I'm sick of Pettaway and his attitude. Bench him the rest of the game.

Was she the one that arrived on campus as a freshman and was out of shape, and then there were some issues with practice effort? I don't know that there was ever an official explanation, same with Katya Leick.

Didn't she have some foot issues her freshman year that slowed her down? Could this be a flare-up of whatever that was?

I'm sure there are plenty of bumps, scratches, and bruises after the game last night.

It was a tough game, and I was unaware that Theriot wasn't playing until I tuned in right at 6 p.m. I had a horrible sinking feeling, which got even worse after the first 4 minutes, but then I think once the girls sort of figured it out without Theriot, they chipped away. It was good to see that, especially coming from the younger girls. Still would have liked to have seen Kalenta in the game. I just have a bad feeling I will be watching a year from now still wondering why she is on the bench. Rutgers really tried to give this game to us, but we just couldn't find the basket.

Guess we lost by 2 because they called that last shot a 3.

At least some girls got some good minutes. I'm assuming Kalenta is gone after this season?

Really need to work on shooting.

Might as well just elbow someone in the gut under the basket because it doesn't get called.

Over the back?

Refs need to call those fouls both ways under the basket.

The look of our team will be different next year. With Jess coming in, who also has ball handling skills, Havers with her height, Kalenta, and Washington for some muscle, we will have depth in those positions, something we haven't had in a while. Then with Theriot back, Romeo at point, Chandler with some height, and hopefully we will see much more of Cincore, plus height and decent speed in Simon. And I haven't even mentioned Blackburn yet. Simon has a high basketball IQ and seems to be the type of player that Yori really likes. I'm excited to see how it all comes together. Some more speed would be great, but I think we will have some things in place to make up for not having a speedster like T.

What little I have seen of Cincore, she seems to have a quick first step. I know on the track, Maddie Simon is fast and I would think some of that will translate to the court. The spotlight is on Jess Shepard in this next class coming in, but I think Maddie is going to earn playing time next year as well. Still, no one as quick as T, but you could say that about a lot of teams.

I'm such an idiot! I didn't realize this was on TV! That being said, Illinois drops another game. White fouled out with more than 10 minutes to go. Northwestern clobbers Minnie. Iowa up by 1 at half at Maryland.

T explosive - 11 points in 2:38 in the second half. Would love to see her do that each half!

Need to find a shooter

T will at least make up for it with good defense and a positive attitude.

Rachel still in a slump.

I heard Connie mention trying to work in some other players into the rotation, that we have an excellent group of freshman. Hopefully that will happen so that we have a little more depth come tournament time.

Seems like the Big 10 might frown on coaches chasing refs off the court.

Holy Cow! Matt is really wound up!
