I attended the Sun Devil opener against UTSA.  Classic mismatch. That  said, I wondered if Courtney's health issues are behind here.  She was 1 for 7 in the first half as a result of very poor outside shooting.  Her adjustment (or more likely Coach Thorne's  adjustment) to work in the paint and use her height advantage was successful.  However she seemed a step slow on defense and against higher level, more talented guards in the Pac12, I am concerned about her ability to contain.  I imagine we will see more Richardson and Ryan in Pac12 play where the guards are much quicker and talented (and taller) than schools like UTSA.  Coach Thorne unlike Geno, schedules down in preseason.  The Sun Devil's have played SC very close last 2 years but those opponents are rare outside conference.  I loved Courtney's game in HS and hope the lingering impact of foot injuries are overcome to allow her greater mobility and speed. I fear her playing time will decline in conference play.
