Katie needs to step up for this team to go far. When she took two of the first three shots in the last game, I thought “alright!” But then she disappeared. ?? Could we put Katie in a room with Tres Tinkle’s sister and have them talk it over, please. That woman seems to have enough %#!*¥ to charge a semi-truck. just don't open up with....wassup dog #toosoon?

Oregon actually has a true center the just don't play her that much. She is really athletic and covers a lot of space defensively.Graves just doesn't value defense that much. Who are you talking about? Not a Graves fan but the only possible true center who doesn’t play much is 6’6” Giomi and she’s been hurt lots and not shown herself to be a real force in her play so far.

You calling Graves a liar? He says his team doesn't really do the defensive thingy. Their objective is to outscore the other team. Certainly not calling you a liar...but Oregon's coach has pretty consistently said that team defense is key to Ducks having a Final Four season. Virtually every interview, post game press conference this year. He has also stated that he isn't too concerned about offense (Oregon leads the nation) and focus is on D. Interviews with players this year have collaborated the coach's emphasis on sound defense. One of the things I do like about Graves is he does have a sense of humor, unlike the typical Duck. Yes he said it, no I don't think he was serious. And I went through 5 interviews with Graves and I didn't hear him talk about Defense being the key to a final four season. But I will take you at your Ducks word.

Orange colored glasses.
