Sadie Edwards hasn't been back in since the game started. Hope she didn't hurt something....

She was in a second time. Around the 11-10 minute mark. Didn't do much.
 
Any notable performances so far? I just got home so I will catch the 2nd half.
 
Did anyone catch the color commentator's comments on Wilson and the impact (per Aja) of certain teams having [already] lost in the Tournament? I was asleep at the switch but it sounded as though the losses were notable to Aja. Did anyone hear the whole exchange between the commentators? TIA
 
Well, the commentators just said that Wilson told them that USC and Tennessee losing early in the tournament will be a factor in her decision. To what end, who knows. Maybe she wants to go somewhere that needs help? Or maybe she wants to go somewhere that wins national championships?
 
Atkins and the floater are no fluke!! She keeps doing it and doing it and doing it well

Thx - That's what I thought I heard but wasn't sure..... Very interesting and somewhat intriguing comment from Ms. Wilson.

Would seem to auger well for us, but who knows.
 
Fascinating, as Spock would say. Go UConn....perhaps we are playing for the golden ring. In addition to the NC!
 
Belton missed a wide open breakaway layup. Hope you guys work on those at Duke ;)
 
When asked again tonight (just now) what the deciding factors in her decision will be, Aja states her desire to find a school where she can have the best possible relationship with the coach (she also hints at the coach's quality as being a big factor) and, secondly, asks the question, "What can the school do for me afterwards? To help me get to the next level?" The latter point, at least, has been something she highlighted before. Good to hear that this point was top-of-mind for her when answering the question again courtside.

I like what i'm hearing so far this evening.

Well, if you want to play on the Olympic team, I guess that could apply to USC or UConn. I think she's being purposefully obtuse.

I always thought they would want to go where they would they like it best, but what do I know.....

Hmm. Maybe I'm over simplifying something, but I think only one of the schools she's considering has a HC who is in the midst of his second Olympic head coaching gig... ;)

I hear you - and she could still go to any of her final schools. No one knows.

But the grist for tonight's discussion mill is provided by plain, direct quotes from Aja herself. At least that's something.
 
Well, I am going by what the announcers said were factors in her decision, based on comments from Wilson herself. So obviously these things matter in terms of "liking it best".
 
Some fans have taken it to mean she that losing in the NCAA's indicates who "needs her" the most and that could be favorable for Tenn and SC. I say bull$hit but everyone will know by mid-april... Oh, and of course, the inevitable comments that UCONN would only stick her in the post to replace Dolson. Um... ok...:confused:

Nice thought, but because of Staley's experience as a USA Olympic player her name has been very prominent as the next coach after Geno.

Maybe but she's not there yet. Geno's been there twice. Or will be after 2016...
 
Staley as Olympic Coach in the future? Isn't it said that she does not play well with others? Not what I'd want in the Head Olympic Coach.
