Anyone watching this game?? Sophia Young and Courtney Paris putting on a show so far! Both with double-doubles already!!
42-39 Baylor w/ 14:34 left in the second half.

I have been all day! Its been an okay game. Some really weird calls. But the Sooners are on a comeback and down 1 WITHOUT Courtney Paris! Oh, and Sanchez has been money!

that was an amazing basketball game. Great plays, back and forth all the way down the stretch. Both Young and Paris were awesome. That was a fun one to watch!

Too bad she's not eligible next season. Noo Yahk sure could use a post player like her.

That was an incredibly fun game to watch.
Did anyone else notice that when regulation ended and the cameras panned to both coaches, Sheri Coale was laughing and really enjoying herself and KMR's darkened visage made her look like a total sour puss.

Courtney's free throw shooting has been one of her few weaknesses, and that continued today. In the final 30 seconds, Baylor had that in mind and fouled Courtney intentionally to stop the clock and put her at the line. She hit 2 clutch free throws that helped ice the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``Ashley these last few days has been telling me, 'Courtney, You're not clutch. You can't do anything clutch,''' Paris said. ``'You can't come down the court and shoot 3-pointers. You can't be my favorite player. My favorite player can do this, can do that.'
``Now I can tell her, 'Clutch free throws.'''

Now college wbb has one more thing to worry about. Not only is Courtney only a freshman. But now she perhaps has more confidence in her free throw shooting!

That was an awesome basketball game. Great crowd, we broke the record and were pretty loud, especially through the end of the second half.
I think if you were to actually go back and look at Courtney's FT shooting in the final 5 minutes or so of a game, you would see it's a lot different than those she shoots in the beginning of a game. For some reason, to know that she's been intentional fouled and put at the line pisses her off,,,,and she usually makes them.
I sure am glad I get to see Courtney play so much and 3 MORE YEARS!!
I thought Krista Sanchez was HUGE there in that stretch that Courtney was on the bench. Leah Rush played well there at the end prior to fouling out. Courtney kept telling Sherri Coale, "put me back in, I won't foul"...
fortunately, the rest of the team came through and kept the game within reach UNTIL Courtney could go back in. Good thing, she needed to be in there in the final 5 and the OT.

I remember the 96 final four when Nykesha Sales' semifinals buzzer-beater sent Tenn-UConn to OT. The Lady Vols seemed demoralized, and Pat really got in their faces: "Overtime is won by the mentally tougher team, and I don't like the looks on your faces!" Of course they went on to win the game, and the first of the next 3 rings.

Great great game. I was lucky and didn't get whipped around too much. Saw lots of great bbball.... This tourney is going to be VERRRRY interesting.

Courtney was GREAT, but I must say, the real hero of the game was none other than Krista Sanchez. If it had not been for her strong play off the bench we would not have won that game. I'm SO proud of our ladies, they played a tremendous game. Sophia was great but when it came down to it Courtney's supporting cast was superior to Sophia's.

WNBA GMs are already thinking, hmmmmm, how to stock-pile 2009 first round draft picks.

Well, PHX will have a lottery pick that year, so they're in luck at least.

Yeah, I loved the crowd. Second best at Lloyd Noble all year....men or women. Only the crowd for the OU-Texas men's game was that good.
I can say, without reservation, that it was the best basketball experience I've ever had live. Of course I'm only 22. This is why you go to basketball games.....this is why you ever cared at all.
I agree that Krista Sanchez was unbelievable. During that stretch with Courtney out with foul trouble, OU not only managed to tread water, but closed the gap. Sophia was dirty good, but OU just made a couple more plays down the stretch and in OT.
Can't say enough about Courtney's play. Games like this will only help OU's fan base grow and grow and grow.
Props to Baylor too.....anyone that thinks this team is done and won't be a factor is sadly mistaken.

Sanchez was HUGE for Oklahoma. There was a time, where Coale had so much confidence in her, that she had Brown, Moore, Sanchez, Rush and Paris on the floor. No Welch or Higgins!
Oklahoma is going to be tough to beat. Especially after what they showed tonight.

On Paris's size, though... what's amazing to me is how quick she is anyway. She is really pretty quick up and down the floor, and she didn't seem very tired yesterday either. It's uncanny.
