Message: [QUOTE="Pinhead, post: 3348290, member: 9002"] The Beehive State's women's basketball rendition of the holy war was on BYU TV last night. Lots of youngsters out there. At times it seemed like the only seasoned player on the floor was the Cougar guard Paisley Johnson who led all scorers with 19. While 6'7" BYU big Sara Hamson is a defensive force in the paint, if she possessed Johnson's swagger she'd be unstoppable. Alas, while she demonstrated some uncharacteristic rebounding aggression toward the end of the game, that doesn't seem to be a regular part of her repertoire. Cougars sorely miss medical redshirt guard Shaylee Gonzales. Utah freshman guard Brynna Maxwell led the Utes with 18 and her quick release is as advertised. Highly-touted 6'4" Ute freshman Lola Pendande looked lost and intimidated by Hamson's size. Ute forward Andrea Torres was solid as usual and Ola Makurat as well. Guard Dru Gylten missed a handful of clutch free-throws toward the end of regulation that might have avoided OT. Utes seemed to have survived the loss of their graduated all-star Megan Huff and transfer of Dre'una Edwards. Utah coach Lynn Roberts was rolling an interesting full 5-player line change. As usual, some questionable officiating, likely impacting BYU more than Utah. A comment regarding attendance... while the Cougars regularly pack South Field for women's soccer (RIP after 5-1 loss to Stanford in Elite 8), and standing room only throngs at Smith Field House for women's volleyball, the crowd at the Marriott Center looked comparatively small for this game. Holiday perhaps? [/QUOTE]
