Scoring isn't everything. Nika had 8 boards 11 assists, 2 blocks, 5 steals, and a plus/minus of 58.

Try big six - scoring isn't everything. Nika led the team in assists, steals and blocks and was second in rebounds.

great minds - typing as you were .

Dorka looked great out there tonight. So glad to see. She didn't just make shots they were confident swish shots even from 3. Something our bigs just didn't have in their game last year. Dorka might be able to change that this year.

Overall though, everyone always looks good in a game like this right? The real question is who looks good against a team like Texas. I remain convinced that the core of Dorka, AE, Azzi, Lou and Caroline is the key. With Ayanna and Nika getting the bulk of the sub PT. That core is going to be able to score with any team.

 

[TeamFirst!]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ayanna earns equal PT with AE and Dorka. That rebounding and hustle would really help this team of perimeter shooters and back door specialists.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ayanna had a little difficulty putting the ball in the hoop but she got almost every loose ball and rebound.

 

[WFFL]

What’s up with Amari? This is suppose to be the year she takes a big leap?

 

[MilfordHusky]

For those who have been skeptical, I'll repeat myself: Lou is a bucket!

 

[HuskyNan]

Ayanna had a little difficulty putting the ball in the hoop but she got almost every loose ball and rebound.

She will learn to pass out of double teams. That can be taught. Aggressiveness and effort can’t

 

[MilfordHusky]

The team shot 14-29 from the arc--and Caroline didn't play. This could be a really good shooting team!

 

[MilfordHusky]

I thought it was a good opportunity for Aubrey to get a little rust off. She has skills.

[TeamFirst!]

Lou = ZERO turnovers in 31 minutes of PT. She's a player who can help us win. 1st game with the team. Huge crowd. Zero turnovers on top of overall solid play.

 

[CL82]

Ayanna had a little difficulty putting the ball in the hoop but she got almost every loose ball and rebound.

She was too deep for a lot of those. A little bit of experience will tell her she’s better off kicking that out.

What’s up with Amari? This is suppose to be the year she takes a big leap?

Even though it was just an exhibition, it was very disappointing regarding Amari. It doesn’t make any sense to me why she seems to be struggling to find her role in the system. All the skills are there—similar shooting range to Dorka, similar size/length. She seemingly even has some of the vision that made ONO such a terrific post passer. All the pieces are there for her to be successful but it’s not coming together for some reason. Someone else mentioned her energy and effort just doesn’t seem to be at the same level as the rest of the team and I suspect that’s part of the struggle in practice that Geno has mentioned in the past.Seems like a great kid but it’s this year or never to start making meaningful contributions.

 

[Plebe]

Didn't see the game, but just looking at minutes, it's striking that everyone played at least 20 minutes except two players, one of them Amari with 10.

Obviously it's nice to see multiple players putting up 17+ points. And I'm loving the 11 assists from Nika. She actually wasn't far from a triple-double.

Who said this is suppose to be the year she takes a big leap? Has Geno said that?

Whose minutes would be reduced so Amari could have more? Even against Kutztown State and Caroline not playing, Amari only had 10. If Ice hadn't gotten injured Amari would get very little PT. When Geno decided to put her in the game today that was a pretty good indicator of his assessment.

If it was expected for incoming freshmen to play more than a sophomore who knows the system at this point , thats not a great sign for that players future.

 

[Centerstream]

Kinda interesting that Kutztown took 3 FTs in the 1st quarter and 0 in the last 3 quarters. I would say that was a great defensive effort.

 

[JellyBean]

Love it when there is so much balanced scoring. I just love the whole "Strength in Numbers" mindset and in this game, given it was an exhibition game against a DII school, it just makes your team that dangerous. Also, points in the paint. 50! Nice

 

[Zinethar]

It wasn't long ago when Geno lamented that there was no one on the team that could shoot or score. Wow has that seemed to have changed!
