These pre-league games are markers to see how well the teams are 'getting it together'. Obviously UConn has better players, and the best coach in women's basketball. Haven't seen enough yet to have an opinion, just seeing snatches of write-ups. Not certain how they'll do against WVa, in the championship game, and guess won't see it on TV either. The pieces are there, and they're still young.

Cannot wait to see a game. Believe the pieces are all there, just don't know if they're being handled correctly. The Press needs four guards, but the half-court game needs two bigs. If tOSU can average 20 steals a game, will be hard to beat them. Like Ella and the big blondie playing together. Anyway, will see how it plays out. Is Katie still on the bench?

Holy balls what an ass whipping. 130-32 over Northern Iowa is eye opening. They've only lost one, the frustrating beat down to UCONN, and if they can win the next 5, and should, they'll be 11-1 heading into the showdown with UCLA on the 28th. Damn 100 point win is ridiculous

After a slow start today they ran away from Toledo, 85-60 to go to 9-1 (6-0 Home) and ranked #21.. Kennedy Cambridge led with 24 points and Kaylee Kitts had 13 rebounds. Jaloni was ok but not her normal electric self and they barely even use the only Center on the roster, Lemmila. I couldnt' tell you what the hell coach is going to do when we play good teams starting at the end of the month. Yet again, we have no development of bigs on this roster so when we get into conference, it might get ugly. We're out-athleting these smaller schools like we've done in the past but we don't have an All everything like we used to have leading the team. There are some really good athletes though so on nights the press is working they'll, eat. But when teams break it, we're proper fucked.

Well, these tune-up games are designed for what Bestbuck notes. Work on chemistry, get the offensive/defensive schemes some play, and have a bit of fun. Yeah, league will be a grind, but that's only because the B10 is so very strong on the women's side. FWIW, most of these 'body-bag' games are made up of people tOSU wouldn't look at twice. And coach isn't a center-centric kinda coach. He's made his bones with small, good shotting guards, and full-court press. Elsa is gaining confidence, and the blondie is working hard as well. Still getting out-rebounded, and remember, Jaloni, and the other sweet shooting guards ain't-a-gonna make 'em all. Sooo, need some tall timber to crash the boards (offensive as well). And if can't get to it, let those small, quick guards fall back against opponent's fast break. Remember, going from guard to guard position is a whole lot shorter than frontcourt to frontcourt, both distance and timewise.
