I saw Eidle and Fisher play a few times this summer. Eidle is really good, smart combo guard that can flat out shoot it. Fisher hasnt played the best when i've seen her but shes strong and athletic so i certainly see why shes got offers but Eidle would be a big time pickup. Of course it looks like everyone in the big ten plus alot of others are after them so wont be easy.
For someone that grew up in a town of 700, its crazy to see someone that lives in a decent sized suburb 5 minutes from downtown Minneapolis calling themselves a small town kid.
Personally think Braun is the best of the bunch but Battle is dang good as well. Maryland really wanted both of them. That Braun Battle backcourt is gonna give opposing guards fits.
Minnesota's really trying to slow this game down (for good reason). We just gotta keep up the intensity, dont think Minnesota has the firepower with all their players out.
Minnesota had a good gameplan. When Cain was in the game they put her in pick and roll defense over and over again and when Stewart was in they posted her up and attacked her every possession. Credit to their coaches for attacking our weaknesses, something i wish Amy Williams was better at.
Stewart is awful defensively, When she was hitting shots, she was giving up bucket after bucket on the other end. Kiss our NCAA chances goodbye after that game.
Minnesota's really beat up, Jasmine Powell will be out, Sara Scalia is likely to play but missed last game and Hubbard has been limited in the 2 games since she returned after missing almost 4 weeks. Just a game we absolutely cannot lose.
Shes not a wnba player, just too small and not very athletic. Will be interesting to see what happens with Purdue, they have a bunch of highly ranked recruits on their roster but they are a terrible team.
Net rankings are an efficiency metric so thats why it hasnt changed much. Hopefully the NCAA doesnt use that as its main metric this year because its really flawed with teams playing different amount of games and quality of competition is so different for these teams.
