One of my favorite stats from the night was bench points, where we outscored them 24-2. One thing I can assure you of is UO’s 6’6” Lydia Giomi be much further along if she was in Orange and Black. Our staff is simply much better at developing post players. It's pretty much common knowledge in basketball circles how good Oregon St is at developing post players. Thats a given! I would go to say that Lydia would be better off with just about any other program than she is at Oregon. She has all the tools to be an elite defensive presence. All you have to do is watch her in the pittance of court time Greaves gives her to see that. She is very quick and covers a huge defensive area. I would say she is the best defender on the Ducks team. She just gets so little time on the court to ever show what she can do. Greaves just does not value defense. If Giomi had any sense she would transfer out at the end of this season. She is certainly not going to get anymore time next season with Sabbely the younger becoming part of the rotation. He had to really have fed her some bs to keep her from transferring out after last season. The only frontcourt player they are losing is Gildon and she gets so few minutes now. I suspect he is just keeping her around for injury insurance. I suspect he doesn't see her as a fit for the program he runs. She could and would be starting and doing really well for many other programs as she is. She is just wasting her time at Oregon. I am not an Oregon hater ( though I am beginning to lean in that direction in respect to Greaves ) and want them to do well, but the truth is the truth. There just seems to be something disingenuous about Greaves. I just hope Lydia wises up and doesn't waste her last two years there. She is too good to be used as an insurance policy at the end of the bench. McGwire was smart and bailed. Be interesting to see how she does at Boise State. Another big (6-3), Sierra Campisano, also left after least season. Not sure where she is. |

Campisano went to Cal Poly (we played the at the beginning of the year). Oregon has a much, much higher transfer rate, and I hope that is something recruits look at seriously.

So withing the last four days-- #5 Miss St loses to unranked Missouri:# 2 Louisville loses to #20 Miami # 7 Maryland loses to # 14 Iowa #8 Marquette loses to unranked St Johns. with none of these games being close. Yet Oregon St is not a top ten team because they lose to Oregon on their home court? Yes, makes no sense. I have no idea why Marquette would be considered a #3 seed? Miami should definitely be ranked in Top 16. Maryland and Iowa play in a crappy conference, and, if you go look at Iowa's losses, some of them are pretty bad. If Beavs take care of business tomorrow, then I think they definitely hold on to a #3 seed. |

I wouldn't want to face Missouri in the tournament if they get there. They beat Texas A&M a week or two ago as well.

Speaking for only myself, losing to the ucks or Furd isn't the issue. The current roster just isn't built for a rugged tourney run. Teams rarely go far being as one dimensional. Again my opinion. Polls can say whatever... results in the NCAA rarely follow polls. I’m pretty sure our girls are three dimensional. Otherwise they would have a hard time playing basketball always come out flat. There, all fixed. |
