Need Raven to get going again (she just hasn't been taking a lot of threes, but they go in when she takes a few), but yes, Pao Pao and Hall have been shooting the ball very very well. Others have been opportunistic with their shots as well.
Freshman impatience! Fulwiley is forcing it too often. She needs to take every open 3 but hold off when it’s contested. Look to pass or drive and dish/shoot if it’s contested.
Her 3pt shot needs work.Same issue as Saniya Rivers year one. Miss is at the back of the rim or hard off the backboard.
Her feet are in inconsistent .
We won the rebounding contest - by only 1. I thought only Ashlynn was boxing out and fighting for it.
It’s evident by now that coach Staley does not trust Feagin for whatever reason(s) to play meaningful minutes. I certainly don’t know the reason, she produces when in the game and appears to be energized this season on defense. There has to be an explanation, I think Jah played more than she did against MSU, and that just baffles the hell out of me.
There has not been any official announcement on that topic, yet. But many have already pointed out the calendar/dates issue and if I had to guess she will not be available for the Uconn game.
Everything is pointing to her missing that game from what I have heard but it is nothing concrete and probably the same sources as yours. Brazil is playing Olympic qualifiers on the 8th, 10th, and 11th of Feb against Australia, Serbia, and Germany, respectively, so it would make sense for her to miss the Missouri and UConn games that month.
I hope it’s not true. Don’t think UConn can compete with South Carolina with or without Cardosa so losing with Cardosa would be infinitely better.
Most of us aren’t expecting Cardoso for that game. Hopefully she comes back ready to play for the rest of the season when it counts.
Each team in the Olympic Qualifier will have a 12-player roster so three shown above will not play in February. I brought up the Cardoso question a while back when I saw that the qualifier occurs the same weekend as the UConn @SC game.
Amihere set the precedent playing for Team Canada. Country over school 100%
I think she is being very loose with the phrase "gametime decision." Those games aren't a 30 minute flight away. If she goes, I would think she would go for all the games, thus leave on the 7th or so.
She will never stop any player from playing in an Olympic event for her country. Cardoso has an NIL deals tied up with her being on the Brazilian basketball team. Thats smother reason. 2ndly. Dawn
And I thought Feagin had a fantastic night, especially on defense. Was very impressed with her extended minutes. The fact that that Missouri had several shot clock infractions last night was very encouraging because they play that 5 out ball screen offense that we have had trouble with before.
