I will say this, looking at Lee and Washington’s play last night it validates for me that although I am happy for both players Washington should have been BIG player of year. She is miss consistency, lee not so much. I have been thinking about this. Concluded: the only way to get 2 PSUers in was to have one D and one P. Lee could not be/qualify as D. So move Haleigh to D; get Lee as P. Hope for best outcome for AA and POY votes. |

Russ said it was a senior. Presumably, it was a senior who was having a good match at the point. That would exclude Simone and Heidi. My guess is Haleigh or Frantti. Lee needs to start faster. She has been starting slow for awhile now and comming in late it seems. Those two outsides need to pick it up. Luckily last night Gorrell was picking up some of their slack but lee def needs to be better. Can’t ride Washington too hard this early in tourney. I believe they may be able to do it in a match but you want it to be late in tourney not wear her out early. Last few weeks offensively it seems to be the middles, washington/gorell getting it done but gonna need play from outsides if we want to go deep and have a shot in my opinion. Personally I don’t think there is anyone in the country that can stop Washington 1 on one maybe even 2 on 1. I think she is that good but I don’t think she can’t win this tourney single handed. Gonna need outside help. I’m not really worried about white because with the type of person she seems to be I don’t see her having another match like that. She will bring it. Hint: Think Inky from 2016. Unstoppable. Veteran. Leader. |

While I agree that Haleigh is indeed a terrific player and one of the best in the country I cant think of a single game or match in 4 years where she won a game singlehandedly. She has ALWAYS had help and lots of it. 🙄 |

MUST WATCH! And, after Nyline makes his surprise appearance after the PSU segment (take a bow, Nyline!) the Howard segment is terrific for: 1) Kupferberg is a great man, a great coach, from what is shown here 2) If you doubt PSU, HE doesn't. Some of the best things you'll hear about our team come out of opp coach's mouth -- with admiration and respect. 3) Real clear strategy talk; where Rose can be a bit oblique, Coach K really breaks it down. I finally watched it. I loved Coach K. He was incredibly complimentary. If PSU fans don't feel proud after hearing him, I don't know what to say. My other big take-away were Haleigh's, Ali's, and Tori's (lotsa "i's") facial expressions while Coach Rose was speaking. They looked like they'd just finished playing Hawaii in 2015. Wow! |

Yes, after match I have seldom seen them looking so glum. At one point Haleigh quipped about her hair and immediately shut down and went back to glum mode. After hearing from coach K, I am wondering if some of the Howard-type joy needs to get back into the locker room...i'm a big believer in determination, but their joy this year also had a positive effect.
