Last year Mikesell was the focus of my ire, but this year it is the pathetic rebounding of Prince that bothers me most about this team.greenyellow wrote:For as much as Graves talks up Prince, she just disappears from games and her rebounding is real lackluster for someone her height.

It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: WBB vs UCD
As pessimistic as you are, I am commensurately optimistic about this team. We lack a top level point guard, and two all-pac PGs are on the bench right now. Sheer struggles in the role right now. Get those players healthy and Sabally back in the mix and this team will make the Elite Eight, and have a shot beyond that...shoparound wrote:Well they already at 3 losses (4-3) and BARELY got by Portland.
This is going to a rebuilding season. All the work that Sabrina, Satou, Maite and Ruthie have done, might be to an end by mid-season. This team might not even make the NCAAs.
As someone else mentioned, these early season injuries may turn into a blessing by seasoning of some of the younger players for a deep run. Given the quality of the teams they've played, and who has been missing from each loss, the 3 losses are completely explainable in my opinion.
