CW and CD have monster games after MM allowed last year's physical abuse of these players. I see CW going back on defense and staring down MM continuously after big buckets.
Huskies win 90 to 75.
Five teams screwed themselves by passing on Colier. I'm happy the Lynx got her though. I like coach Reeves and the Lynx. Hopefully Maya returns to them next year in high spirits.
It came down to defense and rebounds. ND did not allow UConn to score and UConn allowed ND to score. Sometimes you really need to chase down a rebound. They won't all just fall into your hands.
I would agree that wcbb officials have been very strange in general. This can't be by mistake. I dread watching an ND matchup. ND has asterisks all over there record.
Collier is forced to play as a center because no one else on the team is a badass down there. This won't be her role under trader Bill. He will use her offensive mastery in many other ways. Why can't Lou finger roll. She always goes into a jump shot posture when she drives to the rim and gets...
Collier has such a nice touch from mid-range and so many pro moves to the hoop. She will leave the big girl dazed in the WNBD. Her weak spot is defending the big girl but that is not what trader Bill will have her doing. He can rely on her just about anywhere else.
Maybe Geno knows something about Lou's mentally that we don't. Pulling her would tear at her confidence and would take time and effort to rebuild it which is more fragile than Stewart's mindset. Geno feels he needs to keep working her full time to fix the issue and the issue needs fixing to win...
I believe pro scouts have especially keen eyes on Collier. This versatile talent can easily dominant offensively and defensively. Many times, coach needs her to defend the big because only she can provide this complete coverage. But this sometimes costs her fouls and her incredible offensive...
This all hinges on Collier stopping McCowan and Brown in the low post. In general, if she can stop these dominate low post teams and still perform like the offensive monster she has been, then it's pretty obvious who should win POY. If this doesn't happen, then the flood gates will open down low...
Maya has put it on the line in every game from the WNBA to China and the olympics since college. Throughout, she has sacrificed her body in so many ways on the court. She never pouts or has tantrums with the refs. She just wins. Now, with a mediocre season, Lobo and all the other talking heads...
I get the concept of competition and businesses following the money. But when you allow a government entity to use the people's money to pay the rent, that's similar to section 8 and corporate welfare. In my mind, that's not in the true spirit of free market. And not every citizen appreciates...
Let's be honest and fair. Men's sports are not living off of their own dime. They are on government assistance.
We Subsidize Men's Sports. Maybe It's Time To Subsidize Women's Sports
KLS and Danger passes were way off target. Kia was choking on bunnies. Collier lost a little confidence after getting knocked to the floor a couple times on her shot with no calls and threw the ball away at the end. Refs decided Uconn winning was bad for the game and did something about it.
Collier was so dominant in that defensive post position. She got key offensive rebounds and scored without being noticed. I believe she finishes her career very strongly and becomes # 1 pick next year.
Collier may be leading the team in scoring. Her remaining statistics may also average out better than the rest. Just some recent numbers I thought I saw.
No one knows yet but a key separation could be Z's ability to stand strong against their bigs. If that isn't there, then I believe Collier would be in foul trouble trying to get that done. At that point, it's becomes a slaughter in the paint.
Agreed, passes to post were much better last year. Then Mississippi State came along and everyone lost their heads. Passes suddenly were arrant. Defense disappeared. Collier lost her confidence because she realized her teammates didn't have it that day. Collier needs to maintain her confidence...
Don't underestimate the value of a good fresh chest of perch deep fried in your hotel kitchenette. That's at least a 25 dollar plate if your looking for this freshness. Afterward, you can go to the game with a real smile on your face. Oh, leave your windows cracked a little!
I believe there was the bad foot early in the year. Also, maybe the hip is hurting her for which she had surgery on before college. But I don't believe Collier would want to hear any of that. She is warrior like her grand daddy.
I believe Collier is still injured and just trying to fill a role as best as possible. Before, she was always flying all over the arena getting to balls no one else could dream of getting to. Her offensive arsenal was unmatched. Now, she is the last up the court. She doesn't even go after long...
Collier is too finesse according to some. But Collier is indeed undersized in her oversized role guarding big and good centers. You may wonder why she fouls out. But it appears her role this year causes this. I also believe she is still hurting and is not moving like Collier of old. many times...
