Uh, they have 1 player with length in Daniels. That's it. They got abused on the glass tonight. Louisville isn't even that tall, but they have some girth.
In my parlance “length” isn't synonymous with “size.” Schwartz, Briggs, Ladine and Stines are what I would describe as “long guards.”
The scattergram on both of these teams is, well, quite scattered. Florida recently lost to Marshall and Tulsa, and then they dominate Michigan. Michigan gets blown out by Toledo, blows out Illinois and then gets blown out by Florida. I give up.
Try to see the glass half full. Rather than lament the face-plants by Washington State, Arizona and Washington, maybe focus on celebrating the signature wins by Arizona State and Stanford?
Carly Thibeault (sic) continuing the family coaching tree after her father and brother. Love to see it.
Wondered the same. Illness?
What would you call their marquee win to date? Didn’t they beat Clemson by three and Belmont by one? They have played one of the weakest schedules in the country. They lost to Miami, ok, but Chattanooga? Dear lord. Hold up on the MSU love, there is a good reason they are rated so low.
I hear you on this, Belmont has a NET of 74 and Colorado State has a NET of 61 so those are their two biggest wins. But let's be honest here, after SC and LSU the SEC has a lot of nut'en. After those two, I would venture Alabama is 3rd then MSU, then gosh knows. What I do know is I am not a beliver in the NET for Texas A&M and need to see them beat someone with a pulse as their best win is over Kansas at home.
I said they had a good week, players are still trying to figure their roles, and it’s been fun watching them grow as a team. How did you get any of your pontification from that?
I enjoy watching Louisville play, especially O Cochran but I agree they can sometimes look a little disjointed. I was looking at Louisville’s stats and saw seven players are playing between 20 and 24 minutes, the next two 17 and 14 respectively and 8 and 7 for the last two on the roster. I understand Coach Walz is trying to work in a lot of transfers and determine roles. However I would have thought there would have been at least a couple of players in the upper 20s or lower 30s in minutes.
Based on her track I’m not high on Coach Taylor’s coaching ability. However she has amassed a lot of talent. I didn’t think L Ware would be recovered to produce like her current rate. It really allows J Barker the freedom to move around to different spots instead of being confined to the post.
Supposedly, Juju and Rayah were out with undisclosed injuries. Possibly, the kind of injuries that don't keep you out of marquee matchups, but do keep you out of lower level affairs... (pure speculation)
Watkins’ and Marshall’s unavailability was attributed to illness. I’m curious what source you heard “undisclosed injuries” from.
