...a day before the Colorado game that:
Raegan Beers would score 6 points
TVO would go 3-11 from the field and 1-5 from 3
Dom Paurova would play 5 minutes and have 3 TOs and one foul with no points
Lily Hansford would not try a 3 and play 4 minutes
I would have assumed that the Beavers were going to not only lose but probably get blown out.
Not saying that the Beavers can always overcome these kind of stat lines, but it's crazy what this team can do with the depth it has and the level of defense it plays.
As an aside, I was very happy to see Adlee get 19 minutes on the floor and look solid on defense. She just hit the one 3 but I believe strongly that she adds an extra boost of energy to the offense when she's in the game.
Also nice to see Marotte hit her shots and be a key part of the win.

grayman - - I have to agree with your thinking on this one....
The Beaver victory went against every storyline and every stat sheet in the win over Colorado last night.
I've watched Colorado 6 times this year (TV, not live) and I would have bet the farm on them to win - even at Gill....
DEFENSE was the key to this win, and I am among those who underestimated how really good the Beaver D is this year....
It's tough, it's physical and it's totally impressive.
--------
Shifting gears: Did the announcers say that Adlee's parents were in the crowd last night? - If so, I wonder if that influenced Rueck's decision to give her extra floor time....
At any rate, a great victory.
GO BEAVS!!

She was calling for the ball as soon as she crossed midcourt. |

At any rate, a great victory. GO BEAVS!! Adlee's mom was there, dad was back in Lubbock. I doubt that Rueck makes game decision based on family in the crowd but I could be wrong. |

Lily's dad was at the game too (was interviewed by Ron at halftime). But Lily only got 4 min. |

At any rate, a great victory. GO BEAVS!! "The Beaver victory went against......every stat sheet." Colorado's game plan was to double, even triple Raegan. Dono had only scored 5pts the last 4 games. Colorado's guards weren't expecting scoring from Dono, but rather expected Dono to pass to Raegan. Instead Dono put the ball on the floor and drove right past the quicker defenders while they had one foot, and eye, on the ball going inside to Raegan. Was this Dono just recognizing she had the upper hand? Was this something SR or Aleah had gone over with her before the game? I don't know, but Colorado made adjustments at halftime. By then, Dono's first half scoring had more than made up for Raegan's lack of scoring. Game plan by the Beavs? I don't know, but it worked. |

I read somewhere that Rueck credited Jonas to realizing that Colorado was leaving a lane open. So adriving Dono went. But having a lane open doesn't mean you make the shots, and Dono did! |

Agree---family in the crowd is a non-factor for Scott Rueck playtime decisions---I recall last year Martha's Dad made the long trek from Germany to see her play and Coach didn't even put her in the game for 1 minute!! And if I recall correctly Martha was coming off of the previous 2 games having played pretty well---I think matchups and who is playing well in the current game pretty much totally dictate his playtime decisions. And on the Martha subject---is she still on the team?? Greybeav noted in the Cal thread last week that she not suited down and wondered what was up with her but no-one replied---I forgot to check last night to see if she was on the bench---anyone know ? |

Marta was on the bench in street clothes for the Colorado game. That suggests injury, but I haven't heard anything.

With the 3 Frosh Rueck brought in this year it's hard to see Marta getting much floor time this year or next....
It will be interesting to see if Rueck decides to balance his guard heavy roster and bring in a power forward or even another centre...
Just thinking out loud....
GO BEAVS!!
