Saturday Mar 5 conference games (merged threads)

[Orangutan]

She's 3-9 shooting with 0 assists in the 1st half.

 

[msf22b]

25-22 Mississippi St
What a mess

 

[EricLA]

She has talented skills, but she's not a good "basketball player".

 

[Orangutan]

Tennessee's offense, my goodness. 22 or 23 seconds of dribbling followed by a contested midrange jumper. And this is the "improved" version of Tennessee.

 

[sarals24]

Mark my words...she'll never win a championship at this level or the next.

 

[Kaizen]

She's 3-9 shooting with 0 assists in the 1st half.

She did not score any point in 2nd Q.
No way as Maya. Not even close.

 

[Replicant]

Made her Maya back and forth move to score a pure jumper
She's a talent, like her or not

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. - Calvin Coolidge

Persistence + determination + talent + teamwork = UConn Womens Basketball, Maya, Dee, Sue, et al........

Not to compare DD to MM, but I have seen Maya had terrible shooting game as well.

IF OSU doesn't hit their shots, they don't have the defense to stop their opponent. They have to be on point with their offense and outscore their opponents. Can't win a defensive game. Still a dangerous team if they're hitting shots.

 

[Plebe]

Can't believe this MSU/OSU game. The Spartans look good and are hitting tough shots.

OSU looks lost.

Mitchell went 4-18 from the floor. Alston had 0 points and only played 10 minutes. I believe she suffered an injury in the previous game.

 

[CCinCT]

DeShields out of the game now with a leg/ankle injury.

On a side note - has anyone ever seen Mercedes Russell actually run ?

 

[Replicant]

B. Graves is the most vertically-challenged Big I can recall. Don't think you could slide a dime under her sneakers when she elevates.

 

[Vowelguy]

The guy announcing with her is aweful too.

I think Paul Sunderland is really good.

 

[Replicant]

Diamond with a miraculous recovery...Oh the drama!

 

[Plebe]

OSU is a 'one trick pony'...as Mitchell goes, so goes OSU. Today she took 28% of their total shots and shot 22%!

Not really true. Alston usually scores a lot for them as well. She had 0 points in only 10 minutes of play. I believe she suffered an injury in the previous game.

 

[UcMiami]

Mitchell went 4-18 from the floor. Alston had 0 points and only played 10 minutes. I believe she suffered an injury in the previous game.

She tried to go with what looked like a pretty seriously sprained wrist (it was sure wrapped up heavily.)

Tennessee's offense, my goodness. 22 or 23 seconds of dribbling followed by a contested midrange jumper. And this is the "improved" version of Tennessee.

Yes - this version actually gets shots up about 85% of the time versus the old 'bad' offense that was throwing the ball away about 35% of the time instead of shooting.

 

[msf22b]

Mississippi's Vivian kid, taking the game over

 

[SCGamecock]

I think Paul Sunderland is really good.

I like you as a poster but.... Lol.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The other Tennessee team showed up tonight--not the one of the past week, but the one of the prior 6-8 weeks. They are shooting 11-41.

 

[rugbymate]

the list of horribles for DD include a 39% `FG%, 24.4% 3pt-fg%, A/T below any top 25 team and a steal/turnover ratio that implies she gives away twice the possessions that she gains....so what if she has a nifty move here and there, she should be on the bench and make room for someone who can respect their teammates and add value to the team

 

[calpedaler]

Miss St. is gagging at the moment.

 

[Plebe]

She tried to go with what looked like a pretty seriously sprained wrist (it was sure wrapped up heavily.)

Well, at least she has about a week and a half to get the wrist better.

 

[Replicant]

Miss State's only chance is to keep a 5-10 pt lead because it looks like the SEC office sent a memo to the refs. Save TN. Graves just cut the hamstrings of the Miss player trying for the steal (no call) and DD just traveled, but was given FTs on a phantom foul.

 

[Replicant]

Both clubs completely fatigued...barely able to get up and down. Good luck facing UConn ladies if you should be that unlucky!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Mississippi State post players are making my hair fall out!!
