Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4473826, member: 2117"] Both games were excellent. For the first game, both teams had stretches of great play. Both teams utilize great ball movement and have shooters. I really like Spencer for Arkansas, very quick and a good player. Poffenbarger plays hard and isn't shy to look for her shot, but it isn't a very pretty shot IMO. Vanslooten is a stud. Mobile, coordinated and good size at 6-3. Seems like an ideal college player with her size and skill set. I think she'll do great under Graves. Rodgers was very effective too, huge night. I thought it was a pretty game to watch and both teams played hard. Very back and forth with Oregon taking over the 4th. I think both squads are 15-20 range. Oregon has some nice upside with their young roster. Arkansas looks cohesive on the court but lacks size. Second game was not as pretty but had a pretty remarkable ending. To be honest I have no idea how Ohio State pulled this off with almost zero contribution from their big 3. Sheldon was out injured which drastically changed their flow on both ends, and Mikesell/Mikulasikova shot something like 1-19 from the floor in regulation. Mikulasikova was absolutely dominated by Dulcy FM from USF. DFM is GOOD. Great at getting good position inside and has a bevy of nice post moves and good touch. 34 points, 17 boards compared to Mikulasikova's 2 points/7 boards on 1-8 shooting. She was the star of the night. Puisis has a really pretty shot and a quick release. Got some quick threes when USF broke Ohio State's press. The rest of Ohio State played quite well. Cotie McMahon (almost the same name as former Tennessee Lady Vol Cait McMahon) was very effective at getting in the lane and getting buckets inside, Thierry was quite good too. Madison Greene was playing well but left with a knee injury that didn't look good. Hoping it isn't a dreaded ACL. Rikki Harris was really active defensively. Ohio State just looked sluggish/off for much of the game and then turned on the jets late. Happens with a lot of good teams where they seemingly "wake up" and realize they should win the game instead of coasting. The ending was pretty spectacular. USF seemingly had the game on lock up 6 with a minute to go and then OSU played brilliantly down the stretch and hit shots/forced TOs. Mikesell finally hit a 3 off an offensive rebound to tie the game with about 15 seconds to go. Ohio State is not a top 5 team playing the way they did tonight, but it is a little scary that they can still win a game like this and put up 88 with almost no contribution from their big 3. Hoping Shelden gets healthy soon. [/QUOTE]
