ND vs FS

[ME Husky Fan]

FSU played a tough 2nd half but again, without Turner and Westbeld - talk about a mostly guard lineup. Looks like Maybrey and Ogunbowale are really coming into their own - and against good competition. Add in the kid who was injured this year (Patberg?) and the crew coming in next year and ND should remain right at the very top (IMHO along with Baylor, UCONN, Texas and possibly SC and L'ville)...

Ogunbowale can certainly ignite but two things a) her shooting percentage (not bad mind you) is comparable to that of courtney williams and I think both tend to be gunners and b) I don't think she's playing within the system that Muffet is most comfortable but given she lights things up I think Muffet let's it go.

On the subject of shooting percentages, she is shooting 45.0% overall and 43.5% from 3 during conference play. She has the highest 3-point percentage on the team in conference play. Her overall field goal percentage is basically identical to Cable's and better than both Mabreys.

She does shoot a lot. She leads the team in field goals attempted during conference play but she's also shooting it better than any of the other 3 players in ND's wing rotation, so I don't really think it's a problem.

In press conferences, Muffet has said that she wants Arike to be aggressive because the team needs it and the rest of the team is perhaps too willing to pass up on their own shot.

Indianapolis again? Seems like the final four is there every few years. What's so great about Indianapolis in early April? Or any time of year for that matter?

It is nicknamed nap-town for a reason! But seriously, don't come to the FF! Don't support any event in Indiana, the hater state. Last year laws were passed to allow discrimination if hidden behind the guise of religious freedom. The governor proudly signed it flanked by a bevy of bigots. This year in an attempt to rectify this legalized hatred, the state senate could not even get a bill out of committee to protect basic rights for all people.

I like Arike's aggressiveness, but I'd like to see her a bit more selective. The treys she took last night were open and the right shot. She takes the ball to the hoop off the dribble more than she should, in my opinion. And her shooting percentage suffers because of it. Lots of players overdo it.

A little disappointed in FSU's big girls. I thought they'd be tougher than they played!
FSU has more talent than they showed.
FSU not ready for prime-time action!
