Another year, more unbelievably bad officials.
Outside of that, what a day for Heidi McNeill, 14 points and 17 rebounds. She showed the talent that was always there and it is evident that all she needed was a coach to spend time with her working on her game.
What a different kind of team this is going to be, we've got BIGs. Jess had a tough game and it will take her a bit to adjust to the American game but she can move and knows how to use her size.
The offense had some rough patches but the defense was pretty solid.
Sami Whitcomb may end up leading the team in scoring with her ability to penetrate and hit from the outside.
We've got another floater in Katelan Redmon. What I mean by that is that she showed the ability to stay in the air a little like Jill Bell did on her jump shots.
I like having bigs like Bennett, McNeill and Argens that can hit from the outside, as long as their primary focus is their inside game.
I was impressed with Mackenzie Argens hustle, mobility and skillset on the block. She's gonna be a big part of the Huskies sucess this year.
I really, really, really liked seeing the Huskies get the ball inside. On one sequence I saw Emily and Mackenzie pass it back and forth a couple of times either establishing an inside opportunity or an open look from the outside.
Candice Nichols has great athleticism and she reminds me of Dominique Banks in some respects, including teetering on the edge of being out of control like Dom was early in her career.
If Kali Bennett gets into the condition that Coach Jackson seems to be looking for from her players, look out.
I was also very happy to see Tia being very vocal and actively instructing the team on what she wanted. I didn't see a lot of that from June Daugherty the last few years.
I also want us to get healthy and soon, K-State is only a week away and we need a few more bodies to go into Manhattan and come out with a win.

So what is your opinion of the UW womens team after exhibition-game 2. I believe Coach J. was out coached! Do you still believe Pac-10 coach of the year? What about your assesment of Jess after 2 games 31 min and 4 rebounds?? From the stat book of the first 2 games Bennett is out performing McCormmack in points rebounding and assists per minutes played.
Is it coincidence that Redmond and McCormack (the 2 freshman getting the most playing time) are the 2 who asked out of their letter of intent and also filed appeals to the NCAA and were denied. Looks to me like Tia is trying to keep these 2 happy so they won't transfer after their freshman year.
My prediction is there will be 2 or more freshman who transfer after this year.
Very intersting preseason evaluation. So after a few game under review any rethinking of your assesment? Is Tia still your pic for pac 10 coach of the year? In my opinion after the first 7 games it is going to be a very long season and the lady huskies will be lucky to finish near 500 on the season. The coaching staff from my point of view is very slow to make adjustments and has yet to put the most productive players on the court for any substatial amount of time.
If the coaching staff does not use the stat book to see who is the most productive then why keep stats at all?
