Home court winning streaks

[doggydaddy]

I'm not talking rosters, just Chiney on BS. Chiney did a pretty job on Moore at Stanford, so just saying.

Sorry Cardfan, but neither of us know if Chiney can cover Stewart.

of course I don't know, but I am betting she can.

 

[Icebear]

of course I don't know, but I am betting she can.

Remember that Breanna is way, that's WAY longer than Maya was. She presents a completely different challenge than Maya did. Guarding one is not guarding the other.

it's unlikely Breanna starts. i'd say offhand that Chiney is matched up against Kelly. or KML. i don't doubt that Bree gets 25 minutes per game as she's that good, but Bree as a freshman vs. Chiney as a junior - with one starting for sure and one probably not - won't exactly be the matchup that decides the game IMHO...

plus, with Nneka leaving, what other "superstar" will Stanford have? at this point IIRC, Tinkle has worked her way into the starting lineup? so you probably start Kokenis, Laroque, Greenfield, Chiney O, and Tinkle? if that matches up against Doty, Hartley, Faris, KML and Dolson/Stokes, i think you have to put Chiney on KML if you go man since Taylor won't be able to stop KML IMHO, and we've found teams can sag off of Kelly on the scoring side allowing Taylor and Chiney to double KML, or Chiney and Joselyn to double Stef...

IMHO UCONN's best lineup will probably be Hartley, Faris, KML, Bree, and Dolson/Stokes - at least from a scoring perspective as well as defensively. i don't know if Doty's knees will ever be 100%, but i know being the warrior she is, she will contribute however she can. anyhoo... at that point, pick your poison - Chiney vs. Bree would be fun to watch, but you have to admit as a whole, it's a lineup that favors UCONN...

are Camp, Ruef, and Boothe out for the year? i think Mashore is right? u guys should get a lot of "fresh blood" next year but i'm not sure if they will just make your bench deeper, or if any of them will be a potential starter... but i'll admit Stanford could be stronger than i'd anticipated if some of those guys coming back prove to be really good.

yea, Chiney is pretty long too and uncanny leaping and rebounding ability.

Mojo is as mojo does.

Thank you, Padre Gump.

Ok, Maybe Stanford gets a draw in 1 matchup, but loses the other 4.

And UConn's bench will be historically ridiculous.

Lindy L, Mashore, and Nneka are Srs. Boothe is redshirt Jr. Not sure her status this year or next (she is out now with foot issues, again)

Current frosh guards Alex Greene and Jasime Camp are out for the year. My guess they’ll both redshirt.

Jr. Ruef is out and my guess (only a guess) is she’ll redshirt as well.

We have 2 posts coming in next year, Alyson Beebe, 6’3” (Santa Maria, Calif./Saint Joseph HS) and Tess Picknell, a 6-5 center from South Medford High School in Meford, Ore.

Our star will be Chiney, who is playing well very now and will only get way better.

I think our starters could be;

1 Toni (with Camp and Green)
2 Orrange (also with Camp or Green, James and Ruef?)
3 Greenfield (Ruef, Payne, Samuelson) I love Payne’s game and wish she’d play more
4 Tinkle (and frosh centers?)
5 Chiney O (and frosh centers?)

Cardfan's starting lineup for next year looks right to me, except you'd have to call Orrange the 1 and Kokenis the 2. Kokenis can play either position (right now she is the best 1 *and* the best 2 that we have... wish we could clone her), but Orrange doesn't shoot well enough to be considered a 2. This year when they are in together, Orrange usually brings the ball up. Toni moves to the 1 when Orrange goes out.

Also, before Camp was injured, she was starting ahead of Orrange. She is a better shooter, so she might beat out Orrange again next year if healthy.

 

[triaddukefan]

Perhaps next year the three longest streaks come to an end. I got money on Stanford's and Miami's coming to a closure.... Baylor @ UCONN will be interesting.

Agree with your pts compsci87. I was being pretty conservative based on not knowing the health of Camp and Green and knowing Tara likes to push tempo, which is why Toni is playing more pg this yr. Certainly there are many unknowns, especially considering the health of Camp and Green (and Ruef), and the development of Orrange's shooting skills.

how many point did KML have against Stanford, did she start (how many minutes did she play)?

Chiney won't guard KML

 

[DaddyChoc]

Chiney won't guard KML

not my point... Eric was suggesting that BStew wouldnt start etc. so I was just saying how KML didnt start etc. and look how effective she was.

 

[DaddyChoc]

and according to everyone in the world BStew is the next best thing since KML

 

[EricLA]

not my point... Eric was suggesting that BStew wouldnt start etc. so I was just saying how KML didnt start etc. and look how effective she was.

so what was your point? just because Bree doesn't start doesn't mean she won't get starters minutes or maybe even being the top scorer on the team next year. Heck, KML was the leading scorer this year before her slump...

but i think i was originally responding to Cardfan's comments that Chiney would be guarding Bree, which may happen when Bree is in, but I don't think she starts so... Usually when people talk about matchups, they talk about the starting 5 of one team vs. the other, then the "bench" as a whole.

course, a team comprised of our "1st 5" off the bench (probably Moriah, Brianna, Morgan, Bree and Kiah) would certainly be a top 10 team, and probably top 5 IMHO, even tho it's 3 freshmen and 2 sophomores.

 

[DaddyChoc]

if KML busted STANFORD why cant BStew... starting or not. thats my point

 

[uconnfan68]

We're headed to Maples next season, right? If so, Stanford's streak is toast.

Going to be interesting to see if UConn's streak makes it through this season. Certainly feasible, but ND at the end of the month will be tough, as will the BET (which counts, right?).

We already played ND without Stokes or Banks, and a rusty Doty. Now we get to play them at home or on neutral courts. If Kantner shows up, I'm worried, otherwise not so much.

 

[cardfan]

you can't equate KML's success at home on the 3rd game of the season vs. a green Stanford backcourt to what BStew would potentially do at Stanford vs. Chiney or Tinkle (or frosh centers). Apples and Oranges.

E Im with you.

BStew will be a post player IMO... and Stanford will put their most talented/mobile player (Chiney) on her and whomever will guard Stef/Tuck & Stokes

oh. i was getting confused. and that's not difficult lol...

 

[DaddyChoc]

nah its going to be BStew's fault that yall lose

I think Chiney can hang with her.

You really don't want to compare rosters for next year, do you?

Sorry Cardfan, but neither of us know if Chiney can cover Stewart.

of course I don't know, but I am betting she can.

Eric this is were it all started...

 

[doggydaddy]

Yeah, with your post with that horrid emoticon.

Dragging in my posts? Stirring things up?

If was just some friendly bantering between Cardfan and I. I'm sure Cardfan had no issues with it.

Stop stalking me.
