Week 3 - Nov 18 to 24

[cancontent]

Rueck earned a lot of points for me by sticking around. He must love Corvallis!

(or waiting on a WNBA offer)

You had me up until this caveat. Don't put this out into the universe, I beg you!

 

[BRS24]

Juju with 24 pts on 40% shooting. I dunno, call me a homer, but I still think Paige is a better player.

Juju needs a coach who pushes her to refine her rough edges and look for her teammates more. It's kind of a travesty she'll be allowed to squander some of her unlimited potential for four years under Gottlieb.

Paige didn't need much work to begin with, but she's definitely gotten better under Geno.

Still, I think JuJu's game is slightly better suited to the W.

Mass media only looks at scoring. JuJu on pace to catch Clark in scoring. That's exciting and largely why Gottlieb will keep going with JuJu show. They can still finish 29-5 that way and go deep into the tournament. Just won't win it.

Paige gets plenty of exposure, but never really face of the game. Only as field goal % and efficiency not that exciting.

I find it sad, as Paige actually has the same skills as Clark. Fast pace, great passing, deep 3 PT shooting range. Just not showcased at UConn, as team is very balanced. But wins!

Juju with 24 pts on 40% shooting. I dunno, call me a homer, but I still think Paige is a better player.

It's not a stretch to say this, as Paige is the former (and maybe the future) NPOY. Meanwhile, JuJu is being played out of position and it shows. While she's been anointed by the media as the "chosen one", there may be at least two players (could be three) who either are better or have at least performed more like a NPOY.

 

[Stagnant]

The bottom of the sec really stinks. Missouri, A&M, Florida, Georgia, and Arkansas.

Villanova beats Texas A&M.

 

[Stagnant]

Big East Power 4 wins so far:

Butler: Indiana
Creighton: Nebraska
UConn: North Carolina
Villanova: Wake Forest, Texas A&M
Seton Hall: Cincinnati

Watched most of the USC/Notre Dame game on tape. Have to admit it's the 1st time I've watched USC/Watkins.
1st off, congrats to USC for drawing 7900 fans to this Top Ten matchup .
Secondly, I've seen better offensive strategy at the Saturday morning YMCA pickup gym.
So far, very unimpressed with JuJu and the Trojans; I know it's a long season but I expected to be wowed and definitely was not.
We'll see how they develop....
