At first, I was feeling short, but then I saw Scott.
Post-Thanksgiving vacation. It’s cold in D.C.
Amanda looks 2-3” taller than Scott.
They look as if they can reach halfway up the net on their flat feet.
Yikes!! They all look 6’7”+.
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"
I thought they looked good and possibly underrated at #21.
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!
Yeah, they look good now and should be even better next year.
Um, you guys have a short memory.
Good question. They didn't look like the same team tonight. Nevada struggled getting a good shot, stopping the inside shot, and contesting the 3-pointers. The Wolfpack shot only .274 overall and .200 from the arc. In contrast, the Beavers shot .537 overall and .543 (13-24) from distance. Nevada lost by 40 and was outscored by 33 from the arc. OSU is shooting a stellar .462 from the arc for the season (6 games).
My best guess, from the handshake line, is that Coach Levens is 4" taller than Coach Rueck--and she was wearing sneakers.
I don't think you are seeing something that is not there. When Nevada played Uconn they had lost three games out of six. Look at how Tulane played Uconn last season and how hard USF plays against them and then loses to or struggles with an unranked team. Some teams get sky high for Uconn. Also, see Charliebball's post.
Um, you guys have a short memory.
Amanda Levens is Scott's counterpart. We saw her 3 days ago.
It's never a good idea to put too much emphasis on comparative scores. To many variables involved on any given night. Notice I said TOO MUCH emphasis. It can have some value if we really know the teams involved and can recognize it their game they played was average, below average or above average. Teams often have players who play the game of their life on a given night and that would certainly affect the perspective of the teams actual strength. The opposite also holds true as well.
