Is that typical for her? I've seen lots of projecting about whether she'll be able to carve out a spot in the WNBA. If that is how she plays defense, can't see it really working out as a pro.

I think it is. There’s no way she isn’t gassed by the 4th in close games. Especially if they are up and down games.

You have to remeber she checks herself out when she needs a rests it’s usually in the 5 minute mark. If the team needs her to play the entire 4th don’t know how effective she is.
 
Wow. The “James Harden” aka “el matador defense”. ¡Olé!

That was very glaring. I didn’t notice in their other games. Now I have to watch some of their previous games, again.

I haven’t really seen it clipped up before, but I think it is pretty typical. There has been a lot of player of the year talk around Audi; and I have always resisted that claim because I think she is often a net negative on defense.

My issue with that talk is all she does is score. And NOPY candidates aren’t just who scores the most points
 
NC State will be without spark plug Zam Jones tonight at Clemson; she rolled her ankle badly toward the end of Sunday's game against Cal. Hopefully, Destiny Lunan and Devyn Quigley can make up for her absence.

Tilda Trygger, who missed Sunday's game with the flu, is listed as "probable" tonight against Clemson.

Major loss. I think Zam is probably a bigger loss than Tilda was for a game. Tilda is good and consistent and a great glue piece who can stretch the floor and has an excellent eFG%, but Zam is as you say, the spark plug. She has really come on as a lead guard, has been the best on the team on penetrating to create for others. She's also the best shooter on the team, granted she's pretty streaky.

I feel like she plays a big role on this particular team as it's constructed as well because KP and Zoe both need room in the paint to operate and Zam creates that spacing. Will be interesting to see who gets those minutes. Lunan fits a similar style of play as Zam, she would provide athleticism, ball handling and creativity, however as a true freshman we've seen her also have growing pains and not always make the best decisions with the ball. Quigley would potentially create floor spacing as a shooter if you wanted to hand the reigns over to Zoe, but you certainly get less play making that way.

Clemson certainly isn't a powerhouse by any stretch, but they do love to shoot the 3, which is something State usually gives up on D in order to clog the paint and make penetration more difficult. A road game without Zam against a team who likes to fire away from deep makes me a tad nervous, if the Tigers are hitting from deep it could be a tricky one.

Louisville wins on the road against Miami, 77-68. 5-0 in the ACC now, State, Duke and UVa trying to keep pace right behind them at 4-0.

(Audi Crooks "highlights" post #48.) When I watched the clips, I hadn't looked at the caption. The first couple of clips, I thought "Crooks set a great screen." Then I noticed the players who scored were from the other team. No exaggeration.

And we saw what happened the other night without Addy Brown. As far as I'm concerned she's the MVP of Iowa State.

LSU up 10 on Georgia at half
And upset alert on Ole Miss - Okla, with #5 Sooners down 10 early

Apparently Penn St. is the cure for whatever ails you. Michigan had been struggling a bit lately, but not today.

Didn’t Iowa destroy Penn state like this too? Or was it Rutgers? Either way. I think those are the two worst teams in the conference.
 
Clemson leads NC State, 39-37, at halftime. NC State did hold a 19-11 lead at one point. Clemson made 10 of 16 FG in the second quarter to take a 4-point lead before a Zoe Brooks jumper at the halftime horn cut the Tiger lead to 2 at the break. Tilda Trygger with 9 points and 8 rebounds...Khamil Pierre with 13 points and 4 boards, Zoe Brooks has 10 for NC State.

Rusne Augustinate has 11 for Clemson, with Mia Moore contributing 9.

Yeah there's definitely some poor teams at the bottom of the B1G, same as last year.
