LET'S GO LADIES!!!!! BEAT THE PIONEERS!!!!!

Thanks @Bugeaters1!!! (I think all of us may be a little distracted with the Women's Volleyball team advancing to the NCAA Finals and the drought in basketball games this week.) That is a good scouting report. Enough to give us some pause! Denver is now 9-3 with a high-powered offense averaging 83.9 points and 9.5 threes per game on 40.8 percent three-point shooting. DU has four players averaging double figures, led by Junior Lauren Loven. This could be a difficult game, especially their coming off a close 66-64 loss.

At about #14 I just about started to get a little tired of reading!

Everybody likes Tanner. I think the value he adds to the team will only increase as the season progresses and I'm sure all of us would like to see him play another season. But I don't know how Tanner feels about it. I think I remember reading elsewhere, or maybe in a prior thread, that he was not too keen on returning for another year.

We Thank You for Your Sacrifice(s)! (Now; And in the Future! )

From Class (Kaminsky) to Ass (Davison); What Happened!

Thanks @kansashusker. I don't think anyone has suggested or perceives there is any sort of ' rivalry' between the newcomers and veterans. More, I think it just reflects how pleased we all are (and perhaps a little pleasantly surprised) at the quality of players that Coach Amy Williams and her staff are able to recruit at this level. As you eloquently explain, perhaps the most important statistic, at least to players - that is, minutes on the court, must be earned, whether you're a newcomer or veteran.

I'm not sure whether I'm interpreting your comment as you intended or not, but I don't believe the freshmen need any additional motivation; I think they all energetic and self-starters. IMHO, any one of them could start (or play starter minutes). But integration into the team and understanding their roles may be a different matter. (Apologize in advance it I misunderstood your meaning. )

It Feels Like CHRISTMAS! (and just maybe a little Tom Osborne-like )
