Breanna's role is changing. May cost her POY.
But wth, we'll get another NC for it.
About half of her turnovers were not on passes at all but on offensive fouls (mostly moving screens!) She seemed to get called for a few almost every game.It was one game... Also it was a blow out and Geno decide to let the bench get extended minutes. Breanna didn't really get a chance to get "her shots" in the second half.
Re Dolson: I find it interest how the Legend of Stephanie Dolson continues to grow. Yes she was decent passer (good for a post player), but I think folks are starting to make it out to be better then it was... For her career, she had 378 assist and 358 turnovers. Yes her senior year she had (135 assist 3rd on the team), but she also had 103 turnovers (20 more then anyone else). Her 358 turnovers rank 5th time behind Abrosimova (428), Weideman (416), Rizzotti (407), and Hartley (367). Yup, lots of pretty passes for buckets... but she also threw the ball away a lot...
Who the heck is Weideman? Obviously it has to be someone in the very early days of Geno or maybe even before but she had to get a lot of minutes in order to have that many turnovers.It was one game...

Ahhhh... Dolson more often revered for her personality rather than performance, I loved both. Not given enough credit among the stars she made shine ala Jamelle Elliott..."About half of her turnovers were not on passes at all but on offensive fouls (mostly moving screens!) She seemed to get called for a few almost every game."
Geno commented when Dolson was getting called for screen fouls that often appeared based more on her size than on her actions, or even just crossing her arms to protect from the imminent impact, something like "they should just start her with three fouls and be done with it." Dolson could anticipate, had great footwork, and was willing to take the bruises for something that, as they say, doesn't show up in the box score. In fact, it can only be a negative stat: no credit for succeeding, and a foul if you fail Only the boneyarders know the real score here: She made her teammates better.

Stewie wanted that record (or tie) for K last night. I think she is channeling her "for the greater good" tendencies in order to help her team grow. She knows she can get the points if she needs or wants to. By the time she graduates, I think Geno will say she is a complete all-around player, much more than a shooter. And his compliments like that don't come too often (see his comments about KML's total game in yesterday's presser).
Agree 100%. Now not to disagree here but I think Geno and the coaching staff had a get this disrupting crap over with game plan. She was fed the ball at every opportunity and took 19 shots in twenty minutes. The record tied, it will happen soon. 7 for 19 from the floor over all.Stewie wanted that record (or tie) for K last night.
