Just tuned in to the Arizona UCLA game.  Where is McDonald?

Osborne looks very, very good.

___

McDonald sat most of the first quarter but is back in now.  I did not hear the explanation.  Maybe fouls?

UCLA looks better than I expected.  Onyenwere we knew would be a star, but Osborne is developing fast, Horvat is solid, Chou is solid, and they have a freshman post from Germany who is doing quite well.  They play good defense.  This is going to be a challenging opponent.

RE: WBB: Pac 12 tv today - Class_of_75 - 12-04-2020

McDonald picked up 2 quick fouls.

Um, Oregon looked awfully strong against previously undefeated Colorado tonight.
Silly me.  I thought after the Ducks provided 3 of the Top 8 in WNBA's last draft that they would have a big step back.

They look to have a couple stars (Sabally and Boley) and a lot of depth.

#10 Oregon looked better than #7 Arizona or #9 UCLA.  It's going to be a tough season when we have to play teams like this a total of 6 times. But the team that impressed me the most today was #5 Louisville.  They look scary good.

RE: WBB: Pac 12 tv today - Softball Fan - 12-05-2020

I agree about Louisville.  They have a post player who will present problems for all of their opponents.

I find the UCLA coach annoying.  Is there any coach in the PAC-12 who complains more than she does?

RE: WBB: Pac 12 tv today - 81alum - 12-05-2020

I agree about Oregon.  People just did not know what to make of them given their losses, but it turns out they are going to be very good.  Not quite as good as the last couple of years, but very, very good nonetheless.  Sabally2 and Boley are going to require strong defensive efforts.  Sabally2 is certainly not your typical first year starter, and Boley we have always known about.  What surprised me was PaoPao who seems to be a deadly accurate three point shooting point guard.  Having PaoPao and Boley on the floor at the same time vastly complicates perimeter defense.   We will badly miss Dodson, who would have been an excellent defender on Sabally2.

Prince did seem to me to change the game when she was in.  Our own weakness, if it is a weakness, is inexperience in the post, and we will have to figure out how to deal with Prince while defending the three point line--it will be hard to double her and we probably won't.  I am not sure she has reached her offensive potential yet--she is no Ruthy Hebard-- but she is going to block a lot of shots and convert a lot of O-boards and is longer than Ruthy.  


Yup, Oregon has moved ahead of Arizona to join UCLA in my mind as our biggest threats.  But at least it will not be like last year, where all the genius of Tara and multiple repeat opportunities still left us simply physically unable to compete with the Oregon WNBA team.  I think we will still be favored this year, that our defense can defend this Oregon team more effectively than last year's team.  But I would not be surprised at a split and very close games.

Hah!  I think she is just more animated than some.  CTT complains just as much, I think.  Of course, compared with Tara, they all are animated :)  And at least Close is very respectful of Tara.


UCLA will be a dangerous team this year.  I think they will be at least as good as last year, and Onyenwere beat us badly during our first game last year--we could not defend her.  The starter they lost--Japreece Dean--was 2/10.  A key this year will be whether Belibi or Jones or anyone else can defend Onyenwere--who moves inside and out so well that she really can't be doubled.  No freshman--certainly not Brink--will be able to defend senior Onyenwere.  I almost wonder if we should play zone against UCLA this year.


Osborne can probably be defended by Williams and team, but she will suck attention away from Onyenwere.

RE: WBB: Pac 12 tv today - BobK - 12-05-2020

Former cal player Kianna Smith had 21 for Louisville

Van Lith from the state of Washington is outstanding as well for Louisville

I may have to eat my words.  Arizona did not look good at all against UCLA at first, but came back to win 68-65.  I turned it off way too soon.
