Ugh. Was kind of expecting a deeper run for the women.

Blew a 15 point lead with under 9 minutes to go.

What a disappointing MAC season it was the the ladies. 12-6 and an early exit in the tourney may not seem all that bad but from what the expectations were after the last couple seasons and the OOC results, I never would have guessed this.

Pretty bummed for the women, they just let it slip in the end. Honestly, it was just a heartbreaking way to go out. Kudos to NIU, they stuck with it. Here's hopes for a good run in the WNIT.

Tough year in general for OU's women's sports. Might be the first year in 15 years without a conference regular season or tournament title in at least one sport. Women's swimming hasn't been the same since the men's team was cut.

That was bad. 2 3 zone looked like a stroke of genius. IN reality we just passed the ball around the perimeter. As the zone extended with no penetration it got harder to shoot over defenders.....and we still did not punch the zone. It was not like a swarming, shifting, stifling thing. We just passed around the horn and did not force the 2 3 to actually move off of their spots. There were entire possessions where the D maybe moved in a 3 foot box if they moved at all.

Sad. Athletes and Coaches just did not get it done.

Any chance for post-season play?

How does the recruiting class look for next year? A lot of big holes to fill with departing senior class.
