Ditto, all of that. Very, very well said.
Bostic is SO fun to watch! I’m awfully impressed with how fundamentally sound these girls are…and that is a huge reason Bostic, in particular is able to do what she does despite being quite a bit undersized for a DI post player. She’s got some definite finesse in the post for sure. But yeah, then also…an instinct/a nose for the ball…and whole lot of heart and tenacity.

Coach Gensler must be one heck of a BIGs
coach; because he’s worked wonders with her as far as footwork, and developing her
offensive vocabulary around the basket.

Other than sometimes doing a mid-air 180 degree turn kind of a thing on her tournaround jumper…as she pivots…rather then starting her turn on the floor and then going airborne. (You can see how that could be problematic for a couple reasons)
AND Yes, I’m picking nits…but little things DO matter.

Anyways, I have never seen her do anything that was even remotely non-fundamentally textbook other than that. It’s quite remarkable!

Including her screens. She should get an assist when Mckenzie or Cook drive to the hoop because Bostic clears out the lane for them.

Yeah, totally. She’s excels at that. I agree wholeheartedly…
It might have been you who said quite accurately the other day that it’s “Georgiesque”…and it is indeed.

We saw them on sale for up to $45. I don't know if that's a "scam" for setting aq high price. HOWEVER, they are good seats. But do be careful when you buy because there are $5 seats from the ticket office. The7y had really good combo volleyball/women's basketball season ticket deal. I wonder if that will be repeated next year.

No, I think HE is. Men are playing more like the women recently, not conversely.

I admire (and share) the enthusiasm. However, at this point I'll go with a 5-1/2 year BT track record, and numerous successful course corrections in rough seas, v. 0.5 seasons. ;) :illinois:
