This would be an awful loss for them.

Up 4 now with 16 second to go...looks like they'll hold on.

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully next year she comes in healthy, focused and in shape. Still think she could be an excellent player for MTSU.

No doubt she can be an excellent player for whatever team she's playing for, as long as she can overcome her physical setbacks.

Looks like it was pretty much Onyenwere, Osborne and Chou carrying the Bruins today.

Chou has really stepped up in the past few weeks.

You can also see how with no Onyenwere and with Dean having a horrible game, they were ripe for the upset at USC. Onyenwere does so much for them, both tangibles and non-tangibles.

There's talk elsewhere of Louisville being forgiven their losses w/ Balogun out. Does the same apply to UCLA here?

There's no way to know for sure. The committee certainly has the ability to consider player availability. Whether they do in a specific case, and to what extent, is anyone's guess.

Here's a pic I snapped when Rellah first entered the game. She has short hair and a brace on her left leg. (You can see #11 Aislynn Hayes right behind her, and across the lane from her is #1 Anastasia Hayes.)

I was mildly surprised because the sentiment on the MTSU board was that she would only enter the game if other players had foul trouble. She only played 1 minute on Jan. 30 vs. UTEP but not in the two games after that.

Good pic. I was intrigued by her coming out of HS and at Texas since her skill set is unlike anyone else I can think of. 6-3, strong as an ox, lefty, great hands, good first step, can score off the bounce and handle from the perimeter, plus has a decent jumpshot. All coming out of HS. Struggled to sync well with teammates on the court but a lot of that may have been maturity/not adapting to being a role player in Karen's system. Whenever she had the ball she tried to play Rellah ball rather than get teammates involved.

This is all true. To be fair, it's a stretch to even call what Karen has a "system," but whatever it is, she was not successful in bringing Rellah along within the context of an organized offense.

I will say, the fans at Texas loved Rellah, and probably some of the loudest cheers were when she'd make a great play or score. Sadly, not often enough.
