Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2614209, member: 7492"] On the Oregon “snub” as you interpreted, I think they are probably where they belong in the ranking, 6th, 7th or 8th. I have seen them 5 times this year and Sabrina is absolutely deserving ng of her accolades, I am not as impressed with Heberd, Bando, Sabally, McGuire to hold up a full orchestrated offensive game. They lack speed and committed defense. I definitely see a tiering of the top teams so if you feel I disparaged them as a threat, I am sorry but I really don’t think they are a threat. As far as MSU, I was shocked at how poor MCCowan performed against Wilson and in the 4 games of theirs I have seen this year, she has disappeared at times. As noted by our MSU colleague, it is Vivians who is the Alpha on that team. They are good as 32-1 demonstrates but their defense is not as stifling as last year and they are not as deep, plus we have a very mobile and lithe Center in Z who Teira will have a hard time against. I am ABSOLUTELY standing by the comment that KLS is the only one who can create her own shot. Geno stated it, I have watched this team all year and firmly believe it. Z would be the next best bet with her height and moves. Gabby’s Outside shot is too suspect, Pheesa against big bigs like the 6’7 McCown or Brown and the 6’4 Cox will have some issues as she’s has shown. She does possess a developing outside shot but that is not consistent yet. As evidence go and look at the Texas game with their bigs: Gabby 7 point, Pheesa 9 points. Thanks for your input but I still think MY order of concern is #1 Baylor a distant #2 is ND close behind is MSU at #3, big Gap then Texas/Louisville then Oregon and then the field. [/QUOTE]
