OSU needs to have all its "bigs" hit the weight room in the off-season and come ready to push, shove, hack, tackle, "body slam" and generally out-physical it opponents next year, since this appears to be the new norm. Can you imagine what a beefed up Jelena would/could/should do if given free rein like AZ was given today?

Can you imagine what a beefed up Jelena would/could/should do if given free rain like AZ was given today? Taylor is doing a good job of holding her own under the basket. The problem comes from when they double or even triple team her. She appears to relish the contact. Give her a couple years and she is going to be a monster in the key. What is up with not hitting her on the pick and roll? The guard got doubled Taylor would roll to the basket and be open until the off side help came over. |

Yes, a player who has never played and who’s video shows that she is slower than Grymek was is the answer too all of the problems. Keep dreaming. |

We have too many players on the bench that we get no production out of. Our five starters plus Aleah averaged 33 minutes. Our two others who got playing time played 23 minutes total. The Pac-12 tourney will be a challenge.... especially if we don't get the first round bye. Patricia Morris 0 minutes over the weekend. We're getting production out of our bench players because now they are starters because of injuries. Brown would not be starting if Corosdale was healthy. Goodman would be 6th man if Kat Tudor was the Nov., 2019, Kat Tudor. We're getting production from our "bench" players, just in a different role. Brown, Washington, Simmons and Morris would be #7, #8, #9 and #10 on a healthy team. Brown and Washington would get minutes, but most of the time #9 and #10s don't play much. You shouldn't expect much production from Simmons and Morris because they're not in position (yet) to be meaningful, productive Pac-12 players. After the BS Minion Moore pulled here two years ago, I don't think we wanted anything to do with her as a grad transfer. And probably vice-versa. We bad mouth all the ones that don't choose correctly. Because there is only one choice. Even Evina Westbrook was poison to some here.

I think the guards missed getting her the ball on a number of occasions when she appeared in good position to receive a pass. He did bring the ball down too low several times and it got stolen. ...something I haven't seen much of in other games. If OSU gets all its "bigs" back, including Andrea becoming eligible, it could be awesome intimidation in the paint! I dream of the day when Jelena and Andrea are both in the front court at the same time and wreaking havoc! (I'm still hopeful she will play next year.) |

"Slower than Grymek" Let me run some analytics on that.... (sound of electrical short circuiting) Does not compute. Does not compute.  |

Besides, my comment is meant to be slightly tongue in cheek. Do you just like to stir the pot? |

Rueck said her athleticism is somewhere between Ruth and Jo. I don’t find Jelena and Jo comparable because, for one, Jelena can make a free throw.
Jelena also knows when to kick the ball out quickly. Taylor is still learning.

Taylor is still learning. I can't make a side by side comparison, but it at least APPEARS that Jelena may be modestly more mobile, a better passer, and a better finisher/scorer at the basket compared to Jo. We will have to wait and see her in a real live game against Pac-12 competition. |

Ohhh, so "loser" was what you parsed as objectionable. But nonathletic and untalented is just an objective opinion. I think your opinion is wrong. I think UA dug deeper and harder than the Beav's this time. Let's hope that if they meet again the Beav's can find it in themselves to reverse the results. And what is it with you and digging? It would be helpful if you used the Quote function to help the context of your post. |

Hate to say it but coach has to own this loss. How many times does the point guard stare at the staff for the play and then we dribble around until there is 10 seconds or less on the shot clock. Pull up and wait for their defense to get set even when we have a 4 guard line up we don't push the tempo to try and get easy cheap looks. Frustrating. He is a smart coach he will reflect and make adjustments. Go beavs. Pretty sure the refs didn't missed a dozen wide open looks. And, unless SR thinks officiating is bias against OSU specifically, then everyone is on equal ground. Own the losses. Certainly doesn't bitch much after Ws! |
