Disclaimer, I did not see the game or follow it as I had other plans all weekend.
New starting lineup this game. After not playing at all for a game or two Poole started instead of Amiyah, with similar results: only a couple of points, more turnovers than assists and pulled early to sit at the end of the bench until the second half. Also Puryear started at center instead of McCarthy, which confuses me as it seems Puryear is the more foul prone of the two, but they are pretty equivalent in performance overall.
From looking at the box score:
Collier still a waste of minutes, 21 minutes, 2 points on 6 shots and no free throws once again.0 rebounds two assists and two steals.
Swanson fouled out in only 11 minutes of playing time.
Layden had a poor shooting night, going 2-7. Still once again better than Collier.
Jones played 30 minutes off the bench and is still the only credible point guard we have, getting 3 assists for a team high but also 3 TOs. She was also the leading scorer with 11 points on 2-3 shooting and 7-8 fts.
Too few rebounds, too many fouls and way too many turnovers... all hallmarks of a Gearlds/Versyp coached team against any NCAA level tournament team.
Next up a trip to the pacific northwest for two games against OU and UWash on Plum's jersey retirement night. Guessing two more blowouts.
Creme has 13 teams from the BigTen in the NCAA tournament, so I guess that means we have 4 games we might have a chance in against the other winless in conference teams and UWisc at home.
