Not in garbage time but mostly her own misses. but at least she was working the boards. Davis isn’t a small team with 10 6 foot or better including 6’6”, 6’5, a couple of 6’3” etc. rebounds were even on the stat sheet but Davis blocked out and worked at it more efficiently. Oregon’s downfall was bad shooting, lack of hustle, and a speed deficit.
Is OU skimping on their weight room?
Prince's hands seem to go away sometimes - looked like she could have gotten more rebounds, but fumbled them away. Did the same on passes inside. Will never forget Graves saying a couple years ago that she had "Bill Walton" similarities.
Does she like to ramble on endlessly about various inane subjects? Are we sure he was referring to her basketball abilities w/ these similarities?
The world is very much divided on whether Walton is entertaining or irritating. I've heard too much of him, I don't find him amusing. But certainly many do, so it's a matter of taste.
Prince just runs up and down the court like it is a PE class that you have to participate in. Does not even try to get a rebound. Get Sabally, PaoPao and Rodger back in January and start Kyei in her place with Watson and Prince rotating in. No way Prince is a starter, it is like the heart is just not there. I am sure some of the other players would be fine with it. I just dont see her focus is there to win games. She seems more interested in all the side extras out there. Just a vibe I have.
She actually was on a USA team this summer (coached by Dawn) and did ok. She also had a good game against Georgia in last's year's NCAA Tournament. But that was with Sabally in the lineup, something that now seems a prerequisite for her being more than "sizzle," if never the player Oregon fans hoped she would be. Not going to UCONN surely saved Geno a headache or two.
Still missing the three all-conference players: Paopao, Rogers, Sabally. Coach says Rogers got her hand cast off and is looking pretty good for the December road trip to Kansas State and Northwestern. Sabally and Paopao both out until about Christmas.
The biggest thing about Parrish is many felt she was capable of taking over a game. She just needs to be more consistent game in and game out. Get the others back and get play like that from her and it will feel like a different team.
I put him in the endearing category. Not necessarily entertaining, but someone you want to have a beer...or something else... with.
What kind of weirdo stigmatizes someone for getting sick?
The Oregon fan base loves Prince and Sabally but they might be the issues going on with the team.
Everyone obviously has a right to his/her own opinion, but I don't quite see how taking 28 shots in 49 minutes of playing time over two games (and making 17) with 4 turnovers makes Nyara this season a "ball hog and a turnover machine." (Or maybe my standards are just really low.) And, like her sister, she is anything but a "bully." I do agree that having Sabrina (or a reasonable facsimile) around cracking the whip would help.
I love Bill Walton.
