Week 1!!! 11/3-11/9

No Okananwa for Duke either who would’ve been a starter and likely a go to scorer.

Ugly first game, kind of what you’d expect from a team like Duke that doesn’t prioritize offense. They’ll improve and be fine. Bummer we didn’t get to see Skinner or Roberson.

Taliah Scott has gone the radar after a hot start 2 years ago in Arkansas but she was by far the best player on the court today. Early dark horse contender for Big 12 POY.

I think this is a huge loss for them. She was a budding star.

Tessa Johnson looked stellar last night, seems to be in line for a huge season for South Carolina. Can create her own jumper from anywhere on the floor.

Raven Johnson looks to have improved offensively. Time will tell. If it holds, those two and Latson form a likely top-3 backcourt in the country.

I noticed that Somfai had good stats in her first game for Stanford.

The Molly Miller era begins. CTT is smiling and the energy is back to Desert Financial. Passion enthusiasm and most of all defense with a huge D. 4000 in the house. Amazing electricity all night.

Take aways

Trademark Miller D.18 steals, 90 feet, constant in your face swarming defense

Former Reb Brackens was all that

10 in the first quarter and clutch down the stretch Washenitz was the leading scorer.

There is a winning culture in Tempe again!

The curtain of distraction was 8-13 in the second half

The Devils lack a point guard



In other news Don Staley called off the dogs but Winston Grandy received the anticipated beatdown in South Carolina.

The Jacks traveled to the Pit and got mauled.

And the kitties, ahhhhh. They open at home on the 5th and, get this play their first 12 at McKale!

I'll drive down to the dirty t on the 21st to see them play the Jacks.

25-24 Pack over Tennessee after the 1st

Been a break neck pace. Polar opposite teams as far as rotations. State has had 1 sub all quarter. Tennessee has probably had 15 or more.

Interested to see if State continues to push pace and run, that's what Tennessee wants and at some point fatigue probably sets in for State. Overall Zoe and Zam have handled the pressure just fine and routinely found the open player down court. A couple of forced shots from Zoe IMO. But entertaining first 10 minutes.

Qadence Samuels started for the Wolfpack and is playing really well.

And now we see why Wes was hesitant to go to the bench much. The 2 freshmen looked like....well freshmen playing their first game. Lunan and Jernigan both coughing up the ball against the press and taking some poor shots. State's bench not having a good showing so far at all.
