Kolek planning to go pro
IIRC someone indicated that the Women's game is using Net rankings. What margin would be considered a "win" for Net purposes?
Connecticut at Marquette is free on the Fox Sports App. Or the Fox Now App.
Did they lose the video?
Sure.First, Bruno is a good coach and has done a great job at DePaul for decades. They are a top 25 caliber team (bottom half) often that makes the NCAA's and gets a win or two. They have had great consistency over a long period of time. This is a level that Marquette can aspire to more often. As for the matchup. DePaul wants to get out and run, speed up tempo, and play in the 80's and 90's. They produce lots of fast break baskets, and force lots of turnovers. They are not a strong rebounding team. Streaky 3 point shooting. They get as much as half of their points in transition.DePaul is battle tested having played Texas A&M, Kentucky, Louisville, UConn etc ...MU will need to control tempo, get good spacing, get to the FT line, play inside out, limit turnovers, Limit transition, and eat the glass. Where DePaul has struggled are with teams that can defend their perimeter players with length and lateral quickness. ...while at the same time controlling the paint. Those are the elite of elite teams. But DePaul has been every bit as good as some top 10-15 teams thus far. Bekeljia is much improved. Rogers is a nice Frosh. I would go at Morris and try to get her in foul trouble. She'll get her steals and she'll force turnovers. She is a difference maker for them. DePaul doesn't have a lot of depth. Bench points have been hard to find for DePaul. I'd also force non-rythm 3's. Stonewall was a big graduating loss for DePaul. They don't really have a similar player. But they are filling that by group.DePaul is a good test for Marquette.
UConn survived South Carolina in Overtime 63-59.Paige Bueckers had 31 and all of UConn's points end of game and in OT.
Stunned to hear that Bueckers is first UConn player ever with three straight 30-point games.I mean, think of all the stars they’ve had!
She’s absolutely unreal. But UCONN lost their 2 leading scorers from last year, and I think it offered an opportunity for her to fill it up. She’s so much fun to watch. I don’t mean know how to phrase it without coming off sexist, cause that’s not my intent, but her game mirrors top male college/NBA players in her shot structure and movement, as opposed to other top female players. Watching some of Louisville/ND over the weekend, a lot of their top shooters have shorter jumps and punchy shooting motions, where as Bueckers really rises up and shoots from a higher release. I feel like watching Taurasi at her age was similar. She’s gonna be an absolute menace the next couple years
A young woman I assistant coached when she was in HS recently moved into Austin Peay's starting lineup, and she is playing great!Last 5 games, Shy Booker is shooting 68% and averaging 9 boards. Makes me feel real good seeing things like that! Very proud of the hard work she's put in.
Let's go Peay!
