Watching warmups - UCLA has a lot of height - may be tough for Destiny to score inside. Assume those not here have FS1, so won’t post much during game

No post your thoughts, and observations. I find them very interesting.

Well Betts is 6’7”, will be a major problem for our defense as well as our offense

Maybe she could take over for a bit.

2019–20Rutgers22–911–7T–5thCanceled due to COVID-19
2020–21Rutgers14–510–33rdNCAA Division I First Round
but I hope RU finds someone that can do better and make RU look like this again

On a sad note they had a nine ent of silence for long time fan and former head of usher staff ( before they privatized ushers) Long time fans would recognize him.
If interested there is a thread on the football board

Nice run by RU, U calls time out. 40-54 , still no chance for a W but kids are fighting hard.
Adams with double double 15&11
Going to miss watching her next year

As far as I can tell, McMiller is clearly the best player on the team. She needs to continue to play hard and free in order to keep getting better. Adams is real good too. Lacey and Cornwell are good too but beyond that, we need more help. I like that we pressed a lot. We should continue that.

Great talent too much hero ball
She does have 17 points
17 points on 7 for 20 from the field. RU only had 10 assists to 24 for UCLA. This team is so dysfunctional... a bunch of individuals playing what's supposed to be a team game, seemingly not being coached to play team ball at all. How is it that this team is not getting better by this point in the season? OK, they did limit the turnovers for once, which was nice.

Earlier in the season, I highlighted the poor FT shooting as a problem. Not an issue tonight, but overall shooting was poor.

Say what you will about C Viv, but one thing everyone has to admit is that her teams competed night in and night out. On the defensive side, they were exciting to watch. The downfall of WBB was promoting Tim as acting head coach in her absence. Maybe she should have retired earlier? We don’t know what happened behind closed doors and why she made that decision so late. You have to believe that she really thought she would come back, but something happened that changed that decision. I know she can’t be happy with the state of the program.

McMiller may have the most talent but she’s not a team player. Too busy showing off her handle. Adams is the best player by a mile.

Well, McMiller certainly acts like she is the best player on the team. To my lying eyes, Adams is by far the more complete player. I hope Adams gets her shot in the WNBA

McMiller is the worst player I’ve ever seen with great skills. With the ball in her hands, she has only one thing in mind, and we all know what that is—for her to score. She never ever involves teammates in any way. I would hate to be on a team with her.

She’s a freshman and Adams is a senior. And unfortunately Cornwell and Lacey are seniors too. Lots of recruits needed for next year.

I believe the roster isn't as bad as it looks on the floor, but does need to be upgraded along with an upgrade at HC
