Washington or Oklahoma?

[CadaverDawg]

Who do we want the women to face in the Sweet 16? The #6 seed Oklahoma in their home state, or the #3 seed Washington with the All Time WBK scorer on their team?

Oklahoma is 23-9 and ranked 19th in the nation. Of their 9 losses, they lost twice to #2 Baylor (by 34 points and by 39 points), split with #12 Texas (losing by 18 points and winning by 1 point) and lost to #17 Kentucky by 14 points. The only common opponents are Texas, whom we beat earlier in the year 79-68, and Kentucky (who we lost to by 3 points).

At 28-5, Washington has beaten #25 Mizzou 79-66, while losing to #2 Notre Dame 71-60 early in the year. They split with Oregon on the year (winning by 22 points and losing by 1). Two common opponents are Mizzou (who we beat by 17 points) and Oregon, who we beat earlier in by 12 points.

With our strength being the inside game, Washington appears to have more height (and success) than OU with three players (6’2” Chantel Osahor getting 16 points and 15 rebounds per game, 6’5” Deja Strother (3.3pts, 2.7reb) and 6’3” Katie Collier (6.5pts, 5.1reb) manning the post, not to mention guard Kelsie Plum who leads the nation in scoring at 31+ points per game. Oklahoma appears to only have a 6’4” center who has garnered any significant minutes and averages 12.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per game as they are more guard-centric.

I think I’d rather play OU despite the Oklahoma City home court advantage because Plum could go off causing us fits on the perimeter while the Huskie post players could easily negate any advantage we might have with McCowan, Okorie, Richardson & Chapel.

Rather take our chances with OU

I want to shut down the Huskies. LET'S GO!!!

I'm going with if we are as good as we think we are, it shouldn't matter in the Sweet Sixteen game.

The regional finals are a different story.

I wish we could beat both so whichever we get is fine with me.

The Big 12 tournament was held in the same arena and Oklahoma lost their only game by 24. If we play as well as we have the last two games we should beat either team but I say go with the lower seed almost all of the time.

I agree with your points, excellent post. We need to take advantage of our Big Girls. We play through the post like we did this weekend, I don't think anybody can stop us.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to WSOPdawg again.
