"Illinois junior center Jenna Smith should be a unanimous pick for the preseason team." I love Jenna Smith and she surely deserves some kind of award for carrying Illinois on her back, if nothing else.......but I believe she is a senior.

She's a looker!........ Actually they are all lookers. I just had a long look at the Stanford group picture and we win the "team beauty award" by miles and miles. The trouble is they waxed us on the court. Maybe we can fix that this year.

lord vegas, you are very welcome. Tayler handles well for a freshman. She is tall and long for a guard and thus the ball bounces high. After Shavelle Little has swiped it away from her about 20 times in practice I think Tayler will bring it down a bit. As far as ball handlers go, if Sammy is a...

I watched Tayler Hill in two high school games (taped). I saw her in 6 or 7 summer league games, officiated but, obviously, not coached. Not many observations, I agree, and I am certainly no expert but these were some of my impressions. She is listed as 5'10" but looks to be 5'11", very long...

Quote "Last year I always wanted someone else (besides the big 2) to step up and be a threat that demands attention." You may have overlooked Brittany Johnson. As a freshman she was pretty much lost but I have never witnessed more improvement, sophomore over freshman, than I have with...

Ok, this article got me revved-up (again) about Sammy, Jantel and the Buckettes. Football is taking too long to get here and I have too much time on my hands soooo I am going to make a too early and very optimistic preseason prediction on the women's basketball rankings for 2009-10. If I...

Posted: 08/02/09 8:26 am ::: Reply USA...87 Spain...71 GOT THE GOLD !!!!! Super job u19's, bit of a swoon in the third quarter ( well not really but it scared me a little) as the halftime lead of 19 dropped to 12. That was as close as it got. Two good friends did a darn good...

Spain eviscerated Argentina with a 17-0 start and though Argentina made a nice comeback in the second quarter, Spain dominated the second half and won by 18. Final...Spain 67...Arg. 49. Spain looks to be for real folks, very big and very physical, so obviously USA needs to come out firing on...

USA 82 Canada 51 Looks like we stole the canadian bacon and beat our neighbors over the head with it but I can't find any stats. It must have been like a game of HORSE because Bone had 16 points but only 1 rebound, and Prahalis had 11 points and only one assist.

Wow, this is getting good ! We will not be meeting Australia in the semi's because Canada beat them in a stunner 50...49. Thus we will meet Canada who, earlier, we beat in a grinding defensive sandpaper job 64....50. Speaking of defense, both Diggins and Prahalis were in foul trouble in the...

USA 109 Japan 68 Next is France. We won a "friendly" with them earlier but this time it may not be so friendly......perhaps, not friendly at all. Scintillating Sammy simply shot seventy plus percent.

USA 75 Russia 56 Evidently the game was tied at about 45. At that point an early Siberian cold spell froze over the Russian basket. Scintillating Samantha dishes seven assists.

Summer stuff Saw them play monday. Especially interested in the newbies Emilee and Tayler. Wow was I impressed. I am sure many on this board have seen Emilee play in HS but I have not. I did see one all star game where she handled well and dished 4 or 5 assists with some really fine passing but...
