Other games 11/24

I think that most UCONN fans would take on average 13 points a game, so far this season, coming off the bench. (It's just sad that all of this might not have had to have to happen, if things might have been handled differently. "Maybe" this is why many of the Top 100 recruits are no longer choosing UCONN as their destination, albiet UCONN got a gem in Aubrey Griffin)

I question what the purpose of this post could be. First, I would suggest that if AEH was still here she would not be averging 13 points a game off the bench. Second, I believe all UConn fans would like to see her still here. Unfortunately, she is not because of something that happened that Geno would not tolerate. From what I have read he gave her chances to correct the problem and she did not do so. So why is Geno the bad guy. And third, to speculate that that affected the decisions of the players Geno was recruiting is silly especially given that the one recruit he got was from her high school.

One last point - it really bothers me when people suggest that Ossinging recruits have been unsuccessful. Chong showed promise as a freshman but had numerous injuries that inhibited her growth as a player and value to the team. As a senior she was a valued started who was drafted and made a WNBA roster. I would not consider that a failed UConn career. Besides a sample of two previous players is hardly a valid sample to draw conclusions.
 
Good for Drake, but dang it, don't want OSU's win over SC to get devalued. 3 losses already this year?

Quit being such a homer for a moment and be happy for what a mid-major just accomplished.

Geno is not the bad guy. Choices were made and AEH is now playing at Miss St making WBB more fascinating this year. Good decision for both Geno and AEH. VERY GOOD for WCBB

Cooper had an amazing game, a career-high 31 points before fouling out late in OT.

Drake was very impressive handling SC's defensive pressure for the most part. Becca Hittner is supposed to be their best player, but today's MVP was post player Sara Rhine, who scored 25 points off the bench. She simply killed SC on the inside.

I’m predicting #19 for SC at the next poll.

Then when Baylor beats them on 12/2 they will jump back up into the top 10. Because anytime an SEC team loses to a higher ranked team they always climb up in the polls because it was a good loss.

Oh wait, maybe that's just in football.
 
I expect Drake to crack the polls. They were receiving votes and played ND decent and beat South Carolina. Their third P5 win along with victories over Rutgers and Nebraska.

Travesty if they don’t. A sheer OUTRAGE!!!!!

They will almost definitely be top 25. They were already 4th among teams receiving votes. And both Missouri and South Florida are almost certain to drop out, making even more room for them.

Oregon 79-55 over St. Mary's at the St. Mary's Thanksgiving Classic. Graves cannot be happy about this one, since, of the starters, only Ionescu, for whom this was a homecoming game, seemed ready to play for much of the game, although Sabally did end up with a nice line: 13 pts., 8 rebounds, and 6 steals.. Hebard, particularly, looked lethargic and out of sorts.

Does Sabrina get a homecoming game as a junior because she may go to the pros next year?

No. Just Graves trying to be a good players coach. He also scheduled a homecoming game in Alaska, Hebard’s home state, earlier in the year.

South Carolina lost 3 games in the past week and you'd still have to say it was a great week for the program.
Expand ...

Maybe, but this is what makes Geno the greatest of all time, when was the last time UCONN lost three games in one week?
 
Just got home.....

South Carolina got beat by a Rapper? :eek:

If I were a MD fan I surely would keep away from following transfers
Lexi Brown leaving cost MD 2 final four trips
Destiny Slocum leaving messed up last year
Kiara Leslie shot and tormented MD from reaching the Sweet 16 with 21 points 11 reb and holding Charles to 4 total points which was 14 below her season avg.
Gillespie will shine at Fl St
Yes for sanity reasons I would not follow how transfers are doing. Few have had more costly transfers than MD in recent years

I agree with you. Maryland has had many transfers that went on to a solid career at other universities. But I don't mind watching these players once in awhile. The fans were attached to them while at Maryland and in many cases it wasn't the player fault why they transferred.

It wasn’t the school’s fault either. Brown wanted to play in the ACC, and Slocum wanted to be closer to home.

It’s going to be close. Iowa St deserves the first spot open, and if Northwestern wins today against Tennessee-Martin, they have a claim at a spot too.

“Wasn’t a fit” is pretty vague. Could cover a number of reasons.

Well she was willing to go to Baylor and I believe looked at Arkansas after transferring. I don’t think it was homesickness.

Moms know their kids better than anybody, agree?

“She is super homesick,” Christina Slocum told the Idaho Statesman on March 21.

A lot of kids don’t like to admit they are homesick. They fear it might be viewed as a weakness or “being a baby”. That might explain all the vaguery around why she left Maryland. I don’t know what it is. I had all this individual and team success at Maryland, but it just wasn’t a fit.
