I would also like to wish Anticevich a speedy recovery. This was a satisfying game to watch, but it's a bummer that the team lost his services just as Hyder became eligible.
That's the critical question. Can the team be the sum of all its parts ? Or will Bradley's hero ball take over once he returns. If it is the former, I think we have a shot of being a .500 or better team for the season.
Totally agree. I love Bradley & applaud the obvious work he has put in to seemingly become a more complete player (improved mid-range game & not settling for just 3’s, using his LB body to get to the tin, albeit w/ multiple charges per game, etc.). With Makale & Betley, tho, along with Grant, the team has capable shooters, so MB probably doesn’t need to be taking nearly half of our shots. Also, with his size, he’s a capable rebounder on a team that needs boards if they’re gonna play those guys altogether w/ Hyder, which looks to be our best offensive lineup.
I’d love to see what happens to this team if MB’s rebounds & assists per game go up whilst his ppg goes down....
There are two scholarship guards who are healthy on the women's team. All of the highly ranked recruits are bigs/posts. If you can't get them the ball, can't dribble upcourt without a turnover, can't make any passes - you're not going to win.
I don't think Garbers OR Casey can really shoot well enough to garner playing time on this team. Add in shaky handles and really, an inability to play basketball at the Pac-12 level at all, I think they should stick to playing football.
We finally got a Mark Fox team to shoot all the 3s! Alas, up until this game, our eFG was in the dumps.
Can we drag our eFG back up to the 150s? That would be really swell.

On the radio, they said Kuany Kuany had to take him to the emergency room.
I was hoping KK would make a bigger impact on the program in year 2 than just this!

Don't forget about Brasch
