DPOY.

I would have "liked" this post ... but in fact I LOVE it!!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Ekmark 2-7, all three attempts.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

G-Will is 3-3 for 7 points and 7 rebounds.

Things are getting sloppy overall though.

 

[EricLA]

Stokes almost with a triple double - 12 points, 10 boards, 7 blocks...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Stewart connects from three.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Tierney coming in. Ms. Pulido not far behind? Yup, she's in too.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Listening to it on the radio. they said that Ekmark is going to excel at the catch and shoot 3 pointer. Maybe like a taller Mel Thomas?

I'd agree with that, mi amigo!

 

[EricLA]

So Edwards barely got more time than the walk ons. Not a terrific sign for her earning PT this season on a team that is guard heavy... anyone know why? I didn't see anything about her not practicing well. Did she not look good in the 3 minutes she played during the game?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Lawlor hits a three.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Now Pulido from three. Ha!

The only I can think of was last year's parade.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Edwards with a late TO but then a final steal to make sure WCU stays at single digits for the 2nd half.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Stokes with 13 pts, 12 rebs, 7 blks in 21 minutes. Didn't show off her new 3-point prowess though.

Williams would've had a double-double had she hit some free throws: 9 pts, 11 rebs, 3 stls in 18 minutes.

The Chong/Nurse battle seemed to be a draw in round 1:

Chong: 11 points, 2 assists, 3 steals in 21 minutes.

Nurse: 12 points, 2 assists, 2 steals in 20 minutes.

Tuck had 9 rebounds in 17 minutes, but just 1-4 from the floor and 2-4 from the line. Seems healthy though which is the most important thing.

What is Stokes called?

Quay (using pronunciation #2)

These two combined will definitely make up for BH. And they can only get better.

Is there or will there be anywhere a box xcore?

 

[semper]

I was wondering the same. Checked ESPN. Nothing. Maybe on the Huskies website.

Thanks, Ice! Pretty good distribution, wouldn't you say?

Check out the guns on Gabby Williams! Hope she stays healthy because she's going to be special

First game, an exhibition game, may be stretching her legs, may be getting her legs under her..
I would not put a whole lot of weight into what she did or how much time she got today, seriously Eric

 

[cabbie191]

Thanks, also, Ice for the stats. I hate to be a Debbie Downer but good grief, our offensive production from first half to second half DECREASED by 17%. If the staff doesn't correct this right away, we just might be DOOMED .......................

 

[Icebear]

The team put up so many shots their arms had to be exhausted in the second half.

 

[alexrgct]

Yes, thanks Alex. How's Saniya looking, comfortable out there?

I'd say Saniya looked very solid. She and Mo together may just play a mean defensive backcourt. On offense, especially in transition, she was attacking the basket with that sense of purpose Bria Hartley so often did. I'm not calling it yet, but I think she'll be a more than serviceable starting guard.

 

[Zorro]

Thanks a bunch, Br'er Bear.
