Texas A&M @ Southern California - 12/15/17

[Plebe]

USC really needed a Moriah-like player to faceguard Carter. She was just too much.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'll go way out on a limb and say that not many freshmen will score 44 points in a single game this year.

 

[JordyG]

If this goes to OT does Carter have enough in the tank?

 

[Plebe]

Horrible inbounds play by the Aggies for the TO. 24 secs left, USC ball.

A&M looked like Texas on that inbounds play.

Not many will have to for their team to survive.

 

[JordyG]

Sadie Ice Water Edwards the 3 at 20 secs then Carter at the other end the drive and pull up. Aggies win 75-74.

 

[Mdoggie]

Is this the second coming of a Mitchell like player?

 

[JordyG]

Exciting game y'all! WE LOVE WCBB! I'd rather watch either of these two teams any day than Tennessee or Texas. A tired Carter earned this win. Yet this is the first game of their road trip. She can't score 46 (!) every night.

 

[Plebe]

What a finish. That was pretty darn exciting. Mazyck misses the game-winning shot and Moore misses a putback at the buzzer.

 

[Plebe]

My only big criticism of USC is that they never made anyone else for A&M handle the ball. When one player is scoring two-thirds of a team's points, you gotta try to deny her touches.

 

[JordyG]

Is this the second coming of a Mitchell like player?

She's a better shooter than Mitchell. Kennedy's passing is suspect, but she plays pretty good defense, better than Mitchell. Kennedy also seems as if she's willing to let other people shine. Mitchell has the size, speed and athleticism however.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sadie nailed TWO 3-pointers in the final 27 seconds to get her team the lead, but they had no answer for Chennedy Carter.

Carter had 46 points. The rest of the team had 29. She shot 17-28. Her teammates shot 10-37.

Chennedy (very unorthodox spelling) doesn't have quite the pure blow-by speed that Mitchell has, but she has more finesse IMO.

I so agree. But again, it's what has made Mitchell's college career. Kennedy is a better outside shot than Mitchell and she only made one ill advised drive the entire game. In fact, after the first period she drove to the hoop maybe 4x. Talented young lady.

 

[triaddukefan]

Exciting 4 quarter.... whew. Wish there was more in attendance to enjoy such a game.

I wonder what the UCONN freshmen think when they see other freshmen getting the opportunity to play and shine; some who they know are not any better than they are. I know they know what they signed up for and will be better players for it but, I still wonder what goes through their minds when they see other freshmen playing a lot. Oh well,____

I believe that any recruit who chooses UConn knows she is almost certainly forgoing the opportunities for immediate playing time and stats that would be available to them in other programs.

I wonder what other freshman think when the look at Uconn Freshman playing at the FF and they have been sitting at home for the last 3 weeks? And then I also wonder what they are thinking as they contemplate looking for work 3 years later while they watch the WNBA draft.

A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Ionescu, Candace Parker and so many more players who are in the WNBA would disagree. They were not sitting at home during the FF. Very seldom do UCONN freshmen play at the FF. Seeing how there are four teams in the FF, UCONN is not the only team that has freshmen at the FF.

 

[donalddoowop]

I agree. But that does not keep them from wondering. They should not wonder but it's human nature for some people to wonder about a decision they made. Any player who commits to UCONN should know that there is the probability they will not get many meaningful playing time during their freshman year. But as I stated, I agree with you Plebe.
