Do the good folks who say that Blanca provides a spark off the bench realize that a spark is the most minuscule possible pyrotechnic event.

Blanca, more accurately, provides a . . .



. . . off the bench.

In this game, she made three or four Magic Johnson passes only to end up with zero assists because her teammates bungled the ball or missed the shot.

Serah had 5 turnovers in the Ohio St game and people were freaking out, in the 7 games tht followed she's only had a total of 8. Seems like the more she's on the court the more the game slows down for her. Geno has found another potential diamond in the rough.

Didn't see the game as I don't have Peacock and don't want to go down the rabbit hole of free seven day offers, etc. So my comments are based on the box score. Anyway, looks like it was an "everybody eats" game and that's not too shabby.

Check with your cable or streaming provider. Peacock is nbc
NBC recently relaunched NBCSPORTS channel
Youtubetv carries the new channel
DIRECTV though not carrying the channel yet carries the games on ch 619 which they callNBCS1
Those are all the providers I have so check with yours they may be carrying it

[whispers] get it. It's a good quality broadcast, with our old friend Meg, doing color, and there are enough games to justify the cost, especially if you are also a fan of the men's program..

Channel 1211 NBCSN on Xfinity has carried games when on Peacock. I also was able to tape it.

Earlier this week I wondered if Allie had one of her upper arms taped due to a tattoo. Others here believed it was for an arm/shoulder issue. In watching the replay, she was not wearing the tape, so....another time where ol Centerstream was wrong. Hmm.

She did have a fairly large band aid on that upper arm. The patch could be covering a tat.👍

A few thoughts:

• Bigs passing has improved greatly
• Blanca continues to amaze with her passing as she's playing chess and her teammates are playing checkers. Her shooting is somewhat of a headscratcher at times. Way off some shots and pure on others. Perhaps it's her release motion as it looks a bit more of flicked motion as opposed to a shooters follow through
• KK and Azzi played great. Sarah was great, but a bit too many turnovers. Our standards are high for this gal.
• Serah and Jana do a lot of positives out there and Serah has definitely improved her aggressiveness both on the offensive end and the defensive end and rebounding
• Serah and Jana missed some WIDE OPEN layups, real headscratcher.
• Shade was solid, K9 was super solid-- really liked her one fade away jumper
• Allie is craftier than I suspected and improving on defense.
• Kelis is showing some nice minutes. Really like her offensive skillset and hope to see her defensive improvement this year since she has the potential to be a menace on that end.
• Sorry to see Carol leave the court, although her shot is not falling, she's hustling to the basket and got a couple of nice layups
• Ayanna is trying hard and you can see her raw talent. Right now we just need her to be a great defender and a rebounder.
• Excited to watch the matchup with Iowa!!!

You are absolutely correct. I assumed she would be wearing her usual tape.

Blanca . . .

Yes, but in fairness to the pass recipient, in many of those cases Blanca did gently (but quickly) place the ball directly into their hands when they were wide open and a couple feet from the basket 😳😕

Moriah Jefferson used to have the same challenges - even when the recipient was Stewie on occasion 😯 😱

Consuegra apparently decided to keep the starters in the 4th to allow the Musketeers to at least make up some of the lopsided deficit and have a little face-saving after being completely dominated on both ends of the floor for 3Q's.

Musketeers? Thinking Xavier? Golden Eagles.
