Baylor @ West Virginia - 1/28/18

When a team plays Baylor, they can't afford to let Wallace and especially Chong, hurt them. I believe Chong was scoreless in her last two games.

Chou, and she was scoreless her past three games.

Baylor would no doubt prefer to start Morris at pg and Wallace at sg which moves Chou to the bench, but they just don't have the depth at pg, so they bring Morris off the bench to replace Wallace or they work together. Huge problem if Wallace gets into foul trouble.

WVU wore down as the game went on. Their shots became short as they played the 4th period!
Mike Carey is a fantastic HC and his teams always come at you for the full 40 minutes!
Without Martin, their star, they shouldn't have given Baylor that tough a game but the rest of the team, 7/8 players, played hard!

Actually, she likes Chou starting. Chou is a pure shooter who does so many things for the team. Creates mismatches, rebounds, and has a high game IQ. Morris like Wallace is prone to fouls also, so having someone like Chou who can defend well without a foul is needed. Especially considering Brown and Cox and can also easily get into foul trouble.

Thank you for the correction. I know Chong did not sound right.

Nailed it.

Tynice Martin hasn’t played all season, and WVU still has worked themselves up to #20 in nation in AP. Not sure why she keeps getting brought up. A lot of good teams have players out for the season.

Because not many of those teams are missing players the All-America caliber of Tynice Martin. Maybe ND and Brianna Turner.

WVU might be borderline top 20 without her. With her they could be top 10 easily, and have legitimate Final Four aspirations.

The way West Virginia started the season I thought to myself how better they could possibly be if Martin returned to the lineup. Those losses against K-State, TCU, and Ok. ST could've been victories with her playing.

I would throw in the loss to Baylor as well. That's by far the closest anyone has played Baylor outside of the UCLA game.

Chou is not proving herself to be a pure shooter. She simply doesn’t have the stats to back up that claim as she is the 4th best 3 point shooter on the team, behind Wallace, Morris and Landrum.

Chou is one heck of nice person. I've seen a few of her interviews and I've always come away impressed with her. What hasn't helped her on the court however is she is slow afoot and not particularly creative off the dribble.

You nailed it 100%. Her foot speed makes her feel rushed so she can’t relax on her shot and she also has trouble driving to the basket.

I think Chou is great, only a sophomore finding her place!

I hope that she finds her game because she could be very valuable if she turns into a good shooter. I have seen her drain three-pointer after three-pointer in warm-ups only to miss those same shots in game situations. I am not sure if she is putting too much pressure on herself or what, but her shot is just not very accurate in real game performance. She is shooting 39% from the field and 35% from 3-point range.

Chou IS a good shooter. She shot 42% last season, and was shooting 41% this year before this little slump hit. It happens to everybody at some point. She also contributes beyond raw scoring numbers, leading the team in steals and A/TO ratio. You tend to look down on her, but the whole picture of her game shows a very productive player.

I agree that she is a good contributor in areas other than scoring, but she had 3 0-point performances before the WVU game, a game in which she was productive on offense.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that she breaks out and has a killer performance the rest of the season. We need for her to score if we are to win a NC. She currently ranks 9th out of 9 players in shooting percentage. Every player on the team shoots a better percentage.
