Week 1 games (Nov. 25-29)

Looks like Washington is trailing San Diego St. 32-30 at the half. Quay Miller leading them w/ 13 and 7 boards. Team shooting 30% from the floor. Will Coach Wynn ever field a team who can shoot the ball?
 
For anyone that watched the Texas game today, did D Gaston look as good as her stats suggest?

I was waiting to see how N. Smith would do if she had to be the go to scorer. It always seemed to me that she was most effective taking opportunities that presented themselves as the defensive focus was on other players. She seemed more of a finess speed type player as opposed to a post banger.
Expand ...

Smith thrives taking advantages of opportunities when they present themselves but She is capable of scoring when she wants to though. She is a mismatch in the open floor for someone of her size and athleticism. I would like to see her knock down outside jumpers more. She has range although not from 3 point land. I think tonight was the first time I saw her try to shoot those shots.

Interesting that Queen Egbo got 0 minutes tonight. She has always been in Kim's doghouse most of her time at Baylor. She absolutely crucial for their team this year. I did like Bickle though. Tall lengthy player who rebounds and can score around the rim through contact. She honestly was the most impressive player for me watching Baylor play tonight. They obviously miss the leadership of Richards and don't have that chemistry quite yet. Andrews is clearly their best PG right now, I don't see it with J. Oliver.

Oh my...Tulane blew out Nicholls, 88-43, in the season opener for both teams. In one quarter, the Fighting Colonels only managed 4 points.
 
I'll try not to make assumptions about why Rhyne Howard was suspended. :p

i just watched Coach Lawson's post game press conference and she mentioned that she had talked to Coach Stringer recently... and that of all of the coaches she really wanted to coach against her, and was sorry that she won't get the chance this season. @KnightBridgeAZ

F PG Vanessa DeJesus looks good. #37 rank from ESPNw.

I like Kara's demeanor on the sidelines. Not celebrating with her players every little thing. I will clap when you win a Championship. (Geno like)

Agreed about DeJesus. Very poised for a frosh; she'll be a good one.

Did you see Kara when she was coaching 3x3 for USA Basketball? Very cool cucumber (although it's a bit different setup with the coaches more removed from the court).
Expand ...

From Lawson herself “[De Jesus is] just a talented player. She’s very composed and she’s got a great demeanor for a point guard,” Lawson said. “She knows our offense like the back of her hand. She knows where everyone’s supposed to be on the court on every play.”

Washington won a squeaker 61-59. I have to assume BYU is better than San Diego St., so the next game is gonna be tougher. Looks like offensive rebounding was the key to the game. 18-2 advantage for the Dawgs, allowed for a big difference in FGA--71-49.


edit--jeez, UW is short on players. I knew Peterson is out w/ an ACL and Watkins opted out this season, but no Rees or Griggsby tonight. Only 3 players that were in the regular rotation last season played today. 3 true Fr. and a RS Fr. got significant minutes, plus a former walk on Soph who barely played last year (she was awarded a schollie). Oh yeah, a JC transfer is also apparently out for the season after hip surgery.

Of possible interest to UConn fans, Gabby Williams' sister Jayda Noble made her debut w/ 8 points and 9 rebounds.

I certainly didn't jinx Iowa by putting them in my BY25 ballot :D

Clark will no doubt be a huge star for Iowa. If she continues to perform at this level, she'll not only be all-Big Ten but she'll garner AA votes as well. Czinano and Warnock were excellent as well. Iowa exploded for 38 points in 3Q and put the result out of question.
Expand ...
Caitlin was smooth and in control the entire game with UNI not being able to control her regardless of how they tried to defend her. She did get a lot of help from Monika Czinano (All BIG) and McKenna Warnock ('20 All BIG Fr.) which was expected but several others who she began to trust in the second half really opened things up for the team. A lot to work on but a lot to build from too and their next two incoming recruiting classes are impressive.

Yep I agree with you! Queen is a junior so she should know not to break any team rules! That’s why she was in the doghouse yesterday. Hopefully she’ll get to play on Tuesday against south Florida. Bickle to me was the best player of the game! She had 14 points on 5-6 shooting, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block without any turnovers! Hannah Gusters also had a good debut for the lady bears! Also, nalyssa needs to stop shooting those 3’s! She’s like 1-16 her career from outside. The best shooter from the post position is Bickle on the team. I would rather have her on the trail so she can shoot those 3’s that Smith took.

I think that N. Smith realizes that she has to play the wing to be successful at the next level and that requires her to be able to shoot the 3 so she is attempting to develop that shot. However, I agree, while this was not a close or challenging game, she should not shoot those shots in closer games until she gets better at it.

Checking their roster...Nicholls has NO seniors on the roster. They are very young this season. Dobee has a lot of work to do with this team. They do have five or six juniors...and one graduate transfer from Maine who is originally from Slovakia.

Oh definitely! Hopefully the whole team improve from yesterday’s game. We did not shoot well. Now we are going on the road the next 3 games

UConn-Lite. Now get them on our schedule.

@Plebe

Our game against BYU will be challenging tomorrow. They have a 6'7 center (Sara Hamson), they have two big time scorers returning (Paisley Harding 15 PPG and Shaylee Gonzales 17 PPG before her injury last year). They also added a couple strong transfers to compliment the current roster.

I'm not paying 10 dollars to watch the game so I will just follow the live stats lol

I was most impressed yesterday with Duke more so than any other team. The way they defended was CLEARLY a difference from the JPM era!

Me too :p

I loved seeing the man to man defense... the matchup zone that the previous coach loved is ok from time to time... but not as the base defense.

According to GoDuke.. the 30 points scored in the 3rd quarter was the 5th most in program history.

When the recruits start flowing in ..... y'all might have to put me on ignore :p;):D:cool: that is if you haven't already :oops:
 
Now Louisville's game at Cincinnati has been canceled as well (due to COVID case in UC program, per UC release). Louisville not having great luck with its early OOC opponents: MTSU, UConn, now Cincy.
