Maddy and Destiny add a level of athleticism that the team has been missing the last 3 years. The quickness and speed gives steals, fast breaks and easy baskets.

Shauna is building a juggernaut.

We beat MD so beating Michigan is possible but it will require a great game from everyone!

:ah:

Great analysis. Not sure if Gretchen can score 20 with the way she has been shooting.
But perhaps its time for her to break out of her slump!!!

Gretchen can score 30 plus on any given night.She has positional size good handle,some go to moves,and really good shooting She is still believe it or not rounding into shape. It's very hard to comeback from a year long rehab.This goes for Lety and somewhat Aaliyah too. Your weight is off your footing is awkward.Your mental blueprint of your own game is not in sync..It will fine tune. If it does this season we can go far for sure.But really I would love just steadying from those three.Aaliyah shooting looks a bit short.Lety just sometimes looks like she's playing with ankle weights on..lol..We need them all for what I believe to be special season before the REALLY SPECIAL season next year...

Yep that’s 90 points not counting Cearah and Aaliyah! That’s a National championship. I’m all for it.

Would be major upset to win on road at top 5 school. Our team is so young it does not know that is next to impossible so they will do it!

Watched a replay of Penn State game. Cearah fell to the floor 10 times in 24 minutes! Hard landings almost every time. She's got to be sore and bruised.
We cannot afford for her to get hurt we absolutely need her healthy. It seems like this happens every game.

This would be bigger win than MD since it is on the road.

This is type of win that could get us #3 or #4 seed in big dance which would mean a chance to host :chief:

Do they not have the cylinder violation in women’s games? The traps are set and Illinois player can’t stand up straight because Michigan players are on top of them.
