I came by really late to read this thread. So this is hardly a timely observation, but I have to say this was a great game to watch!

Reese's brother is playing for the men's team next year so it's hard to see her leaving. But with Maryland you never know.

Some rumors that Oklahoma could hire Maryland's men's coach, Mark Turgeon; I don't see it, though. Still, coaching changes often lead to transfers.

Imagine how good she'd be if she were in real BB condition.

How do you know she’s not better at her size?

JordyG has posted repeatedly about Owusu not being in good shape. Never mind that she's the leader of offense that was literally about "all gas, no brakes."

Just because she has a unique body type doesn't mean you should take shots at her. You don't have to have blazing speed or a narrow waist to be in "real BB condition." Did Chelsea Gray make it to the WNBA in a "real BB condition"?

I hadn't seen her play before today. I assumed she was a post when I first saw her, then was amazed that she's actually a really good guard and moves very well. Appearances can be deceiving for sure!
 
Looks can be deceiving... Owusu has always had that body type but she’s moves extremely well. Doesn’t appear to slow her down much from the games I have watched. She’s a tremendous player. I enjoy watching her and Diamond Miller.

It’s just all around the definition of yikes

Someone else followed up and said there is a reason UConn players are not allowed to use twitter during the season. She’s definitely heated in the moment
Expand ...
Yeah I thought that too ... though I guess this wouldnt be against UConn rules since the season is over.

This is...... not great

I told y'all when Reese signed with MD that I expected her to be there one year then bail. I thought it would be the classic "coach wanted to change my game" but this will do.
 
I dont know how Reese faired on the defense end, but she was 0-6 with 2 TOs, so maybe she should be looking in the mirror if she wants to know the reason she didnt play more.

Toward the end of this game she was dragging herself up and down the court. How do y'all know she wouldn't be a better player if she took conditioning seriously? She's never tried it. In my life I've never seen a single player who wasn't better once they took diet and conditioning seriously. If you can please name one. I'll wait.

She's an All-American and an engineering major. And she didn't sit a minute during the second half. I think she knows what's good for her.

It's a ridiculously bad-faith argument to say that she doesn't take diet and exercise seriously because you think she doesn't fit the mold of what a PG should look like. Grow up.

Not saying she wouldn’t. I think Every basketball player would benefit from a good diet and conditioning. Dungee benefited a lot from it recently IMO. Although I don’t know what Owusu does and doesn’t do for that kind of stuff.

I was just saying she is pretty crafty and athletic for someone of her build.

I did view the stats earlier. She also had 5 or 6 rebounds in limited minutes, which was more than just about any other Terrapin, I think. Guess Brenda values scoring more than rebounding . . .

You can’t keep anyone happy these days. Everyone jumps into the transfer portal these days if they don’t get it their way

its become a free agency and musical chairs

For me, defense still wins championships. Few better at D than Vic's teams. He's a tremendous coach while Brenda is just very good. I thought UTA had a good chance to win this one. I don't take any advantage for SC from this game so I will be just as nervous watching the Gamecocks face the Longhorns as I would have the Terps. Dawn and Vic both know each other, hopefully Dawn continues the success she has over Vic. Would love to see Destiny Littleton have a very nice game off the bench - she was pretty miserable in Austin and thought Aston should be fired. I thank ABC/ESPN for giving SC an 8 hr rest advantage with their scheduling. :confused:
Expand ...
Littleton showed up in awful physical condition her freshman season, and then was injured in part for that reason. All she wanted to do was shoot, and not play defense. She got in better condition for her sophomore season, but still not good enough to reach her potential, IMO.

That’s a New Britain accent. We lived in Avon while we were raising our kids, and I worked in New Britain part of that time. They didn’t talk like that in Avon, except the kids did - only when saying “New Bri-ian“. That’s just how it is.

Rebecca has spent a lot of time in Bristol (home of ESPN), which is so close to New Bri-ian it almost IS New Bri-ian“.

Don't put Bristol in this conversation lol!

I still don't get why everyone was saying the Big10 proved themselves a superior conference! All hot air, and mirrors. Way over seeded if they can't even beat TX - I knew AZ deserved to be a two seed!

:eek: :confused::cool:😎
Expand ...

Superior conference is a stretch, but a competitive conference yes. Impression I've gotten from some posters is that the BIG10 teams weren't on the same level as other P5 conferences.

While only 1 team moved on to the Elite 8, they had 4 in the Sweet 16 which was more than any other conference I believe. One just knocked a #1 seed who won the ACC tournament. Rankings aside, their conference performed well in the tournament in my opinion.
 
What was up with Andy Landers yesterday? I normally enjoy his commentary. But, in pre-game, half-time, and maybe even after that, he would just keep digging in his heels with his comments that Maryland's offense was unstoppable. Carolyn Peck kept standing up for Texas' defense over and over, and he just kept shooting her down. I've never seen him as anti-Texas, but he was way over the top yesterday, IMO.
