Dunbar is a far better post player than she was a guard on defense. I think she is going to play quite a bit this season.

Again, caution has to be exercised when evaluating the LVs against such overmatched opponents but Cooper and DeShields have already shown some one-on-one offensive flare that was definitely missing last season. Extrapolating a bit, DeShieldsÂ’ defensive play is nonchalant and she will need to put more effort in on that side of the game when the season gets going.

Dunbar looks fitter, is moving better and clearly is more at home in the low post. The potential problem is that she is a bit undersized and not much of a jumper so the real test will be how she can match up against more athletic and bigger players. But, she looks much more ready to compete this season.

Liking MiddletonÂ’s game.

Carter NOT AFRAID TO SHOOT THE BALL.

Mercedes, she is actually the slight disappointment so far. She is running the court well but she should be dominating the paint against this team and there are lots of little things in the post she needs to clean up, like putting the ball in a spot where 5-6 players can tie her up.

I would like to get the starters out of the game (no need to risk injury) but we apparently are so short at the moment that 5 of the 6 who have played will have to finish out the game.

Graves & Reynolds better quit screwing around & get on the court quick this season! They haven't been missed this game, that's for sure.

I don't think DD plays this game if we have a couple of subs available. Holly didn't want to go into the game with just 5 players suited up. IMO.

Holly will have a hell of a time coming up with a reason NOT to start Cooper. I know it's a cupcake, but Reynolds never put up numbers like this against weak competition.

Dunbar looking unexpectedly good, but I think Bashaara brings an awful lot to the team. anyone know why the suspensions?

What I like is we know we had several players sitting on the bench today that can really play. We can turn up the defensive pressure with this team with a lot of fresh bodies that we can substitute as needed.
