What is the deal with Betts? I don’t follow Stanford closely but it seems she has a hard tim getting minutes. I was also excited to see her.
Absolutely.
Stanford is stacked in the front court, she picked 1 of 2 schools where she'd have a hard time getting playing time off the bat (the other being South Carolina). Stanford basically has 80 minutes to split between Brink, Iriafen, Belibi, Betts and Prechtel unless they decide to play Brink at the 3.
Ahhh. I see! She seems pretty efficient when she does get minutes, I’ll be excited to see how she develops
The PAC12 is a tough conference. The games are physical and a grind. Stanford is just adjusting and they are not going anywhere. I think Jones had to figure out how to operate in the offense from the wing as opposed to usually finding herself at the top of the key. She's not standing around as much as she was a few weeks ago.If Stanford plays like they did against Arizona last night, focused and intentional, they are going to be tough to beat. I also noticed that when Stanford is winning, nobody talks about the need for a "true" point guard on that team.
YES!! I really enjoyed Betts getting some touches in the post yesterday. Like you said that high/low game was pretty good. Teams will have to double & triple Betts up before too long.
Even less than 80 when Jones spends time at the 4.
Wish OSU had this problem
I'm sold. I saw them up close. They made the hard shots look easy. They were quick, they rarely made mistakes. They blew me away.
Same problems at both locations or different issues? Both have had transfers both lost very key assistants. Can't see either AD putting them on the hot seat or taking an accessment of the programs with both being so football focused at both locations now. So what happens?
Oregon over here just breaking my heart! The Ducks kicked butt for that first quarter. The next three, a whole different team. Props to USC and Coach Gottlieb. That USC program is slowly inching up the PAC 12 standings and back into the national conversation after a long time. Coach Gottlieb is putting that program back on the map. One season at a time.
Winless in conference....it's a lock.
Not me. If one hasn't read up on what she has done to train and improve, that's on them.
USC is on the way up and they also just signed JuJu Watkins. Props to Coach Gottlieb
Wow. Yeah it is interesting why Oregon's NET rankings are higher than Souther Cal's NET rankings. I will have to do some research. I love Oregon and have never been a fan of any type of ranking system. There is always some element a team can use to manipulate to their advantage.
I personally feel that all computer rankings are too complex which is why Quad 1 wins minus losses is what I rely on. It, of course, the flaw in my system that I use the net computer to determine the Quads.
