    Hargrove, a 6-2 wing at Christopher High School in Illinois, averaged 24.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists , 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks while hitting 62.8 percent of her shots from the field and 85 percent of her free throws as a junior in 2022-23.

    Maggie was a top recruit coming in, her primary focus was obviously volleyball and thus, her development stalled.  She then quit the team/program leaving our depth lacking.  In my humble opinion,  her absence affected our depth and possibly the outcome of some of our games.

    Loved watching Jaz play.  She is a great ambassador for the game and the university.

    I have said this over and over again; talent is highly overrated IF high character and work ethic doesn't come with it.  Nebraskans insist on the latter two.
    Alonzo Verge was much more athletic than Sam Griesel.   Who would you rather have on our team?
    So I am definitely not discounting the need to become stronger, longer and more athletic.  But it has to be the right fit in order to make sure this program continues to move forward.

    Caitlin Clark just declared that the women's NCAA games are more popular than the men's games.  Pretty sure I don't agree with that declaration, but it may very well be true about some teams.
    But you won't have equality in the women's game until you bring about a bit more parity.  Part of that is playing these games at neutral sites.  
    Seriously, over the last fifteen years, only three or four teams have a chance to win it all.  There are very few "upsets" in the tournament.  You simply have to go to neutral site games and hope the excitement of the game continues to build a larger fan base.

    Basically, I'd take a more athletic Tominaga type and another Allick type, keep the rest of our core, and I'd feel really good about a sweet 16 run!

    Ummm, I'm not convinced that is perfect fit.  Then again, he probably is polar opposite of Huggy Bear.

    I personally like good basketball.  It is not a gender thing.  It is a quality thing.  We were blessed this year with both our teams playing quality basketball.
    But for our ladies having to travel to Corvallis and play Oregon State on the road in front of their fans does not seem fair or does not bode well for parity.  If the game was played on a neutral floor, would we have stood a better chance of winning?
