard or rebound.
There are 2 players on this team that should be in the game 38 min each, joens and Ryan. otherwise, sub sub sub all you want, fennelly.

The calls are not consistent from the refs, that is the only part that gets me.

Some it gets frustrating with a team that could go far. Maybe that is to much of a homer.

I completely disagree about Ryan.. The only two that really deserve that many minutes are Joens and AJ (I'd be willing to listen to arguments about Harris though). Ryan is part of the issue on offense with her over dribbling and turnovers.

If it weren't for Ryan, this team would be down 30. unfortunately, she is still playing 50% of her ability because of this no-offense team.
Hard to win if you can’t make a wide open lay up
okay - if no one on this team ever shot the ball except Crooks, Brown, Ryan, Taylor and Joenes, they might win. The rest of the team - should NEVER shoot.

It's not to surprising because they are sisters by the way KJ wears the leg pads Ashley did and is one number from same number as Ash and it looks like Ashley is still out there.

I don't think Bill is happy with the officiating.

Problem is neither one scores consistently. That’s the biggest team problem we have right now

Every time I watch us in comparison to the top women’s teams, we are so much slower. That rebound a couple plays ago where the Okie State player ended up getting fouled - she was surrounded by 3 Cyclones including 2 who got hands on the ball. But they were so slow to react that she out-efforted them, and then got 2 FTs out of it. Those are the kinds of plays that are the reason we’re down 9 and why we lost to Iowa.

As I’m typing this, the same thing just happened on the last play.

It's because they know they'll never get the ball. AJ and Joens just sit around bored as our offense is dated and predictable.
Really? They both get the ball. AJ is like Ryan and refuses to shoot. Ryan…how I’d love to see her become a scorer…but is too inconsistent. The one thing she does bring is hustle, hustle, hustle

Complete overhaul needs to happen this offseason. We need a coach to start recruiting athletic gals. This is horrible.
