Even w/ her 2 fouls, Onyiah should have gotten more minutes. At the very least she should have been in for Samb. Samb got torched on defense for easy buckets and was simply too slow. I would've played Onyiah until she fouled out if for nothing more than getting experience playing against big/tall competition.
agree. cal was trying small ball, but we don't have the depth to do that all game, as Crocker is limited still, and Mia, Muca are only playing spot minutes... Cortez would have helped play the aggressive, all out defense that Coaches want
we got killed on the boards, and Onyiah is our best rebounder, especially against height ... as you say, it would have also been good experience for her
I didn't see much of the game and missed this moment. 6-9 and the highest rated recruit in OSU history, but hasn't played a second for her four years:
