Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2489328, member: 3535"] I'm not upset. Why do you say I'm upset? Because I said "laughable" and used CAPS? A bit high-strung sometimes-- There are times one makes points that they think are right but don't feel strongly. There are other times one makes what they feel a strong pov. [B]Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry that you didn't list Og over Nurse. I saw Nurse as 5 and Og higher -so I thought that's what you did. Sorry bbaallnut!:):):)[/B] As far as Kia Nurse -- UCONN has been threatened in two - 3 games.. The ND game and the Oklahoma/ UCLA game. I don't agree your mention of Stanford. I know you'll mention Oklahoma is not so good. But UCONN was threatened vs Okie - at least they were number 2 or 3 in terms of threat than any other team not named ND (and maybe UCLA) so far. UCONN blew out UCLA in the 3rd quarter . As for Stanford, they are not a big game so far this year-- in name only. UCONN was up 49-14 at halftime. Up by 16 at the end of 1st qtr. While Oklahoma is 5-6 and Stanford 6-6 imo you don't count the game that is a complete and total rout 1st qtr on. That's not a big game if the score was never close other than 0-0. If you are going to include Stanford, then you include all of the games. In the Oklahoma game the score was 51-44 and with 4:21 left Oklahoma had the ball. We're not going to count this Oklahoma game vs Stanford in which UCONN was up by 35 at halftime? The Stanford stats are more relevant? In the Oklahoma game- Geno pulled Dangerfield with score 51-44 with 4:21 left and at the moment with Kia switching positions running the team. Okie could have cut it to 5. The game wound up being a blowout. So when you said "that's all she does" - well she is a pg too. So if we add the Oklahoma game in and take out Stanford-- she is averaging 15.5 ppg and her EFG% is 68.42%. She turned around game being the pg. She outplayed Og head-to head. Her team has played a tougher schedule. Her team is Undefeated and number 1 in the nation. At this early stage she deserves the higher ranking than Og. Og is superior offensively to Nurse by taking more shots and missing. Anyhow even California should be mentioned above Stanford. And in that game Kia was also terrific. So while you overrate Stanford as a big game imo Oklahoma and California outshine Stanford. Winning THE MOST counts. HEAD-TO-HEAD counts. Efficiency at historical levels counts. In summary- a guard getting more rebounds than another guard counts in Og's favor but not that much. Nurse as a guard shoots the ball better and she passes better while playing the tougher schedule. - and played better head-to-head. It's one thing if Nurse was only averaging 8-10 ppg. But she is 2nd on team in scoring at over 16. [/QUOTE]
