Bendu’s half time talk during Seattle game inspires teammates

Thanks Oldbeav,

Yeah, it's only $1 to sign up for the GT for 6 months to read this, and I did. Their sign up system is broken, took me several extra steps, hope you do better. It has a replay of the press conference, and the article is mostly stuff from that, a little more, first section:

Bendu Yeaney recorded her first assist as a member of the Oregon State women’s basketball team on Thursday night even though she never took the floor.

The redshirt senior transfer from Arizona didn’t like what she saw from her teammates on the defensive end in the first half against Seattle. The Beavers (2-0) went into halftime with a 38-33 lead over the Redhawks before pulling away for an 89-53 victory.

“Bendu gave us a talk in the locker room, obviously, being such a defensive player, not being able to be out there,” said Talia von Oelhoffen. “I think … hearing her talk about that and talk about defense it's just like ‘Oh, yeah, we gotta go.’ She definitely played a role in this game even though she’s not playing, which was huge and for all of us to hear that was really cool.”
