Anybody have a theory why Prechtel not playing much? Would have thought last night's game good opportunity

Found that puzzling. IIRC, she was doing well, got called for the bogus foul, got the hook, and never saw another minute.

They like her better when she can defend inside against more traditional posts.  OSU likes to have their bigs outside a lot, have their players drive a lot, and so far that is not Prechtel's strength on defense.  Seems just to be a function of how the opponent plays vs the strengths and (current, because working on it) weaknesses.  Same for all the frosh, and since we are so deep, all the players.  Match-ups matter a lot.  I agree Prechtel has been quite good when given extended playing time.
