Too bad Tenn fans didn't watch Megan Walker--a true candidate for FPOY.

Unlikely she will get the votes this year because she'll be coming of the bench garnering limited minutes and stats (unless there are injuries)..........this is where Walker and other top UConn recruits are willing to sacrifice individual honors.........at least as freshmen...........

Texas beat Oklahoma City tonight 99 to 36. Jatari high a game high 19 points. Boothe hit some three pointers. They can play a tall zone defense but they are slow. I believe they will give Baylor some tough competition and I would not be surprised to see them beat Baylor. Boothe has to take a lot of time to set for a three pointer. I believe poor discipline will be a problem for Texas.

,

As one who attended some classes at OKC U--I think Lefty ended there after JMU and MD--it is truly a power house as the score suggests. Surprising if MD didn't put them on their schedule.
Doo---Texas has and had great potential. I'm not sure about the coach in that I mean she does recruiting well and has good game plans and plays against many teams. I am not stating this as FACT only perception--she seems to have issues with "in game" adjustments.

That may be the truth. I'm sure most frosh will and sophs won't have the POY options. It remains to be seen how she fits in with or without injuries.\
But I'll settle for her getting it the next 3 years.

Evina the top point guard in this years class. One thing is Evina will start mainly out of need. Walker probably won't be starting this year.

Pretty much Charlieball above stated. I'd provide you with the same answer but---you and charlie speak the facts. Thanks.

Yes it would; transfers would triple. I still don't like the fact that players have limits and coaches don't.

I've long wondered if changing it to a one-semester "sit out" would bridge the gap between "utter bedlam" and the unfairness of "the fact that players have limits and coaches don't".
It would be an artificial solution, really not based on anything tangible, but might save face for each point of view.

When did Westbrook become a PG? Seems like she's always been considered a 2G, or maybe a combo.

Yeah and I thought Hayes was the PG in that class.

She can play either position. I probably should have said guard. I think Hayes and Westbrook will both play some pg.

BTW Tennessee has had a closed scrimmage against NC State.

I don't know, but I assumed most did. Before the current exhibition structure, RU did one free / one pay, the free one being against a "traveling team" of some sort, made up of ex-players. The pay one was against a foreign team.

I assume Arizona charges, it wasn't advertised as free, but we were not able to go and we have season tix anyhow.

Duke doesnt charge for its one exhibition or its scrimmage. .... they used to have a intra-squad scrimmage and two exhibition games..... but have eliminated one of the exhibition games for the past 2 years. Usually the exhibition opponents are schools from the Southeast..... the Carolinas, West Virginia (not really the southeast) , Georgia, Florida.... but this year Alaska-Anchorage came to Durham.
 


This is the same IUP squad that ND pounded 108-40. Last year Pitt beat IUP by 30 in an exhibition. Pitt may be horrifically bad this year.

I'm a little surprised that Suzie McConnell-Serio seems to be sliding backward at Pitt with little sign of gaining traction. After squeaking into the tournament 3 seasons ago and graduating that great guard they had (Kiesel sp?), they've been downright bad the last couple years. And they've been hit hard by the transfer bug: Two seasons ago Stasha Carey left for Rutgers, and last season their leading scorer, Brenna Wise, transferred to Indiana.

He said that because that's the position she has to play to make an impact. She's not a great shooter and needs the ball in her hands to create for others as well as herself.

Thanks again for alerting me to this preview show. There was an interesting interview with coach Stringer:

If I'm not mistaken Duke has had trouble selling tickets to regular home games. A GA season ticket which is still a pretty good seat is now $65.00, which comes to less than $4.00 a game and a reserved seat comes to less than $7.00 a game. What could they charge for an exhibition, $2.00?

Don't know, don't care. Its was free. Its always been free as far as I know. The money I saved on admission, I gladly used to purchase some mighty fine donuts and danishes on the way to Durham..... though I would have purchased them even if Duke had charged admission :p
 
Westbrook looks very good, with a nice shooting touch. I don't expect her to play PG at all.

Hayes also looks good and is very fast. She's the PG, at least for the future.

How much will they get coached up??

I think Davis has the best upside.
