Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2023-24

ONO is tired already. She can’t hang with this physicality the officials are allowing. She’s never gotten better about that. Barely halfway through the second quarter and she’s loafing up and down already looking gassed. Starting to lose Egbo defensively.

This game is EVERYTHING so far... The SEC may be the strongest conference top to bottom, but we only have 2-3 teams that could compete with this level of basketball consistently... The whole conference has got to improve

SEC officiating needs an overhaul. Think they should call it tighter and reduce the physicality. As much as I hate to say that. Truly think part of the SECs problem in the tournament the last couple years is how beat up all the teams are by the time they get there. Injuries affected almost every SEC team late. The SEC tournament was especially physical this year IMO.

Stat sheet says Baylor only has one block but they have clearly blocked 3-4 have noticed that stat has been off all year long on a lot of box scores. Any idea why?

Not a game for 6-1 Caitlin Bickle started the 2nd did not even play 2mins before back to the like i said always it`s all about the matchups.

 

[JustaChicken]

That was an excellent 1st half between Baylor & UConn

Nope, moment is too big for her I think. She looked nervous, sometimes she comes in and brings it. Bickle can stretch the D, she has a nice outside shot. Kim tried Gusters too but she wasn’t aggressive either.

Has ONO ever been good against anyone besides their conference foes?

 

[Amb3096]

Please...early foul #3 for Edwards and ONO. If Baylor can continue to shut down UConn's inside, they'll come out with the win.

Go Bears!

 

[VolBall09]

Has ONO ever been good against anyone besides their conference foes?

Never. Unless she’s being guarded by someone 5’11 and 140 pounds she’s useless offensively. She can grab a board but she absolutely cannot score against size. Shocking how little it has improved.

 

[Amb3096]

Has ONO ever been good against anyone besides their conference foes?

Non existent on offense, but she does have 4 blocks and 7 rebounds already. And that's against probably the best frontcourt in the country and the top rebounding team in the nation.

 

[Volfan2012]

They get Edwards out of the game going to be tough on UConn. Ono just not that scary to contend with.

Edwards going out was big. She had all the energy to start and was likely going to draw some fouls on Baylor. She was taking it to the rack.

 

[Volfan2012]

Smith needs a better shooting half as does the entire Baylor team having the lead shooting 38 percent is huge. They should be able to do better in the second half.

Is UW AD fishing for Jody Wynn replacement from WNIT pool instead of NCAA Tourney? » UDUBWBB.com
Harris likely to Oklahoma?

If Langley can recruit there she will do well. Her style suits the PAC 12. Always has a tough defense, a must in the PAC 12 these days.

 

[Volfan2012]

The Pac 12 is a tough place to go must be strong in recruiting to compete in that league.

Neighbors was able to get it done there. Took a nosedive immediately after he left. Was pretty similar to the MSST situation. He revived a program pretty quickly, went back home to his dream job, and his previous school returned to obscurity almost instantly.

ACC on the other hand primarily a finesse and flopping league and most of their teams were manhandled in the tournament. The ACC centers fall at the slightest bit of contact and guards throwing up shots at the row in an attempt to draw fouls.

Baylor isn’t all that skilled. But, they are athletic. Love the athleticism of their bigs. Smith is ridiculous.

 

[MAD]

Baylor is making UConn look average.

 

[VolBall09]

I love Kim Mulkey screaming “LETS GOOOOOO” a true image of March. Love her or hate her, she can coach a basketball team.

Yep, she just straight up out leaps you. Same with Ursin and Egbo. Their vertical leap is insane.

 

[Amb3096]

I'm loving this game. Come on...go right at ONO and tag her with #4

 

[PointGuard]

Go Bears!

Looks like UConn needs both Williams and Ono on the floor at the same time You’re getting your wish. LOL
