Big early season games

[Lorcan]

Both teams have gutted rosters compared to last year, only a few rotational players from last season return in both cases. The losses go deeper than the 2 stars for each. If I'm looking at last year's stats correctly, MSU lost 3 starters and UP lost ALL FIVE.

It's true - and sad to see that these teams have a much harder time reloading than the traditional powerhouses of the world. That said, the attrition and transfers at the mid-major level has been mind-boggling this year - I attempted to draft a team mostly of mids for a fantasy league and it's proven hard outside of a few teams that have been unscathed. The Maggie Doogans, Adrianna Smiths, and the Brooklyn Meyers of the world seem to be fewer and farther in between.

I've been halfway watching this game. Lots of turnovers for both teams, but especially for Portland. Montana St. looks like a team that still knows what their identity is, The Pilots look like a young team who have never played together. Rough outing. Chirrick is as much of a pest on defense as ever, seems like every time I look up she's deflecting a pass or getting a steal.

The big game Tennessee at UConn on February 1.

I am so glad this series is being continued. It's probably my favorite game of the season that doesn't involve NC State.

Yes a lot of history there.
