The odds show that it is difficult to beat the same team three times in a row in a year. Particularly if the teams are somewhat reasonably matched. That should perhaps give a edge to the Beavs.
However missing the 13 points that Talia averages would seem to negate that advantage.
My thought is that Timea needs to play more to give us more scoring. However SR's strategy of not playing her much worked out well against Arizona.
Adlee and Lily need to keep firing up those three point attempts. If they are hitting them, that gives Raegan more room to operate!
Go Beavs!

Barlow's crew is working the ucla-asu game. Let's hope that means she won't be doing our game.
Not having Talia is tough but if the Beavs can put together 4 full quarters we have a good chance of winning.

They might miss TVO, but they've "missed" TVO for most of the season for all practical purposes. And it had become more of an issue than just the shooting problems. TVO said that she was not moving like she needed to. Not only does that hamper her game, but it really bogged down the Beavers' offense even more. At least TVO having to shut her season down has coincided with Blacklock showing the ability to get more playing time. Hopefully we'll see at least another couple of games with her and maybe others stepping it up as they did against Arizona.

Amen Brother!
Although I fully realize every injury is different,etc.,etc., it still seems suspicious that Talia's injury was a lot like Taylor Jone's injury in that either the player or the Coaches or both were encouraging the player to keep playing when a medical redshirt year may have been advisable.
Think of having a healthy TVO available for the next 3 years with Raegan/Timea/Adlee/etc !
No doubt not enough info. to determine, but when "TVO said that she was not moving like she needed to" it seems fair to question the decision to have her play rather than redshirt.
Go Beavs!

Taylor only played in 9 games and missed 21. With the rules now days I'm not sure how much the coach can say about playing injured but I bet not much. I know for a fact another pac 12 team had a similar issue and the coach said that they aren't involved in those decisions. Those decisions were the players with input from the medical staff. Obviously Talia thought she could play through it and either it got worse or was worse than she thought. Talia did a really good job fighting through it, shooting was the area most affected.

The'll miss having a healthy/effective TvO. They won't miss a player that shot 22% and had a 0.5 Assist/TO ratio that did play against USC this year.

Seems as though everything is “suspicious” to you. Do you really think that Dad von Oelhoffen (14 yr NFL vet) - who knows everything that Rueck knows about his daughter’s physical situation (probably more) - would allow any decision to be taken that was not fully in her best interests? Do you?

Thank you for your response. I plead "guilty" of poor judgement here. Your point is well taken, and I stand corrected.
It just seems a shame for such a talented player to struggle so much all year when there are only a limited number of years of eligibility.
Go Beavs!

👍 GO BEAVS! Werebeaver,
Not a lot of traffic on this thread so far.
Perhaps a lot of folks are wishing and hoping as I am that the Beavs play well and catch a break or two along the way!
Also perhaps a referee might call at least few flops for what they are!
Go Beavs
