Message: [QUOTE="DavidinNaples, post: 2562896, member: 3537"] [ATTACH=full]28347[/ATTACH] To my untrained eye, Kyla Irwin has been the victim of several phantom foul calls. Then I saw this photo with Kyla clearly fouling the Cincinnati player by grabbing both hands with her waist and bicep... :rolleyes: Kyla's surprise start in the 2nd half against Cincinnati led to her best stat line this season. In 18 minutes of play, Irwin scored 5 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and handed out 5 assists. She added a blocked shot and a steal to round out her finest game of the season. She seemed comfortable playing with 4 starters and appears to understand Geno's offensive and defensive schemes. Her stats for playing just 175 minutes in 19 games are what you would expect, with a few strange numbers: [U]Regular stats[/U]: 1. Points scored 52 or 2.7 per game. 2. Three-point shooting = 4-15 or 27%. 3. Inside the arc scoring = 19-28 or 68%. 4. Assists = 13, turnovers = 10. Ratio is 1.30 [U]Now the weird numbers[/U]: 1. Free throw shooting = 2-7 or 29%. :oops: 2. Rebounds = 23, but only player on the team with more offensive rebounds (15) than defensive (8). 3. Fouls = 22 (same as Megan Walker, 3 more than Katie Lou in 300 fewer minutes) 4. Blocked shots = 1 (Lou has 2, but so does Mikayla.) :eek: Being the daughter of two basketball coaches has benefits. Kyla has great basketball knowledge and apparently is very "coachable." Her fitness looks good and Geno seems inclined to use her to occasionally spell UConn's front line. Hopefully, just the beginning of a productive 2nd half of the season. :) Go Huskies..!! [/QUOTE]
