Beavs vs USA. What are you most excited to see tonight?

I've said it from the beginning, Goodman will be the greatest basketball player of all time at OSU. Men or women.

Gary Payton laughed at your post....along with a lot of other players.

What's the story on Taya? Hamstrings are difficult injuries to heal. She plan on playing this weekend?

IMO, the outcome of the game is exactly what you wanted. The worst thing would have been for TUSA to play terrible and have the team think they’ve arrived already, which was somewhat how the Stanford game played out.

Our frosh learned they can hang until physically superior athletes (including just conditioning) wear them down so that they are gassed and have no legs to even shoot free throws. They also learned that there are post moves that are virtually unstoppable when you have size and great footwork. That is a great lesson to learn early in your season/career.

Pivec learned that what often gets her in trouble will really eat her up in the WNBA - when she goes to the basket, she needs to have a plan before she gets there - not pick the ball up and figure it out surrounded by bigs.

I really like how much Aleah has improved her handles - I thought she’d get eaten alive with the dribble, and she held her own. I think Scott mixed up the PG role because it’s exhausting to try and initiate an offense against that level of defense. The confidence she played with was outstanding.

I liked that Destiny played really aggressive, going to the rim and finding shots off the dribble. She didn’t shoot well because she forced shots - but often she had to or it was a shot clock violation. We need her to do that at times - Pivec often assumes that role of the 1:1 play when the offense isn’t working, but I’d really prefer that be Destiny.

Watching Maddie out there, who is a good Pac-12 player, was what I honestly expected we’d see a lot more of with everybody - just not in the same league as TUSA and completely overwhelmed.

The fact that TUSA had to turn up the intensity to pull away was great to see, and a great preview of what they’ll have to weather in conference play.

It was weird to see the team hanging with TUSA with a solid 7 rotation before the skill level really noticeably dropped off, and then the camera scan the bench and have Kat, Jalena and Andrea on the bench... if they were all available, we could send in a 2nd line like TUSA does ... it’s a pretty ridiculous amount of talent on this team. Yes, the top NCAA teams also have this kind of depth also, it just hasn’t ever been OSU’s situation in my memory.

USA bigs were also so much larger than ours, that it was really, really hard for ours to get any kind of solid positioning where we could give them a solid post entry pass.

Jelena is pretty large, so she may have been a solid option if she was an option.

I did as well. You all really think that post was serious? or the others about her?
