| First time seeing Pivec and I really like her game for a freshman. Anigwe has scored on some nice buckets too thus far.

| OSU just too much for Cal. 52-37 with just under 9 to go.

I feel like I'm watching an early Fowles-era Chicago Sky team. Dominant post player who puts up big numbers but whose overall impact is neutralized by an offense overly reliant on feeding the paint. Cal's guards are really letting them down here.
Also, Scott Rueck is REALLY freaking good, so there's that too. Terrific coaching.

THIS...despite the WSU & Marquette losses...he's done a terrific job maintaining continuity from last year...didn't expect that. |

I thought OSU has only lost to Marquette, not WSU.

I feel sorry for Anigwe. She goes out and scores 26 while shooting 11 of 19. 58%. Meanwhile, the entire rest of the team shoots a combined 12 of 41. 29%. 4-12, 1-7, 1-6, 2-6, etc.
She can't do it all by herself, but she's getting no help at all.

Yeah, I've thought that too. It's interesting how teams deal with a dominant post presence. It was awful to watch Chicago throw the ball away time after time because all they did was try to throw it in to Fowles and defenses were totally set up for that. It's the main reason I got so down on Pokey. And one of the reasons I've questioned Gottlieb. Range is actually very talented. I've been impressed with their Freshman Thomas and it helps that she can actually shoot as they've traditionally been a bit short on good shooters. Both Cowling and Davidson have had good showings too...so it's a mystery why they can't seem to really put it together. They're really dangerous because it seems like on any particular night, the light could come on and they could be awesome. OrSU isn't spectacular and is definitely a reflection on Rueck - totally nose to the grindstone and just continue to work even against more 'talented' teams.

True. Just Marquette. That was a bit of a wake up call.

Question for the left-coasters;
I have no idea what sort of school OSU is or what kind of campus they have but I'm wondering why Oregon recruits would pick Tennessee over OSU, or OU for that matter.

Program prestige? I can't remember the records but Graves wasn't at Oregon when the 3 Oregon kids at UT were recruited. I'm thinking OSU was rebuilding at that time but I could be wrong.

| Eugene (Oregon) is a 'liberal' mid size city that ranks pretty high nationally in terms of a nice place to live/raise kids and the University has a big presence in the culture. Oregon State is in a much smaller town, more conservative, and started out as an agricultural college...so it depends on what you're looking for. Either one might be considered boring for local kids. Plus I think the grass tends to be greener elsewhere...at least for some. Plus there is that ego thing of being recruited by the best. Both local programs have improved in recent years, which I think also make it more attractive to the better recruits. We shall see.
