The ladies gave up too many offensive rebounds, which is a concern with the bigger and better teams looming on the schedule. Colorado simply outscrapped us in the first half. The ladies also go through a turnover crazy stretch or two each game. Lots of things to improve on, but nice to do so after a 29 point victory. Pretty amazing game by Sabally this early on in the return process.

In fairness, Colorado had some BIG space-eaters (#10 Whittaker?) out there and they got away with a lot of pushing and once she shoved Giomi (granted she's not very strong) from the key clear off the floor and the glorified high school refs (when is the Pac-12 going to address that problem?) let her get away with that kind of play all night. She pretty much mugged Prince most of the night. The turnovers are to be expected at this point with all the new players still trying to mesh and learn each other's play style. I'm pretty impressed with Boley as she's really upped her game in a lot of areas. She's just not a hang around the three point line and jack bombs any more. She is actually hustling and playing defense and rebounding and kind of been the leader out there. Pretty sure our starters will be Paopao, Mikesell, Boley, Sabally and Prince. With lots of minutes from the other newbies. Dugalic showed flashes last night and Watson has a lot of potential, but she and her team mates really needs to spend a lot of time on their free throw shooting as 60% as a team will get them beat most nights in the Pac-12. Lots of potential here so it will take some time to get them up to speed but Graves is a wizard so time will tell...

For so early in the season the women are looking good. Giomi had a rebound and put back that was beautiful. Our young players are playing their hearts out. I like the unity of this team.

Boley always had this ability and got way more flack than she deserved. She was, and is now showing clearly, that she was every bit the top 10 player as a recruit. I think she and Sabrina were essentially ranked the same at the time. Had Boley transferred to a less stacked team, I think she could have posted POY level numbers the past few years. Boley is starting to get some recognition as a top10 draft pick now too.

Also have to think that Boley's increased play is her needing and wanting to do more now that Sabrina, Satou, and Ruthy aren't here anymore.
