Good grief, I know the Beavs are on the other side of the country but as a sports reporter, at least learn how to pronounce the names of the people you are asking questions to. They got 2 of the 3 names wrong. Talia at the beginning of the players interviews and Rueck's near the end of the players interviews. Talia corrected them on her name and low key corrected on Rueck when she answered the last question.

I watched this shorter clip with just the Beavers and not all the teams and the mispronunciations are in here. Seems like they cut out Talia's correction in the long version or I missed it. oregonstate.rivals.com/news/watch-oregon-state-wbb-previews-sweet-sixteen-vs-notre-dame

Look at the picture of Lily in the article on her. Mychal Thompson (yes, Klay's dad) is the Blazers all time blocks leader. I think he was 6'11' but not a leaper. When asked how he blocked so many shots, he said he tried to block shots from the side, as does Lilly in this picture, or from behind which Lilly did in the last two games. You don't have to have great hops as the shot is in the low part of its trajectory, just great timing, which Lilly is showing she has. Just a side note here but Mychal Thompson's listed height was 6'10" but he admitted in an article once that he was actually only barely 6'9" which make his shot blocking stats even more impressive. As I recall in addition to blocking shots from the side he was as you say not a great leaper but he was a very "quick" jumper which also helped his shot blocking skills. Lilly also uses her length and long arms in addition to the side and back angles you mention and has become an effective shot blocker and defensive stopper for us and I've seen her get off the floor pretty well at times. Just another good weapon for us off the bench!

ESPN's matchup predictor has a 73.6% chance for ND to win.
How unfortunate for anyone that bets using that.

I say bring in Adlee to muscle/body Hildago a few times to make her think about her life choices.

Ugh...a little cold on the shooting, a couple of turnovers, at least we're getting some offensive rebounds.

Crazy how easily Beers moved Westveldt (sp?) out of the way there.

TVO was pushed and they call her for traveling. Bad call #1.
