South Carolina?

Well, she had a good game in their one win in Austin. She was not good in Columbia or Greenville.

Well, she had a good game in their one win in Austin. She was not good in Columbia or Greenville.

20 pts on 22 shots with 4 turnovers, but I guess I'll allow it.

Should be an interesting matchup tomorrow.

I'm a Jordan Lee fan. That's another one of those coulda been gamecocks that hurt me a little. Overall, they seem a little better on perimeter and not nearly as good inside without Taylor Jones.

Not as much as she should have, because Close is not a great player development coach. Never has, never will be.

I can’t tell you one thing she does at an elite level. She doesn’t have many (any?) glaring weaknesses, but doesn’t look like much more than a draft-and-bench player to me at this stage.

Texas will be monstrous on the perimeter/wing next year with Booker, Lee, Preston, Crump, Critterdon, and Bjorn. Sheesh.

 

[GoChips20]

Breya Cunningham has been fine at Texas but certainly fades on a team this talented. Can’t help but think she could’ve made an enormous impact at USC.

 

[Bjbod]

Drake appears to be way down this year. Just got hammered by Northern Kentucky by 20+, a team who was 1-6 coming into the game. Drake drops to 1-5. I know they lost Dinnibier, maybe they lost most of the team from last season.

"Down" would be kind; you're correct, they are not a good team this year. Allison is a decent coach but they have no players this year.
Such a tough level to recruit to these days.

And, you didn't even list Madi Booker! Plus, a Top 25 national player in Aaliah Spaight who should log a lot of minutes at the point.

It's still 20 points. And, she added 11 rebounds from the SF spot. So, a double-double no matter how anyone dissects it.

It was actually Kyla Oldacre who was having a huge day against SC in Columbia with 11 points and 16 rebounds; Jones had zero points that day. The opposite happened in the SEC tourney. Both hit double-digit points in the win in Austin. Jones has the better faceup game, but Oldacre is tougher to move out of the low block.

Breya Cunningham has been fine at Texas but certainly fades on a team this talented. Can’t help but think she could’ve made an enormous impact at USC.

Part of that might be that Vic is not trying to force the ball inside to the post players every possession; he seems to be giving his guards and wing players from freedom offensively.
