good for heather. but my point was that she has no one to blame but herself for not getting off the bench vs. Stanford.

Yes, but your example was from this game and she has been playing well the previous two games. I would expect her offensive aggressiveness tonight is from not getting in and now forcing the issue.

not sure what team you are following but it can't be UCONN. UCONN's last game was Stanford, so Heather did NOT play well the last 2 games as she did not get off the bench vs. Stanford, hence her comments that Kara quoted. my point remains that Heather is now clearly behind freshman Stokes on the depth chart, a kid she's 2 years older than.

Jane, did you try manually lowering the speed?

Yes. I lowered it and that's how I got the underwater effect. It still froze, but not as much. I have checked my adobe flash, I have the proper version, I checked the settings, they are at recommended settings, I lowered the speed, I manually upped the speed, I did everything but get out and push.

Don't mean to be so crabby, ice. Just frustrated
 
Come on you know I meant the two previous games she did play and everyone was commenting on how well she played. Don't be so pissy. Obviously she didn't play against Stanford since that was your whole point. And your comment about Stokes is self evident.

I can see why some folks are not enamored with women's basketball. 6'4", 6'3", and 6'2" players missing layups. Drives me to distraction. Why do women have soooooo much trouble with layups?

One thing I have noticed is that women seem to get themselves too far under the basket or too shallow an angle to properly use the board.

no, i don't. seeing as you are arguing with me over a quote heather apparently made to kara, i'm a bit mystified about what you are even arguing about. Geno apparently does NOT feel heather played well - at least not well enough to get in vs. Stanford. so maybe you feel heather is playing well, but the guy who's opinion matters saw fit not to play her. i'm still not sure what you are arguing about or disagreeing with.
 
Lauren like last year, still hasn't seen a shot she doesn't like. :)

Besides the win, the only good that will come out of this game is that all 11 roster players will play double digit in minutes.

You are simply stating the obvious and the unnecessary about Heather. Glass half empty all the time.

To me they seem to miss from all angles and positions. Even Tina blew numerous layups. They must hurry their shots. But why would they against a team like UFD?

Brianna Banks the high scorer with 17. anyone predict that??!!!

Another thing to remember is that they are not taking those lay ups from rim level like the men. Many times they are shooting the lay up upwards on a very sharp and shallow angle that doesn't generate much rebound off the board. But you are right they all missed many more. They, also, do not handle physical contact as well.

E-mail their help desk. That's what I did. Now my picture is fine.

WIll try that next. I think maybe I saw 7 minutes of the second half. the good news is that it freezes during the breaks, too
 
Geno and others have said the smaller ball size has some impact on the number of layup and other shots missed. I suspect many of the shots that bounce in and out of the basket would go in with the larger ball.

In the mens game many of the layups would be dunks.
 
Goodbye, Harriet, signing off of Hoopstreams.

I think it is psychological. Only a few high school boys play above the rim yet they have little or no trouble making layups. Even Geno has said he is mystified by this. Actually, it seems the bigger the women player, the worse they are at making layups. Certainly some of it is techique. These banked layups that go as high as the top of the banking board are most strange. The Banks, Lewises, and Moores don't have this problem. Perhaps it is an overall lack of coordination. Whatever it is, as a whole they are terrible. It does distract from the game.

It really is getting awfully tough watching garbage like this 20 times a year. I was asleep by the first time out and woke up to see the beggars..
 
This has to be the worst game thread ever!!! There was more bickering about Heather's lack of playing time than actual discussion of the game!

This was a very difficult game to watch. Continued poor shooting from the Stanford game. UCONN's defense wasn't as good, FDU shouldn't have been allowed to score 20 considering the talent level and 2 of their players injured.

Nothing to discuss in the game, Dave, it was flat out horrible. The first half was one thing but the second was simply off the charts.
 
Fair weather fan or true blue? Which are you?
Even crabbing about my ability to watch the game, I am true blue. I have a small window each year to watch this team, and good or bad I am going to watch them. If I expect perfection each time, I would have to lower my expectations. I look for little things, and try to see the good in the less than good.

But I am not going to complain (Hoopstreams notwithstanding). Like I said, I get to see these girls play for a limited time each year, and I am going to make the most of each and every game.

Also, I know that I am not perfect, and I do not perform to my optimum each and every day. If I did, then I feel that I could have the right to criticize anyone else who did not.

As for the fund raising, you have volume control, and if you must know, without the funds they raise, you would have nothing to watch at all, good or bad.

Rant over
