Week 1 games (Nov. 25-29)

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. about to start streaming (also Pac 12 site), unfortunately against an NAIA opponent.

edit--starters Jones, Corosdale, Mack, Goodman, Goforth

 

[eebmg]

Looking forward to DePaul / TAMU 5PM. Hope the feed is good.

This is a good time for me to point out that I had South Dakota State ranked ahead of Iowa State on my BY25 ballot . The Jacks take down the Cyclones 76-69, surviving significant foul trouble in the process, as 3 starters ended up fouling out.

Myah Selland, whom I've been talking up at every opportunity, posts a highly efficient 19 points in just 23 minutes, plus 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists and a steal to boot.

Ashley Joens goes off for 35 and 12 in the losing effort. She made a major living at the FT line (14-15) but wasn't greatly efficient from the field (9-22). The rest of ISU's players were an awful 11-40 FG.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Different starters for 2nd half for Ducks. Chavez, Giomi and Sabally out there w/ Shelley and Boley.

 

[JDuro]

Did Dawn recruit her? (Sorry, I'm not a big recruiting follower.)

Word was SC was among teams recruiting her after her transfer. I don’t recall her among the names of players SC was recruiting out of high school.

Having any luck? I'm getting the dreaded "technical difficulties." Sigh.

From the box score it appears Jordan Nixon started for A&M and Destiny Pitts already came in off the bench. No sign of Zaay Green yet (was she ever ruled eligible?).

 

[SCGamecock]

Did Dawn recruit her? (Sorry, I'm not a big recruiting follower.)

As a transfer we did. Not sure if we did out of high school. She was at the top of our list for transfers. Lots of mutual interest.. but Oregon won out. Great pairing as well.

Nope. Same here.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ragged start for Oregon St. Up 19-10 thru Q1, but this should be a 120-40 kind of game.

edit--ragged is kind; Montana St. just went up 24-23 in Q2.

So Oregon State is in a nip and tuck battle against a team from Dillon.

Not the Dillon Panthers or the East Dillon Lions, but the Montana Western Bulldogs, an NAIA team from Dillon MT.

Pathetic. Beavs up 32-28 at the half.

 

[LoTrader]

Beavers are suppose to have 12 players that can hit the 3. Beavs were 2-12 in 1st half beyond the 3 point line. Don't appear to be in game shape yet. Like the 6'9" center for OSU. And really like Sasha Goforth. She's for real.

Pathetic is harsh. Glad to be playing, and it was the 1st half of the 1st game. A lot of new players on OSU. Going to take a few games to get all these players to gel together.

It's an NAIA team. Jones should be scoring every time she touches the ball. They should be imposing their will in this game.

Did you watch Oregon? They have about 20 new players and scored well over 100 against a D1 opponent.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I didn't see the 2nd half, Oregon wins 116-51. 13 played, 11 scored, 10 had 4 or more. Mikesell w/ 28, Prince 17, Giomi 15 (and 13 rebounds). Paopao had 7 assists.

Maryland transfer Mikesell had eight 3"s. Btw, Sedonia Prince has a nice shot for a 6-7 player.

 

[bballnut90]

Prince looks ridiculously good...super smooth and a great feel for the game. I know Seattle isn't a good opponent, but she reminded me of Parker when she was at Tennessee. Great touch on her shots and moves like a guard out there.

The whole team looked good, kind of what you'd expect playing a team like Seattle but great start for Oregon.

Oregon St. woke up in Q3, now up 62-37.

Agreed, you forget she is 6ft-7in. Coach mentioned post game the biggest negative was the defense. Just getting the freshmen on tape against another opponent has to be a huge plus for the coaches to break down there game.

Definitely some young talent with the McDonald's AA's at times. Btw, Mikselll is a sniper with the three's.

 

[eebmg]

Nope. Same here.

Well, the DePaul feed is now working. The stats indicate DePaul cant guard on the interior (66%) If not for 18 TO's but still leads DePaul 66-54. 3' left in 3rd Q

On the bizarre side, DePaul playing with face masks (explains their defense?) and TAMU is not.

That's exactly the word that was on my lips as I watched her, SMOOTH. Just an incredibly silky midrange jumper and very nimble on her feet. What a handful she's gonna be.

 

[Figurehead]

Coach Rueck can't be very happy with the lack of defense against a scrappy Montana State team. If Montana St. had any height at all it would be an interesting match up. Well, that is what games like this are for this early. 73-52 OSU up at this point

Yes one word SMOOTH. Agree with both of you. Yes, The perfect word. SMOOTH. Oregons never had a player like that style and size. I thought Nyara Sabally and Prince compliment each other well.

Not just Oregon. I don't think the Pac-12 has ever seen a player like her, and you'd be hard pressed to come up with analogs at the national level. The comparison to Candace Parker is in the ballpark, but Sedona is about 3 inches taller even.
