Great college player but I don't think she makes a roster. Length, quickness and speed are essential in the pros and she isn't going to match up well defending other posts. 15 years ago she could've had a career similar to Courtney Paris but with the speed of the game in today's day and age I don't think she sticks. Love her though.
I haven't seen much of Iowa yet but last year they tried to put Stuelke on the wing more with mixed results. She's a good player but undersized to be a pro 4 or 5. I mean this with no disrespect, but I think playing alongside Clark her sophomore year as a rim runner post likely make her look better than she is.
Well Harvard is only 4-5, so it's probably more the second part.
Or maybe not?
yeah that was worthy of a replay
Seriously. The wildest stats from the box score is that UCLA had more than twice the steals (13 to 5) and Tennessee had almost twice the turnovers (20 to 12). If your signature defensive strategy is to press and cause chaos you should not be on the losing end of the steals and turnovers battle. Yikes!
Can't believe Close looked shocked. What was she expecting?
pls explain
Fairfield made 18 3's against Iowa, including 6 in the 1st qtr and 8 in the 4th. You don't want to draw them in the 1st round of the NCAA's; really scrappy team.
Uh, I don't know, professionalism? Honestly, only in today's era would a player like Barker show such little class. Folks around here know I have mixed views of Cori, but on the player treatment aspect of things, she is top tier. UCLA didn't recruit Barker last season, she came of her own accord. It is well known that Close warned her there were no playing time guarantees if she came. When she did play, it was clear she was not following UCLA's offensive script, and would jack up shots without ever looking to pass the ball. Barker also wasn't "recruited over," because UCLA's current freshman class had been targeted long before Barker reached out to UCLA. And Barker's probably making more NIL money at Tennessee this season anyway.
Illinois won 100-28 today against LeMoyne today. We can mark off a 72 point victory from the list. 😉
For a senior to act like an adult?
Thank you for Barker's back story. The only thing I know about her was how she played and what I saw during the National Semi-final (that I have watched over a half dozen times). She seemed to be very frustrated and not at all happy during the game. I mean she looked really p!ssed at Close to me. I was not surprised at all when she entered the portal. That's why I was not at all surprised by her post game behavior today.
Agree. Refer to my reply to @TheFarmFan
