Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 2952967, member: 9403"] Agreed with a lot of the analysis here. McGwire's high post presence got Hebard more looks inside, and Bando was more pass-oriented than Boley is - I'd say Boley attempts a shot about 50-75% of the time she gets the ball in her hands... she took 18 shots and had 2 assists. It feels weird saying this because she was a big part of what kept Oregon in the game with her 6/12 from outside, but the team just doesn't seem to gel as well with her on the floor. And Bando was much better on defense - Boley doesn't seem to add much there. So far, I don't understand how she was the no. 5 recruit her year. She's very solid, but it's crazy to think Jackie Young was no. 11 by comparison. Agreed that these teams + Cal will be top of the PAC. The key thing is scheduling: Stanford and Cal get the Oregon schools at home without the return away trip, so that's a big leg up for the Bay Area teams vis-a-vis the Oregon schools and ASU in terms of head-to-head records. I suspect the weekend the Oregon schools visit the Bay Area schools will decide the conference regular season title. BTW- former Huskie Courtney Ekmark is really having a great end to her college career at ASU, leading her team in three-point scoring and second on the team while juggling being a second-year law student at ASU! Very impressive. [/QUOTE]
