Happy for KK and for Niele. Hopefully the current boot situation isn't long-term and heals relatively fast. She could use a summer of health and growth. She lost some of her explosiveness from her freshman year. I'm sure she'd like to get back to that, and develop a more consistent shot. If she...
Chicago seems to have interior defense on lock. E. Williams and Turner are tested defenders, and dressing Cardoso and Reese bolsters that. There isn't much offense from their post players though, and even less versatility. I think that helps Reese a lot.
I thought Gilbert was having issues on the defensive side of the ball? And that was why Barnes started playing her less. Mulkey likes a defensive PG too, so hopefully she'll be able to get that corrected.
This thread is very interesting. A lot of salty UConn posters. I'll start by saying this, I agree that Caitlin Clark is changing the game.
She is changing the popularity of WBB. All those record shattering viewing numbers, a huge majority of those can be attributed to her. Many of the most...
Everyone keeps hyping Jana. Why do people think she's going to come in and dominate? The college game is difficult and physical for posts. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a season like Ice Brady's freshman season. I think UConn's starting lineup will be: Brady, Strong, Shade, Arnold, and...
I was thinking. What if Scott Rueck is Stanford's next coach? Or who do we think can be their next coach? Because that is going to have huge transfer portal implications
Not an insider, but an ND fan. Niele needs a 3&D type player at the 2. Niele prefers having a 3-point threat as the starter, even if they are undersized (Mabrey and DeWolfe). That's why she never got the starting nod over either of them. With Miles coming back, she would spend another season...
I had UConn coming out of this bracket to go to the FF. USC was a very suspicious number 1 seed IMO, and it stems from Gottlieb. This game their offense seemed like it was just hero ball. Deb Antonelli was saying a lot of ideas that she thought USC needed to do. I don't think any of those...
I believe Hannah said that she asked an official before the game if she could cover it up. She got permission to cover it, but at the start of the second quarter they made her take it out.
Oregon State won the game in the closing minutes when they hit those two 3 pointers, and then TVO blocked a Citron 3. ND was applying pressure and forcing TOs (although quite a few unforced by Oregon State). That's what kept them in the game. Citron and Westbeld battled hard, and the other...
Proud of ND. That 10 game win streak was remarkable and they played great basketball. ND took a huge step forward with their defense this season. I think their offense also looked great during that stretch. Before that 10 games I couldn't envision the turnaround.
Jackie Young has been one of the best guards in the W the past couple of seasons. Especially now that she added a 3 point shot. Plus she's a really solid defender. I hope she can finally secure a spot, but it will be tough.
I am super proud of the Irish and how they are playing. From not being included in either of the top 16 reveals to earning a 2 seed. ND really turned a corner after the NC State loss. Their offense started added more looks. I think Citron getting healthy and cutting like her usual self really...
The gameplan in that UCLA game was to slow down Betts and crowd her. UCLA's guard beat UConn because that's what Geno was giving up to swarm Betts. He wasn't banking on them shooting so well.
I've felt similar regarding KLS. I'm not going to get into if she deserves her money or not, but I don't think she's been a great pro yet. She's been underwhelming, and I wasn't that impressed with the signing. I'm going to be watching the Fever closely this summer, I hope they have a great...
I can see Sarah Strong at UConn. UConn plays an offense that takes advantage of her skillset, and Geno can always adjust it too. Kara Lawson has been a good defensive coach, but offensively has struggled. UNC coach, umm.
I think she's heading to UConn. She will have really good teammates to...
The Irish offense has looked great, I have also noticed the back door cuts and passing improvements. I noticed it in the Duke game in the 3rd quarter. They have been getting the ball into the high post and letting that player make a decision. Soni's having success cutting and they are finding...
Notre Dame doesn't have any roster challenges at her position. Even if Marshall, Westbeld, and Watson all come back, they could take her. Koval is coming of course. I am going to assume Watson is for sure coming back because she isn't being honored in Senior Night tonight, according to media ND...
Really good game. I really liked the pick and roll action in the third quarter as well as the defensive intensity. Rebounding improved as well. KK was big in the 2nd half. I thought her decision making and passing were stellar.
Timea Gardiner is a really fun player to watch. She has so much game on the offensive side. She's been stepping up and scoring at a higher rate and more consistently. She has a pro's game with the way she operates in the low post with her footwork and face up jumpshots. She makes in look so...
