I'm hoping that better things are ahead for this team this year. They are young with 4 freshmen and 3 sophomores and improving all the time but they are going to make mistakes. They will learn from those mistakes and be better from them.

Other than South Carolina the SEC flopped HARD in the '21 wbb Tourney. They had 2 #3 and and a #4 seed taken out in the 2nd round. A #4 seed lost in the 1st round, and a #1 seed lost in the third round. And most of the losses were blowouts. They spectacularly failed last season. With 6 teams seeded #4 or higher, they had one get to the Sweet 16 and one to the Final 4. That ain't much.
So no, the SEC does not perform bottom line. You've bought in to what ESPN is selling, but it's not based on facts.
I'd say they underperformed in softball as well, considering how many teams they got in and how many were seeded or hosted (pretty unfair they had an unseeded team get to host).
Well I think you are going to be disappointed with the Pac-12 this year because so far as a whole the conference is under performing in WBB. I just have to have proof that the NCAA and ESPN are in some sort of secret alliance. They problem in the pac-12 across most sports is the upper half is strong and the bottom end is real weak. I wonder why the mountain west conference dominates the Pac-12 in football. Some hate that the PAC-12 get picked on but only a few of the members have the $$$ that most SEC schools have. We have more have nots. Money talks I guess. The “alliance” is not a secret. ESPN owns the SEC network and splits the revenue 50/50. That was the deal they made in 2013, and runs through 2034 from what I’ve read. So, the more value ESPN drives to the SEC, them more they make from their cut. |

TVO while obviously talented dribbles the ball far too much. Talia is an talented player offensively who has the potential to score 2,000+ points during her OSU career. She effectively hunts shots and is wise beyond her years as to how to score. She is a better shooter than what we have seen (38% from the field and 32% from distance) from her this season through the first 10 games. She is finding out what it is like to be a focus of an opponent's scouting report. Talia needs to clean up her ball handling and passing habits that have resulted in her averaging 3.8 turnovers per game and an assist-to-turnover ratio of less than 1.0 (currently 0.87) so far this season. Her distribution numbers aren't the numbers of a successful point guard at this phase of her career. I like the fact that Rueck has allowed Greta and Tea to initiate the offense so that Talia can share the burden of being a playmaker with teammates who appear to be better suited to play the one position. Have to disagree with the opener... There have been (2) 2000 point scorers in OSU WBB history. She's no Sid or Mik... and they didn't make it on teams playing 30+ games a year with better offensive flow over their careers. And, she's exactly the shooter we've seen... until she's improved. She has a long way to go to be in their category. She shot better last season, but it was a bit skewed playing in only a 13 game "season". She was impressive as a high school Sr playing D1 ball. But, 2000+ points is a reach for any player. |

But, 2000+ points is a reach for any player. beavershoopfan is correct in his statement that Talia "has the potential to score 2000+ points in her career" while rgeorge is correct that 2000+ points is a reach for any player. Talia only needs to average 15 points per game and average 31 games per year (28 regular season plus 3 games between Pac-12 and NCAA tourney). That would get her 1860 plus she had 147 in a bonus year last season. That totals 2007. A ton has to go right....no games cancelled from COVID, no injuries, etc, but the potential is there. Talia could easily average 15 points per game, but SR's teams are usually balanced in scoring, and with the talent expected on future teams, I wouldn't expect her to average a lot more than that over her career. |
