And Ace (Knoxville) at Pitt is coming off the bench early, averaging 16 mins a game and 5 pts.

A theme

Happy for Ace and very glad to see her doing well.

A little unfair comparison, though. Pitt has played exactly one ranked team (#20 Maryland, although they'll move up with tonight's win at ND). Seems that about 10 players average 17 or more minutes, at least against MD. In Ace's favor, she did play 17 minutes against MD and scored 6 pts.

Hope Ace has an outstanding, rewarding career, but it's not like she's on a roster with a Horston or Jackson trying to crack the lineup.

Did Ashley Owusu for Virginia Tech get injured tonight? Only played 8 minutes tonight vs Nebraska and didn't have 1 foul. Would be a huge loss if so. Other than her basically only used 5 players.

She’s making the most of the opportunity given to her when she was passed over by TN. Knoxville doesn’t put out many D1 basketball players but when they do you don’t let them out. Reminder she was headed to WVU and signed, same school that beat TN and Horston last year.

Kayana Traylor didn’t play at all and she plays starter minutes. Wonder if she has an injury

Their success does demonstrate the importance of building continuity and familiarity over consecutive seasons.

Unfortunately, that's a major drawback of relying too much on the portal.

Certainly affected our chemistry early this season. Let’s see what the White Witch can bring forth…

Lady Vols didn’t play WVU last year. They played two years ago when WVU had Kysre Gondrezick. Kysre had a big game and Rennia had an off game. Last year the Lady Vols had the better team but they didn’t play each other.

WVU didn't have the #11 recruit committed who was also a 3-point specialist and is half a foot taller.

Who’s struggling to get on the court at this time. She wasn’t #11 when she committed so that’s misleading, the Tennessee brand helped the number move. ESPN had her at 49.

Where was Ace ranked at the time?

And you're ignoring the point that there is no comparison between their respective schedules or rosters.

Do you not think that if their situations were reversed, Justine would likely be seeing much more time than she is against so many ranked opponents?

How? LSU may have the #1 class but SC already has talent ready to step in and SC has the #2 class coming in as well. Unless they land some more big players in the portal their roster will still have holes and also will be young.

Easy to see if your not a biased SC fan. They have Reese back, Flague Johnson, Smith who is a fabulous freshman, Williams, Barlett, Poole, and Last Tear- Poa. They add the number two player in the country which I've seen play and may very well be the number one player. Del Rosario, Velez, and Kent. Certainly easy to that can match SC who is losing seven seniors. Yes SC roster will be as good but not better and will not have the senior presence that it has this year. A starting lineup of Reese, Smith, Johnson, Williams, and Poa matches anybody as a starting five. I'm not an LSU fan but I can easily see how they will have a loaded lineup next season just like SC.

How will they be younger than SC. SC will have one Senior next year and a junior then a load of sophomores and freshmen.

If Key had the moves and touch around the basket as the Indiana center she would be top five WNBA draft. Their center can score through double teams and whatever they throw at her.

Bingo! Hopefully Key can step it up offensively against quality competition and plays defense without getting in foul trouble.
