Houston Postgame Thread

[jabstep]

I remember when Crystal was a freshman and Geno was constantly on her. Megan looked lost a lot of the time as a freshman and some of the time as a Sophmore. They both play like All Americans now. Next year Geno will have plenty of girls to teach. I wonder if Paige will come right into the point guard position and be the next Maya. I cant wait to see.

We played a very mediocre team from an equally mediocre conference. How many conference games have we won without a loss. UConn is a good team but not a great team. Three key players provided the vast bulk of the scoring again. ONO played better but look at the competition level she played against. If she had played that way against Baylor, we might have won the game.

We couldn't control the schedule. Yes, Houston is not Baylor, but the decisive 1st quarter was a good statement by the Huskies. We could have played down to the level of the competition, but we didn't. One small step forward. Hopefully, we have lots of steps forward.

The player in question is Jasmyne Harris. Last season she played the first half vs UConn and then the coach sat her down for the 2nd half. Subsequently, she was suspended for the remainder of the season while she supposedly dealt with some “personal issues.”

Harris was allowed back on the team this year after going through counseling, completing community service projects along with several other requirements established by Coach Hughey. She started the first 5 games for Houston and was their leading scorer. But once again, she was suspended from the team, without comment from the University.

Oh, I do remember seeing a mention of this somewhere. Why would Meghan characterize this as a "mental illness" on a broadcast (even if that is the underlying problem). I think Meg should have stuck with "personal issues" or "violation of team rules" unless the player came out publicly and admitted treatment for a "mental illness".

I think that Griffin may be the most talented player on the team- bar none. She has displayed moments of dazzling brilliance. She may lack confidence, and she certainly was awkward several times (two travels?). But on the other hand, she's the most exciting player on the team. And often she is the most aggressive player on the team as well.

Wonder whether she'll blossom into a full-fledged first team All American next year? She could.

I sympathize with your enthusiasm, but she is not yet the most talented player on this team. Not by a long shot. She has to first; play under control, and second; provide some offense other than lay-ups. She is exciting. And will be much more so when the game slows down for her, and she regains the confidence she had as a senior in HS. Where, basically, no one could stop her.

Really? That is the word you want to use? Unbelievable.

Use any word you like, but Houston should not be able to match this team , point for point, over a full quarter.

Know what winning a quarter gets you???
