Jenna Staiti having a great game for the Bulldogs. She needs help from her teammates for the 2nd half....
 
Huge disparity in free throws giving the Gamecocks a boost. Boston totally took over the rebounding there for a bit - had 5 boards at the half, then grabbed 5 more over a 3-4 minute stretch there.....
 
UGA taking twice as many shots as USC in the 3rd Qtr., but not making much of them......

Grissett and Saxton are so strong coming off the bench for us. They are both mini-6th women for the team, even though Henderson is our official 6th-woman. And Amihere has great talent but she's so raw - she reminds me of a new-born colt or deer, all long limbs and not having her balance yet. But she's also impacted the game with 5 boards in 9 minutes.

But Saxton and Grissett are a combined 10-11 for 21 pts in 33 minutes. They bring that kind of contribution off the bench every game.....

Grissette really is one of my favorites. She has had a really nice year off the bench.

I remember how early in Lele's career at USC, fans were not impressed with her as she was fouling and turning the ball over too much. Amihere kind of reminds me of Lele when she was a freshman and sophomore. Lele has really stepped up her junior year....

Amihere's biggest thing will be to get a feel for the game.

bull in China shop right now, but I guess you could say LeLe was like that too.
 
Arkansas-TAMU will be interesting. Who you got?

Concerns about about TAMU chemistry?

Grissett looked like a truly elite player today. This year she’s finally showing that she is a top 25 player in her class.

Embarrassment of riches. SC will be one of the favorites for quite a while. And with Staley getting the National Team "recruiting bump", :eek:

I definitely think she could get into the draft conversation for next season. If she gets a reliable jump shot her ceiling would be limitless!

The only thing she’s missing. She can handle, pass, attack the basket and defend. She gets a jumpshot and a three and she’s a tough guard.

Was pleased to see Saxton take and make a jumper today. That short jumper is the next thing for her. She’s enjoying attacking off the bounce I see.
 
The Seniors Herbert-Harrigan and Harris led the way, with 16 and 15 pts respectively. Boston was strong in the 18 minutes she played, with 9 pts, 10 rebs, and 4 blocks.

The bench really came on strong: Saxton, Grissett, Henderson, and Amihere combined for 19-29 (.655) shooting for 40 pts, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 blocks and 7 steals. That reserve depth is what makes this team as strong as it is, IMO.....

Yes, also get her into an off-season strength & conditioning program and let her develop her body a bit. She came into USC early out of high school, but she was dealing with her ACL and so wasn't able to spend that opportunity by building strength for the physical SEC and college play. The "feel" will also help with adapting to the pace of the game too - to learn the moves quicker where she can move faster and more definite, and minimize that hesitation and extra thinking that results in the traveling turnovers and fumble-fingers she's dealt with this season.....

I think A&M will have the advantage inside, but they will need to play solid perimeter defense - Tolefree and Dungeee are playing very strong right now. If Arkansas lights A&M up from the outside that interior advantage for the Aggies may not matter much.....
 
Arky is cold to start the game. Their style of play is a double edge sword

Yes! Once Saxton get that free throw line jumper A’ja had she’ll be tough to stop as well.
