OLIVIA

[EricSD]

One of the best things to come out of Olivia's game is that she had 12 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks AND no personal fouls!

She got into foul trouble pretty quick with ND and has had problems with that in earlier games. Can't just look at the results from 1 game and say "problem solved", but it's certainly nice to see her trending that way (to less fouls)...

I don't know how high her ceiling is, but as with Christyn, she is fast becoming a fan favorite and we are so blessed to be able to enjoy watching them grow and mature for the next 3.5 years!

Collier is a senior and still gets into early foul trouble like she did against ND, and she's a senior. How many times did Gabby get caught with her hand in the cookie jar in the first half last year? It happens. Some players lose focus and start reaching and grabbing, while others are able to maintain their discipline and composure and play without fouling. Asia Durr (Louisville) is good about not fouling. So was Moriah Jefferson, or was she so fast that she could foul and the refs didn't see it?

These recent days have been great. Winning at ND in the fashion we did and finally having people notice AO's dirty play (after other games besides UCONN) and now with Muffet getting skewered on twitter just kind of blowing up. Our freshman are growing before our eyes and couldn't be greater examples of the UCONN way and the way they are taught to play and act. So proud of the UCONN program. This after a little disappoint from the recruiting misses.

I think Mo Jeff was a master of sleight of hand. Possibly the fastest player I’ve seen.

Exactly. If I were her, I'd find a way to spend a couple days with Stewart during her off season and learn that jump hook with both hands. No other big post in the country that I've seen has it to both sides and at 6-5 it's unstoppable. With her coordination it wouldn't take long at all.

One thing for sure, Stewie won't be busy reading Muffet's tweets. So she might be able to help ONO.

Olivia has the same build as Natasha Howard. I don't think Natasha has a strength problem. Perhaps, Stewie could arrange for Natasha to work with Olivia.

If only Olivia could dunk.
