Week 10 - Jan 5 to 11

My issue with that talk is all she does is score. And NOPY candidates aren’t just who scores the most points

She truly is a great kid so I wish her nothing but success. That being said, she really is one-dimensional as a scorer. While she has an occasional double digit rebound game, her rebounding is below average given her physical presence. Defense already discussed. This is heresay but I've seen it mentioned multiple times over several years: during recruiting Iowa was interested. Since their mantra was more of an uptempo pace they said they had a plan for slimming her down some. No idea if that had any bearing on her choice of Iowa State. Right now I'm doubtful she'll succeed in the W.

I watched her rebounding for a large chunk of a game last week, and her approach seems similar to her approach to defense. If the ball caroms toward her, she grabs it, and she has really good hands. Ain't no way she's gonna go chase many rebounds down, though.

State's a team that will be very vulnerable if any of the "big 4" are injured or sick or in foul trouble. If everyone is healthy and playing they can win the league. If just 1 is out, well they can drop a game to the Clemson's of the world.

Y'all might be a pack of wolves, but certainly not the top dog 😤

but it still strikes me as odd that they didn't have Howell playing for most of the second quarter. If it was foul trouble, I kind of get it, but to not to have her when Michigan State started their run in the second was a head scratcher.

I have no explanation for that. Although looking at box score she ended up with about the same minutes as Sellers and Ladine. Howell didn't get many shots up for 31 minutes of action. I noticed Harvey scored 9, I think most of it was late, in only 14 minutes. She's kind of a sparkplug. She's young and has been mistake prone at times, Langley doesn't fully trust her, but she's got a knack for scoring the ball.

My Aggies of NC A&T went up to Boston and defeated the First Huskies of New England. A&T 84 Northeastern 83 in Double OT

The better question is will Texas win by over 20 or not
Expand ...
I doubt it. Texas’ priority seems to be defense first and second. Offensively they don’t seem to put the pedal down until the game is close. LSU has no answer for Oldacre. So I think a margin of 10 is probably the ceiling here.

As much as it’s painful to say but I think that Kim pulls off a win here. They are at home. Plus I believe that she ripped her team an ass chewing because of their two losses earlier.
Expand ...
This is not impossible, but believing it is against my moral code.

edit: also please note that I tried very hard not to comment on the erroneous metaphor. But it started giving me a headache, so I'm back.

I think LSU could. Their backcourt is talented. Texas has a big advantage inside. Koval hasn't shown she can hang with the SEC yet, and Texas has great size and depth. Joyner can get physical but is shorter. Knox and Johnson are young and a little out of position. Excited to watch this game!

You think of the Summit League and it's pretty much always been South Dakota St. and South Dakota. Maybe North Dakota St. is going to crash the party this year. About to move to 4-0 in conference and 15-2 overall. They did lose to the 2 best teams they've played, Nebraska and Gonzaga. Not a lot else in the OOC, although they drubbed Montana St. Anyway will be interesting to see if the Bizon can keep pace with the Jackrabbits as conference play moves along.
 
Texas Tech w/ another road win, now 5-0 18-0. This time Cincinnati, while it may not be a big win, the Bearcats did just prove against Iowa St. that they aren't an automatic W.
 
Two tremendous games!

The Broncos overcome the road AND an injury to star Sophie Glancy 5 minutes into the game to beat the Cougs in Spokane 95-92 and Santa Clara moves to 5-1 in conference. Early the Broncos trailed 16-4 then exploded to score 50 in the first half and withstands a furious Washington State comeback

And, at Global Financial Arena the Lopes upset Fresno State 70-66.
 
Kinda weird day in the Mountain West. Nevada beat New Mexico on the road, Boise St. beat Colorado St. UNM and CSU knocked 2 games behind the leaders because of their losses. San Diego St. barely beat Utah St. on the road. UNLV crushed Wyoming on the road. SDSU and UNLV atop the standings at 6-0.

How did Wyoming get so bad? They were always in the thick of things. 1-5 in conference and 4-11 overall.
 
Oregon St. throttled Seattle U. Beavs were fairly up and down last year, but have started 5-0 in WCC this season.

edit--Villa led them in scoring again w/ 19, but some serious stat sheet stuffing from Kennedie Shuler--18 pts (9-15 shooting), 7 reb, 6 assists and 7 steals.

edit #2--Seattle U. scored 11 points in the 2nd half...total
