Agreed, both bigs are improving. Elsa, started playing like she wanted 'the last pork chop on the plate', and got down with it. Kitts seems to have a way about her, always around the ball, and coming up with it more and more. Very refreshing. One thing, do wish that both would get more elevation when they rebound. Not certain their vertical rise is all that good. a 6'6" player could play at 8-9' if they jumped. Just saying....

Don't think people are around to teach them really "how' to jump or what muscles to strengthen to do it well. I know I wish Id had someone when I was developing teach me. Girls really get too little of that imo.

Another Buckeye game I can't watch tonight. :mad2:

The inconsistent bullshit makes me want to frag somebody. If one of these damn apps had every game or promoted one school for all events then yeah, it would be worth buying but one out of every 5 games, maybe, is worthless and just prevents these teams from getting any exposure at all.

Sadly I am watching the Lady Bucks in what appears to be a 2 on 2 game right now vs PSU. Merkle for PSU is still having a hot part to her season leading the Nits through this first half. JC and Elsa doing work for the Bucks with Lemmila going 7 for 7 so far in her matchup against Merkle. Both bigs not phased by the other, lol. JC is on her way to another 30 point night and it scares me to say this right now but she's reminding me of a certain Iowa Guard who has a complete game and she's using all of it in every aspect lately. Just need Kitts and Lemmula to keep playing big and the occasional hot shooter to help her out and the sky is the limit!

The small lineup gave up a lead while Elsa and Kylie sat at towards the end of the second quarter but Bryn Martin and Ava Watson made consecutive 3's to take back the 2nd Quarter. Lady Bucks up at halftime 54-46.

JC statline: Yikes
Mins Pts 2pt fgs 3pt fgs free throws Rebs Ast TO Stl Blk
19 20 8-12 4-7 0-0 4 2 0 0 1
Lemmila Statline:
16 14 7-8 0-0 0-0 2 0 0 2 1
Kylie has a few Turnovers hurting her statline so far but Kennedy has 8 assists in the first half. Best Stat = NO Foul trouble.

Yeah man, I'm really bored.

Wow, I really wish I could watch this game. Elsa appears to be "Unfrozen" folks. Boy if this is true we are in business. She's 9 of 10 now multiple steals, blocks and more than holding her own against PSU's 6'6 Center. Chance Gray is a sniper and now the Bucks are just playing with their food with things working at all 3 levels in the 3rd quarter. I give McGuff a lot of crap, and I think he earns it, but he knows how to engineer a Scarlet stampede and when they get on a roll they get pretty nasty. all of a sudden it's 81-60 at the end of the 3rd quarter about a minute left in it. Beautiful

83-62 starting the 4th quarter and a couple things I would add:

1. I'm watching gamecast so it is obviously me just interpreting numbers and that can obviously go to shit real fast.
2. PSU isn't very good and we should be beating the brakes off of them. We are so that's still good.
3. We still seem to be slow or oblivious to the hot shooter under McGuff. They have one girl shootig the damn lights out from 3 and we aren't locking her down or this would be a 30 point game. When it's a Center like UCLA has, it's easeir to understand when she is just too big and dominant to handle but you can't leave the hot hand open on the perimeter, thats a freaking killer.

I should have paid closer attention and went over to the game tonight but got distracted til it was too late. Bummer

Damn I just looked at PSU's shot selection and the shots they've made are all either right at the basket or the same half of the 3pt arc so the issue is in a finite space at least. Should be fixable

Jaloni Cambridge is unreal. Making a serious case for player of the year right now. 33 points on 13 of 20 shooting.

Gray already nails another 3 and it looks like the PSU comeback has been thwarted. And Watson another 3. Ballgame. Lady Bucks on a 5 game win streak and looking good.

Woah, Ella Hobbs making the most of her minutes tonight too. So we've got two at 6'4 that aren't just statues and one at 6'6 that is getting better every game. When was the last time we had even 1 big that had a real presence underneath? Jantel Lavender? Oh I like this.
