She is basically a starter coming off the bench
Or more from a starting post player not named Bostic

My sentiments exactly. Should be doing more than shooting threes.

Brad has a chance now that Shauna has taught him how to make free throws.

As far as to the buzzing audio , I had a chat with a btn plus assistant and lo & behold the buzzing stopped.....Alas , it has returned for me after 10 + minutes of no buzz........I think it's time for me to get my own buzz and forget about it as the Illini have the victory in tow................

Press seemed to bother them. Forced to many 3s early on. Looking at the teams, looked Illini should have been up 50 instead 20 something. I guess when a win is a sure thing after the first few minutes things get sloppy. Need to tighten up passing and shots when the Wolverines come to town on Sunday.Seems like the whole team is having an off night
They got waxed tonight by Toledo.
Worst shooting night of the season by a long shot - 40%. Next worst was vs. Notre Dame at 48%. Lots of minutes for the reserves tonight but, still, the starters only shot 42%. Struggled vs. the zone.Seems like the whole team is having an off night
Good learning game, and super excited for Dewey to get a couple mins of time on the court - with a rebound!!

Now if Bostic and Cook et all can teach Dain and Ty ...

There may be a secret practice in the works. In exchange for FT help, the Men are helping the Women on Dunking. It is being reported that Shay Bollin at 6"3" has the best chance.
Know we are having fun but it's crazy how the FT% goes down typically as the size of athlete/hands get bigger. There are exceptions to the rule in this but very common to have 1-3 spots having the best FT% in the nation due to these physical features.
Few of the top post players in the women's college game 6'3-6'6 range average around 75-80% in career.
Bostic has been the constant big on our team for a few seasons. She is 6'2 on a good day and averages around 66% coming into this season. Pretty blah....though she is getting to the stripe more this season and over 80% right now.

Very interesting - thank you. So could we extrapolate that as the women's team is shorter on the whole than the men's team, the women are better free throw shooters - currently .793% vs .645%? The woman have only three players that are 6'3" and they are currently shooting .750%, .900% and .733% and one at 6'6" shooting 0 for 6 at .000% so this bears out what you have stated. (Note these are not career stats.)
Holding everything else constant, you would have to assume that the smaller women's ball has a higher probability of going through the same sized hoop as the men use. Men's ball is 1" larger in circumference.
