Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3090650, member: 6034"] I was at the game and second everything you say based on what I saw. Indiana is a very well coached team, but they were completely overmatched physically and, surely, in terms of recruiting ratings. That said, I was actually surprised they didn't win by an even greater margin. Texas turned the ball over some 22 or so times, doesn't really play defense very well (although their huge height advantage did lead to some blocked shots), and seems to want to be the second coming of Tennessee on offense. (I think they had nearly twice as many rebounds as Indiana, partly due to their athleticism and partly due to how badly they shot.) To me Joiner-Holmes seems to be exactly the same player she was as a freshman: lots of physical talent coupled with a lack of conditioning and basketball savvy, as well a penchant for attempting, mostly without success, highlight plays instead of completing simple (and successful) ones. Collier rebounded well, but seems to lack any semblance of an offensive game, while Williams seems to have regressed since her days at A&M. One of the highlights of the day was watching Joiner-Holmes and White jogging ever so slowly down the court. (I've never seen anything quite like it.). The other (from the Oregon game) was Ionescu taking a "pass" late in the fourth quarter while sitting on the bench and then (apparently without thinking) launching a three. It missed and she got a technical. Sunday will "reunite" two exiles from Notre Dame: Ali Patberg and Erin Boley. [/QUOTE]
