Not quite following the stat line. If she put up 59 shots, 42 of which were 3-pointers (3PTA), how does she have 42 FG? Are you including free throws in the 59 shots she's put up? Either way, 42 3-pt attempts this year compared with 29 3-pt attempts last year and 12 mins vs. 9 mins per game is...

Agreed. Even if Russell and Green get the bulk of the minutes I can't understand why KK still couldn't get a few runs in. Game experience is priceless and she hasn't done BAD in the few appearances she's made. Why don't we use/develop the tools we have. I've wondered the same thing about...

The team is much deeper than it was last year. Last year they were extremely short-staffed and Mercedes, Jaime, and the other starters had to play more minutes than they do now yet they didn't seem tired, so I don't think fatigue is the issue. And I love Jaime, but...the best player on the...

Definitely saw "Trials", a.k.a. Try-outs, more than once but thanks for the info.

I wouldn't rule this out. UConn seems to just have their way when it comes to WBB. I guess that was my frustration...giving try-out spots to a bunch of UConn players who had no intention of joining the team when there were several other girls (elite players) who would have cherished the...

Thanks for the breakdown. And yes from what I saw in the scrimmages Jaime and Mercedes played well and earned their spots! Regardless! Both of them got a lot of PT, it was clear the coaches/committee liked their game.

Perhaps it was stated on a different thread, I hadn't seen this explanation here. It makes sense. But does the selection committee stay the same for each USA team? I thought it was primarily the head coach's decision who makes the team and who doesn't (hence the big blowup about Geno selecting...

Still don't understand why they even invited them if they weren't going to be on the team. Seems like a waste of spots for trials.

Vice versa, a bit late. But what is the reason for all the "very"s?

Oh my goodness... did she seriously delete her account?? I can't remember a time when things were this messy... We need our own reality show at this point. smh

Honestly I think it's great that SC makes tickets affordable so that more people can attend the games. I'm sure they are creating a ton of new women's basketball fans...especially with SC's success. The same thing is happening at MS State they are getting a lot of love in Starkville. This is not...

I find it very hard to believe this rumor, but I wouldn't be surprised. I always thought Diamond's choice of school (UNC and UT) was based on Te'a being there and not the other way around as most people thought. Te'a's gone now and Coach Law is too... I'm sure it's a serious effect on her...

It seems some posters here are very informed on this situation but they only shell out bits and pieces of information while we all sit here and try to piece the puzzle together. First I thought they were being cautious due to the sensitive nature of the subject. But here it is a well-known media...

They may not be the perfect fit but they need someone who understands and can light a fire under them. Been focusing on the Xs and Os approach for a while now and it's not working. Just because a coach has a squeaky clean record that doesn't mean they'll bring what a particular team needs.

Definitely.
