Interesting development. Four quick thoughts and a long-term question:
1. I really like Ionescu, but her tendency to disappear in big games is a pretty glaring weakness. I'm having a hard time thinking of one really big game against a non-PAC 12 team not named MSU where she didn't have a mediocre outing.
2. I really like Graves (like, one of my top 3 most likeable WCBB coaches), but he does not coach with a Plan B (or C or D) in mind, and his players generally don't have solid plan Bs either (with the notable exception of Sabally, who can really do everything).
3. I really like Hebard, but she (along with Boley) really lacks a plan B when plan A isn't working. I suspect it's why her professional prospects are relatively muted as compared to her buffo college stats lines. Plan A is outstanding, but if the other team takes it away...
4. Speaking of: Walz really is a great tactician. I'd still give him no more than a B grade for player development, but he really knows how to exploit weaknesses and scout the opposition.
Now, the question is: does Oregon bounce back from this the way UConn did last year when they lost to Louisville? I'd surely love to see a rematch in the post season...
