Live-ish from Lafayette:
AP5 would be the best post player on most teams in America. On some days, she pushes her sister Courtney to be the best Sooner big; Sunday was such a day as OU outlasted ISU. Ashley Paris stepped up for Oklahoma while Courtney faced multiple Illinois State defenders and foul trouble. The Sooners are the type of team that could be really good (big low block presence and quick guards) or really not-as-good (posts can't run the floor well enough to help cover mistakes of young guards). Redbird junior Kristi Cirone lead all scorers with 22 points.
SMU had a horrible start; they had unforced turnovers and allowed ND countless o-boards. However, the Mustangs were able to put together a run to wake the Irish. Close to home, Ashley Barlow started big and finished with 20 & 12.
Utah got a rough seed, but that's life in the Mountain West. For the tough love pep talk- win your conference and guard the three late. If I remember correctly, ShonaThorburn, playing the role of Katie Smith in Detroit, would constantly ask Coach Elliott when Utah was going to get a real point guard. Leilani Mitchell was that pg; she confidently ran the offense and was smart in driving and dishing. In her last collegiate game, Mitchell had 14 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.
"I'm cheering for the Tulsa school."
"ORU?"
"Why, yes."
(Variations of that always crack me up)
Chasing the tip off, ORU's Marianna Camargo slid on one of Tennessee's cheerleading signs, injuring her knee, and returned to her team's bench on crutches. The Golden Eagles played an inspired first half to keep it respectable but couldn't answer Angie Bjorklund. The second CP3 show of the day was also abridged by foul trouble as Parker had 4 fouls in her 18 minutes. The Lady Vols against the 16 seed is typically ho-hum, so let's mention Geno. According to the Tribune, The issue has become an obsession for one ESPN reporter." According to me, that's a funny quote.
