Jones picked up three fouls early in the third and Rueck didn't go back to her. Of course, I didn't see the game, but surprising.

A really good win. It's the ability to win the games when you are struggling that can make the difference at the end of the season.
Sounds like Brown had another huge game even if she continues to miss at long range.

I understand her taking 2-3 threes a game, as she was early, but to take 14 threes over two games when you aren't very good at it, in my opinion, just hurts the team more than anything. Teams are going to bait her into taking threes. Hopefully she'll become an efficient eventually. Really miss Taya at the four though.

Is she shooting well in practice, and struggling in games? I'm surprised at the green light she has there from Rueck since she's shooting really poorly from 3. You have to show you can make them if you're going to put that many of them up. If you can't, then it's just extra possessions to the other team. |

Aleah played the entire 40 minutes, once again leading the team.
Kennedy was a close second like yesterday. She must be playing really well, especially on defense to make Rueck not want to take her out.

I like what Brown is contributing in a number of areas with the exception of her outside shooting. She is now 4/25 (16%) from distance on the season. It is time for the coaching staff to discuss/direct what is a good shot for her and what is not. Opposing defenses should not follow her out to the three-point line until she can prove to be a competent three-point shooter during games. My guess is that opposing teams will continue to scout her and give her that uncontested shot from beyond the arc as long as she remains ineffective from distance. I would back off from her and guard the paint with her defender, allowing Brown to take as many three-point shots as she is willing to take. |

Hangover game? Looking at Liberty's record you would've expected an easy 30+ point margin.

This reminds me of what happened last season against a then underachieving TA&M. They seem to become very easily distracted and lose focus when they play what they believe to be an easy win. I know that Oregon St likes to think of themselves as a family environment with everyone getting along, but perhaps they need to have at least one player who kicks rear to keep the team focused under these sort conditions. Was Texas A&M underachieving last season? They went 26-8, exact same record as OSU. They finished 12th in the final coaches poll to osuâs 10th. We lost to them primarily because Chennedy Carter put up 27 on us. If you read my post carefully you will see I specified " then underachieving". The were rated in the top twenty but then dropped out after losing two games ( one to a terrible Lamar ). Their game against Oregon St. was the best they had played up until then and it got them back on track. Carter had not been playing that well until the Oregon game. After their previous days blow out of E. Washington the Beav's got over confident. I remember they were horsing around and laughing during warms ups. |

Although they blew out EWU, they were actually tied at 13 at the end of the first quarter. My recollection from both games in Hawaii is that they absolutely did not look ready to play at the start of the games. I thought it looked like they were in vacation mode, like they were in Hawaii to enjoy the sunshine and the beach and the basketball games were kind of an afterthought. |

Their other loss at that point in the season was to #18 Syracuse. Syracuse had just come off a 2 point loss to Oregon in Eugene 4 days before. So I wouldnât agree with your âunderachievingâ adjective for Texas A&M. A&M were a good team and we knew it. They won because OSU couldnât contain their All-American player. Not because of anything OSU did in warmups. |

As nwhoopfan--- pointed out. They did not look ready to play before both games, but they still blew out their first opponent. A&M ( yes I know Carter did not play) still did not look as good as they were projected to be early in the season. Not being ready reflects a lack of concentration and complacency which often comes from over-confidence - the cause of a lot of upsets. I concur with nwhoopfan as to believing the team was more focused on having a good time than taking care of business. Perhaps they need to stay away from warm beachy areas in the future at this time of year.

The games in Hawaii are only part of the tournament. All colleges involved spend time in the local schools. IIRC, last year the teams actually spent more time than required. They provide a positive role model to kids that could use some of those. They deserve to be rewarded with a trip to the beach. It is also a team building experience for the four teams that go.
They were just off on the a&m game, it happens. And to be honest last years team had a few of those.
