CNC would be a better coach if she really saw which of her players were "in the game"…… can't convince me that Bella wasn't a handicap to the team despite the win. She is slow, clumsy, and commits too many fouls. If her 3 point shooting was more consistent than her overall defense, then her presence could be positive.

Great game! Handled crooks better than anyone . But we HAVE to stop the turnovers from illegal screens. They are watching for it and calling it all day! When we put them in bonus with 6:30 left and they had not fouled one time, i was afraid they would kill is with free throws down the stretch.

Bella was in for her D by fronting Audi, not her O.

This team plays differently when Taliah is playing well and when she is not. When she was off, other players, take it on themselves to pick up on the offensive end. When Taliah is hitting, we do much too much standing and few payers seek their shot when open. Taliah was hitting much better in the second half and certainly made the game winning shot, but her shooting percentage was still less than 50% second half. We need players to continue to be an offensive threat besides just Taliah when she is on the court and scoring. We need both, not with/or.

I agree but we need her offensively as well. Hoping she gets out of her funk.

Strongly agree. I hate when we just stand at the perimeter, it drives me nuts. If everyone would look for the shot we could be a dangerous team.

It's much easier to handle Crooks when Williams can't hit an open jumper.

There is a reason we played so far off her. It was a gamble but the alternative was playing crooks straight up and pretty sure that would have been worse.

Great game Lady Bears! Johnsons 9 & 9, Deng's 12, Buggs 30 rebounds, and JVG's play (only 1 TO) were good to see. Scott really didn't have a great overall game, but came up HUGE in the second half and on the final shot. I will give credit where credit is due. I wasn't expecting this final score with the game at ISU, so congratulations to CNC and the team!

Deng needs much more playing time. She is a shooter and plays hard. Bella needs to sit. She is digressing. I liked the fight shown by Buggs today. Getting benched in the OSU game must have sent a message.

Exchange Bella's minutes with Deng and we score 10 more points.

Bella when we need Defense and Deng when we want to run and gun

In fairness, the term "junk defense" is actually a technical basketball term, not a dig at our strategy. It refers to a hybrid defense where one or more offensive players are guarded man-on-man while other parts of the court are guarded with a zone.

I'm not actually that smart, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I've learned a good amount from listening to Coach Nicki Collen's press conferences.

Thanks. I thought they were butt hurt.
