"Sigh. Why can't people check the box score before criticizing Tiff? When I last checked, she scored 10 points (a lot of them down the stretch, when no one else was scoring), a bunch of rebounds and steals. Plus she played her usual excellent defense. By the way, 10 points meant she was UC's second leading scorer."
I like TH, but using the box score without looking at the play by play doesn't show the whole picture. Actually, she had 3 points(3-4 FT) in the last 7 minutes of regulation . She added 3 points in OT, again on 3-4 FT, 2 of those when the game was pretty much over. She really wasn't much of a factor on O throughout the game and picked up 2 very early fouls, something you'd hope your most experienced player could avoid, So she sat on the bench for most of the first half, from which vantage point she was no help on D, forgetting about any scoring she might have done. My point was that there were a lot of comments about this player didn't do this, or that player didn't do that, and Tiff, being the most experienced player on the team, wasn't picking up any slack. IMHO (pardon the expression) the team needs her to be on the floor and productive against the better teams. Bria is very good, but she isn't going to score 25 every night and it remains to be seen if Kelly can be counted on for 8 or so a game. I'm talking about against the better teams, the 5 or so who can really contend with us.
