Unlike Kim and Baylor, who play the teams that are out of the top 250 maybe even 300 in Women's BB. Then she proceeds to walk all over them. The last two teams are from the Southland Conference and are at the bottom of the barrel, Northwestern State and McNeese State are a combined 0 - 9.
Yeah, she was giving out directions She will keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see her bang with Boston
hear you Timbuk 3YES!!! I am so in love with this kid's approach and skill set AS A FRESHMAN!! Future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
Rocky I think Geno or CD said something about that not being a magazine. Do to excessive time in the film room Paige had gotten behind on her home work.
Anna is better than Edwards at this point and plays a good but different defensive game than AG. I see steals, disruptions, getting in position.
Nice comments. More minutes could smooth out some of her rough edges. Frankly I don’t need her to be able to shoot anything but a lay up. Anything else is gravy. She can finish!
My point was their play today after the first quarter was lackluster. They were getting beat fairly consistently on defense, did not really pressure the outside shots, committed quite a few silly fouls. Offensive, they passed up too many open shots for a more "perfect shot" but ended up over passing, Now, it must be hard to keep motivated when you're up by 30 in the first quarter, but staying focused is the issue. When we play top 5 teams you have to bring it for 40 minutes - that was my focus. I am excited for every style of play, as long as it is solid. Life is good when we can complain in a blowout!
agree with all except ref calling travels slow the game down. It's not the ref's it's the players traveling that slows the game down. A problem that needs to be corrected asap or sooner.
I said in the chat that Xavier scored so well in the 2nd quarter because UConn went away from M2M (and Paige play only 6 minutes), as Geno wanted to work quarter court zone. Hey, he's always looking at March. I also noted his anger when he realized how much they need to work on that zone. It'll come.
That's a fact. Once again, complaining about referee's always seems to me like homer flailing. I saw Liv get away with a lot of arm smacking tonight with no calls. All of the travels called against UConn were so obvious it became a comedy. Don't call these and you may as well allow 3 and 4 steps to the hoop. Heck, isn't enough that Paige gets away with palming the ball on every possession?
It will be 8 in the set rotation, not 7, when Nika returns. I am very hopeful about Mir also but we have to be patient. Totally agree about Evina. We are witnessing her comeback from her surgeries evolve game by game and it is thrilling to watch. 4 assists and 4 steals to go along with 4 boards as well today and she is going to be the lock down defender on his team. Some beautiful passing today for a team that may well become one of the best passing teams ever.
You guys with these starting lineup changes. NOT...GONNA...HAPPEN unless Anna or Evina go into a prolonged slump. Or unless they don't listen to Geno (ie. Geno has told Anna she needs to take more shots when the outcome of the game is undecided - she took and made 2 shots in 1 in the 1st quarter).
