Cameron Brink, Stanford's elite sophomore, dropped 21 points and grabbed 22 rebounds! That is some stat sheet. OK, OK, she missed 5 of her 6 free throws. Big deal.

Stanford will be most dangerous late in the tournament. But we already knew that.

Late March should be fun.

I think we are down to 2 undefeated teams in the top 10–only 2 weeks into the season.

She took 24 shots. That could be 2x her previous career high.

That’s to be expected when top teams play top teams. When 1 plays 2, only one of them can remain undefeated. This is how it should be.

Brink also has 5 asts, 5 blks and 5 TOs ... a good day for her.

Just curious. How many did UConn play against SC? We played 10.

And as I commented in the game Chat Room, they didn't seem to skip a beat (or is it miss a beat?) no matter who was on the floor.

Caveat: not sure if any of the 12 were Freshmen tho.

UConn played 9 players at SC game. But the benches only scored 2 pts.

I think 2 Fr. played at least briefly--Iriafen and Demetre.

McLean and Muhl played 3 minutes each, and Fudd only 10, so playing 9 is a bit misleading. Stanford had 8 players with 16 minutes or more and another who played 9 minutes.

I doubt if she would do that in UConn's system. Tall players seem to develop faster in other systems. I wonder why that is. Lee, Cunnane, Brink, Boston, and Juhasz before she came to UConn. Compare them to Olivia. Something seems off.

Even McLean and Muhl each played only 3 mins they were still in the game. Why it is misleading I don't get it?

If you are asking meaningful mins then it is 7 not 9.

Not sure why you mentioned UConn here no one else did

If the premise behind the conversation is the use of the bench, 9 is misleading to me. If it is not to you, it’s not to you.

The question is from @TC22 "Just curious. How many did UConn play against SC? We played 10." No mentioned about bench at all.

It is to me 9 but not to you.

Wow. So I guess what you are implying is that Geno and CD (and now Jamelle) don't know how to develop big players? Interesting thoughts.

But I don't buy what you're selling...

Only because I wanted to. Did I need your permission?

When was the last one in the past five years? Don't tell me about what used to be.

In the last five years, who are you referring to besides Liv?
Aaliyah did quite well last year under the tutelage of the coaches and I believe that her play so far this year has been impacted by her summer away from Storrs.
I can't think of any other "bigs" in the last 5 seasons unless you want to include transfers.

No. [ ] Just had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the thread
