Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4877257, member: 591"] We were there. Betts didn't particularly score, but she is most certainly effective at disruption. That said, she stood out as a player of her height, not otherwise. She camped endlessly in the lane (someone said she must be knitting a sweater) and had some nasty exchanges with Esmery Martinez. Rice looked very good, it looked like Jacquez was not expected to be so good in the Arizona scout. I think, in the end, the better team won. Arizona would probably be better if Nnaji hadn't left and without the injuries, but it was a rebuilding year. As to Gilbert - man, she was hurting. Had her electronic back brace at the beginning of the game, had to be helped off the court at the half, and got a liniment back rub mid 3rd. The rumor mongering was the local beat writer - who suggested there was more to her being out than her back and that she might not be part of the team's plans. I saw no evidence of this, she gave it her all and then some last night. They all do. Skyler Jones didn't seem happy, but it wasn't anyone else's fault. She missed some key shots and made a number of on-court errors. She has struggled on and off this year, but don't most freshmen? At her best, she is good and is still learning. Heck, Cunningham is still learning, some of her fouls are just lack of experience. [/QUOTE]
