Kellie Harper is cursed. Period. Terrible news about Wells. Game buddy said that looked like a season ending brace. Wells has been struggling but she's shown flashes. Glad she has another year, she's probably played a little to much for a med redshirt. It's another impactful injury blow, it leaves us paper thin at pg. As someone said upthread, love Kaiya and her improvement but just no to her as backup pg. Jewel seems a better option and we may see Edie some.
Thank goodness JP is playing her butt off. She was terrific tonight. She is really locked in right now. Still a tall order to be the PG one and only going into SEC play. Scary as hell.
But how, how in the world, does JP keep doing the world's worst end of quarter play? Several have said it's actually the plan for her to overdribble, never pass, and throw up an awkward prayer at the buzzer. Are there really people on that sideline who think this is a good idea? Everyone sitting around me was like "Oh Jeeze, here it goes" and actually laughing. That this continues is just gobsmacking to me.
Great to get RJ back and hooray for 20 mins. I believe she could score in double figures in her sleep. But man, she was frustrated with herself over all the missed shots. She was cruising a bit, not going full tilt yet, but still collected six rebounds. Now we just have to hope the dreaded lower leg feels ok in the morning.
Sure was nice to see Jewel get on back on track. We need her scoring. Also thought Sara played well. Those two really benefit fm Rickea's presence.
