She does look real good. I confess that when she gets really whacked in a game I will have my fingers crossed...every one of them...every time a whack occurs.

In that Texas game...the semi-final game...I absolutely remember Geno telling the team...trailing by about 9 with maybe 6 minutes to go...that if they had an open layup to shoot it. Otherwise make sure Dee touches the ball on every possession. And they did...a very close one at the end. I...

Especially pleasing was that the final win in both years was against LadyVol Herself...I think.

I think Napheesa...and...Paige...are 'safe' in the MVP conversation. Too many factors still to be determined to declare a winner...including missed games...how they play....and the play of several other excellent players.

Mod: thanks for moving this thread back to this page.

Nothing to do with recruiting. That's why I posted it on the regular board. It was moved to 'recruiting'... have no idea why.

Napheesa sprained her ankle in a recent game. She apparently has dodged a severe injury but will be missing 2 weeks [or more] of games. Getting her 100% for Minnesota's playoffs takes priority but I would think her absence for that long a period would harm her chances for the MVP...which has...

for the men and women....so says NCAA president Charlie Baker. They are looking at expansion in 2027.

Cameron did a fair imitation of Scottie Sheffler Sunday...winning by 6 in a walk. His first win on the PGA tour...has won a lot of money and challenged in Big events...this just might lead to many more. BTW: Megan Khang had a good tourney...tied for 6th. A nice check and some points added to...

Tournament is done. Yamashita wins by 2...11 under. Charley Hull made a serious run...got within one shot late but 2 bogeys ...back to back... shut her down. Yamashita made only one bogey...late... when it was pretty much over...her first major win. A few other scores: Lottie Woad...tied...

Rooting for Cameron as well. Our TonyC on the board played with him when Cameron was 11 or 12. 5 shot lead over second place....and 8 [Yikes!] over third place. Never won on the PGA tour...today should be his first

We have us a tournament! Yamashita missed a bunch of short putts....had a 74...leads by one with quite a few players closing the gap. Kim at 8 under...Lee at 7 under....several at 6 under including Charlie Hull and Megan...go Megan! Yamashita could easily have had a 70. I have had the...

Day 2 play is over. Yamashita leads...now 11 under...68-65. Takeda second...now 8 under. 3rd place is 4 under...pretty big margin to the lead. A big bunch at 10th...2 under par. Korda 70-72. Woad 72-70. Woad turned an excellent round into a good one...triple bogey on 16. Had been 5 under on...

Day One results: Japanese players had an excellent start: Okayama and Takeda [both from Japan] lead with 5 under 67. Several other Japanese players are in top 10. Weather was sunny...temperatures didn't seem to be much of a factor...there was significant wind. A few other scores: Nelly Korda...

Uhh...to coin a phrase...it is "non-negotiable" that the influx of Asian players has had a pronounced effect on the depth of quality on the LPGA tour. Many more players who are excellent and can win in any given week. A small sample of that is to take a look at the very early...
