Shock Fans, We are excited to be back in BOK center for a few games. I can unpack my bags for a few days! Our team continues to improve with each and every practice and game. We are developing some great team chemistry and our captains are giving us outstanding leadership. I continue to be encouraged by the 11 ladies on this Tulsa Shock team.
Come on out and watch us play. We've got an exciting brand of basketball and we will continue to Play 2 Win!

Shock Fans,
We had the BOK center ' Shockin' last week. Great WNBA game with PHX and then our 1st home win against a strong Indiana team. The Fans provided us with a great 6th man feeling on the court! Our team continues to work hard in practice and they've been able to take their practice to the game!
Come early and stay late this Friday! Bring a friend! Just think, if everyone brought just "1" more fan to the game --just 1---we'll get the BOK center "Shockin"

Shock Fans,
Wow! What a great win for our Team, Staff and Orginization! We were able to hit some shots, took care of the basketball, and played good agressive D. And, all 11 members played a key role in the win. As I tell them, when you get in the game, give us lift--give us something positive!
We're back at home this week. Get out and get your tickets. Lets get the BOK Center---- "Shockin"

The Tulsa Shock Tipoff is just hours away. I can't believe how much progress we've made since April 25th. This team has come a long ways, and we're excited about playing in the SOLD out BOK Center. I must admit, making these last minute decisions on the make up of our 11 person Shock roster has been one of the toughest things I've ever had to do in my 40+ years of coaching. But, they have handled the situation with class. See you at the energized-sold out BOK Center on Saturday.

Shock Family and Friends, The Shock Basketball staff continues to be impressed by the energy and effort we see day in and day out at our Shock Preseason camp. We are excited to have almost all of our players in town. The players are picking our concepts and gaining a good feel for our system. The Ex-Game with Seattle gave us a good picture of where stand, and tells us where we need to go………….and because we’re Playing 2 Win, We’ll get there! See you at the BOK on Saturday, May 15!
Playin' 2 Win,

Shock Family and Friends, We've now had a few handful of practices. I continue to be impressed by how hard our team is practicing. The 15 members of our training camp roster are working as hard as any team I have ever coached. They are adjusting to our style of play! Our first game is just a couple weeks away....Hope you've got your tickets or you're making plans to call our Ticket office to secure your seats in The BOK!
Playin' 2 Win,

Greetings Shock fans! The Tulsa Shock basketball staff is extremely excited about our recent draft. We were able to draft Amanda Thompson from OU. An outstanding athlete, who knows how to WIN. For our second pick we were able to land Vivian Frieson from Top 15 ranked Gonzaga. In another Shock news, we traded for “3” pt shooter Shanna Crossley. We think she is one best outside shooters in the WNBA. Training camp is just around the corner. Our Shock ownership, administrators and bb staff are working round the clock to provide Shock fans with the best team possible. Rest assured, The Tulsa Shock are Playin’ 2 Win!
