Nevada with a big game vs. #21 Oregon State tonight

[MilfordHusky]

OSU tosses the ball inside then kicks it out to an open shooter. Splash for 3.

Amanda wasn’t happy and called a TO.

 

[MilfordHusky]

#10 of OSU reminds me of the Princeton star.

 

[nwhoopfan]

If they played all three at once the would have a front line that averaged 6'8"

Yeah that would be a huge lineup. I'm not sure they'll even play 2 of them together real often, have to wait and see. Gulic is having a nice season, they'll definitely miss her. Bring everybody else back though plus get Slocum and several recruits.

Not sure of the crowd size, but it’s in the hundreds. I think the arena holds 2,000.

So if I may ask, is this home for you, or vacation? More than a little jealous here...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Grymek is on the floor now. How tall are they?

 

[nwhoopfan]

At first, I was feeling short, but then I saw Scott.

Ha, yeah he's not tall. It's hilarious seeing him standing next to a player like Hamblin or Gulic. Pretty much all of his players are taller. He might be sub 5'5".

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think Grymek is 6'8".

Post-Thanksgiving vacation. It’s cold in D.C.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Still basically a 2-fer at 75-38 after 3Q.

Amanda looks 2-3” taller than Scott.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think Grymek is 6'8".

They look as if they can reach halfway up the net on their flat feet.

Grymek 6-8.
Gulich 6-5.
Aquino 6-9, Morris 6-7.

Amanda looks 2-3” taller than Scott.

Okay I'm stumped, I'm not sure who Amanda is.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Grymek 6-8.
Gulich 6-5.
Aquino 6-9, Morris 6-7.

Yikes!! They all look 6’7”+.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Corosdale 6-3
Thropay 6-2
McWilliams 6-2
Washington 6-1
Tudor 6-0

at least according to their roster

 

[MilfordHusky]

I’m not usually on the floor next to the players, but OSU in particular looked huge.

 

[nwhoopfan]

89-49 final. That was a beatdown. Nevada shot 27% from the floor and 20% from the 3 point arc. I know it's easy to say they just had a bad game, but OSU's opponents have been having bad games against them for years.

That's cool. I go to some of Washington's games but I've never been down by the court. W/ an unbalanced conference schedule not everybody plays home and home every year. I've seen OSU 2 or 3 times in recent years, but they didn't come to Seattle last year (not including the conference tournament). I'll probably go to the game this year. Might go to the game against Oregon too so I can see Ionescu, Hebard and company in person.


edited--I'd like to go to a game in Corvallis some time but not sure when that will happen

Okay I'm stumped, I'm not sure who Amanda is.

Amanda- She is the one who lights up your life and who fate should have made a gentlemans wife. Perhaps he meant Aleah or Mikayla, but the shortest player is Kalmer at 5'8"

 

[Sluconn Husky]

How on earth did UConn nearly get outscored in an entire half by that team?

Don Williams, the Gentle Giant, may he rest in peace.

 

[MilfordHusky]

OSU had close losses in their 2 biggest games so far (Notre Dame, Duke), but has been squashing the rest of their opponents. I still think they'll be in the thick of the Pac 12 race this year.

I thought they looked good and possibly underrated at #21.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Wait til next year! They lose Gulic but return Grymek and get Aquino and Morris. They'll have 3 player 6-7+. They've got pretty good size on the wings too w/ Tudor and McWilliams.

Interesting roster: the 2 giants are from Europe, and everyone else is from a Western state. I like Pivec just from reading her bio: she is the highest ranked player ever recruited to OSU and, as a freshman, set the #4 OSU mark in the javelin throw. That reminds me of Kendra Wecker from KSU, who was national class in the javelin. Also, from the personal sections of the kids' bios: One looks up to Diana, and another grew up watching Sue Bird. I know those names!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yeah that would be a huge lineup. I'm not sure they'll even play 2 of them together real often, have to wait and see. Gulic is having a nice season, they'll definitely miss her. Bring everybody else back though plus get Slocum and several recruits.

Yeah, they look good now and should be even better next year.

Um, you guys have a short memory.

Amanda Levens is Scott's counterpart. We saw her 3 days ago.
