Message: [QUOTE="LoTrader, post: 2539078, member: 8404"] Whoa! Gonna have to vehemently disagree with statement "Pivec is a selfish player". Pivec is not a natural point guard, and had been asked to play the point (which is not her natural, or, preferred position on the court). Pivec's freshman year, she played off the ball, and that is where she is a delight to watch. She has the freedom to catch and shoot, or, penetrate, which she absolutely is capable (and very good) at doing from the wing. It has been hard on her to have to play point. I think Rueck saw last night, it is much better to have Aleah Goodman play the point vs Pivec. Pivec is actually an unselfish player. Aleah Goodman, after the 1st few minutes settled down, and played like a point guard, making solid entry passes, and, hitting the open shot when it was available. Aleah is still learning things like taking on a 6' 4" center at the rim requires a bit more skill than required in high school. Aleah will get there. Pivec will fill up the stat sheet (with good stats) the more she is allowed to play wing. Not worried one bit about Pivec making solid contributions the rest of this season. Scott Rueck is still figuring out his 7 best players. My two cents is: Gulich, McWilliams, Pivec, Corosdale, Tudor, Kalmer, and Goodman. I would not give so many minutes to Maddie Washington, and give those minutes to Kalmer. Lastly, I was impressed the way OSU stayed in the game during the 2nd half. At this point, OSU needs to make sure they play out the rest of the season getting in the top 16 seeding so they can host the 1st 2 NCAA playoff games. Finally, congratulations to the Ducks, they are a fine team, and I look forward to the PAC12 tearing it up in the NCAA Tournament. I don't think anyone is expecting much out of the PAC12, but I believe UO, OSU, and UCLA will make some significant noise come tournament time. [/QUOTE]
