I feel like she was a little more involved in their success last season than this year

She was. She started most games last year. She averaged 7ppg and 4 rpg as a freshman. She is 6’5” but does not play in the post, she is a tall wing that doesn't rebound at a high level. Decent player, but anyone who thinks she is a presence in the paint has not watched her play much.

She started 3 times this year out of their 13 games. She is shooting 33% from the field, 25% from three. Takes about 5 shots/game. Averages 19 min/game. Not a big part of their offense yet. Again, a decent player who made All SEC freshman team last year but does not yet have the true skill set of a wing and is not a post. Defense isn't a strength either. Opposing defenses sag off of her daring her to shoot from wing and she is a reluctant shooter. Should keep improving.

Ark can beat LSU, but I would suspect the odds are not good as LSU will dominate the Razorbacks on the boards.

She is 6’5” but does not play center or around the post most of the time, she is a big wing player that they list as a guard, hence her low rebounding numbers. She is a decent player, but anyone who thinks she is a presence In the paint have not watched her play much, it’s not really her game.

She started 3 times this year in the 13 games she has played in, shooting 33% from the field and 25% from three. She has taken about 5 shots per game while averaging 19 minutes per game, so she is not a big part of their offense at this point. Again, a decent player who made All SEC freshman team last year but she does not yet have the true skill set of a wing or guard yet and is not comfortable in the post. Defenses sag off of her a bunch this year daring her to shoot from outside, and tbh she is a somewhat reluctant shooter. She should keep improving for sure, but she isn’t a difference maker for them yet.

I think she is adjusting to playing with Poffenbarger. Was used to being the only player like that on their roster. Having to find her spot this season.

Crazy in all of WCBB Arkansas has two “Bargers”

UConn announced that one of their players (Griffin)has tested positive for Covid and another (DeBerry) has been stranded in the Buffalo area. Griffin will be missed. She has started 9 games this season and is scoring 12.7 ppg with 7.1 rbs. Griffin will really be missed tonight against Creighton as UConn will only dress 7 players.

Here is a remarkable fact; in their game tonight, Uconn will start 5 players from 5 different countries.

Muhl: Croatia
Edwards: Canada
Juhasz: Hungary
Lopez; Senechal: France

And one of either Ducharme (USA) or Bettencourt (Portugal) in the last spot.

They almost always start five players from five different countries. Muhl, Edwards, Juhasz, and Senechal start and it doesn’t matter if they start Fudd, Betancourt, Griffin, or Ducharme, it will always be five players from five different countries.

Wherever they are from UConn's 7 players demolished ranked Creighton tonight. UConn post players dominated Creighton's undersized team. Creighton's outside game was frigid and UConn's inside game was unbelievable. 55 points and 39 rebounds from Edwards and Juhasz.
I think that when Fudd and Griffin return UConn will be a really tough out.

I just feel for Uconn. After their last championship it looks like they were cursed. Every yr is something. They haven't played together and finished a season happily.

Even without Fudd, DeBerry and Griifin, they still curb stomped a very good Creighton team. Edwards is playing at a completely different level compared to last season.

Dont think creighton is that good. They are riding the wave from last years NCAA tourney performance along with the campaign of "The big east is strong" lol smh

SC is favored by 35.5 over Texas AM😳😳😳. How bad are they?

Darth, I'd love for UT to play Creighton right now. Love how you pick and choose how and when to comment. Creighton lost by 13 at Stanford.....

aTm is not that good when fully healthy, but they are without Barker and several others now due to injuries and don’t even average 60 PPG. It will be an epic down year for that program.

I don't think Creighton is as bad as they looked last night. They are a team that takes a lot of outside shots and last night they could not find the basket. They shot 11% from outside.

Arkansas has the same problem they have had the last several years. Just not enough defense to support them if their offense isn’t there.

They are not a Top 25 team.

Already getting the upsets. Michigan State wins at home over Indiana. Clemson beats Va Tech at their place. Duke is leading on the road at NC St by 10 at the half.
