Louisville vs Wake Forest

I see Harris and Cochran as more inconsistent than “untalented’; Harris for example was 8-10 against WF, and a week earlier Cochran was 6-9 against Miami. Admittedly, they have both underperformed much of this season, but I believe they can both contribute down the stretch.
I agree. They are talented, but, limited. Athleticism is a factor IMO. When I saw Hardy play earlier in the season I thought she had superior ‘bounce’ when compared to Harris and Cochran. Seemed like she could provide some rim protection. Maybe she is going to RS in order to develop her overall game some more. Istan and Juffer are more in the ‘plodder’ category. That is not a negative. I don’t recall names, but Notre Dame and Iowa both had posts who were not jumping-jacks. Instead they were space eaters who utilized their size and strength to move people, create space and make easy baskets. I think they both can develop into those types of players.

Bracketology and Rankings.... Huh???

We looked like against EKU we had hit a wall, but since we have seen needed growth from James Scott, an all-floor game from Edwards that really wasn't expected and tremendous high level play from Chucky Hepburn. Getting Traore's unique skill set back was the cherry on top in Charlottesville.

There is still potential for Rooth's to give us more production which is important because those minutes and Traore's come at the expense of Waterman who clearly has his limitations. I probably expend more negative energy cushing at the television on Waterman than anyone sense Chane Behanen's fumbling the ball out of bounds from point blank range for the two months pre-BET back in the Championship Year.
CH:
I too was a little mystified by our performance against EKU, but some of these unranked schools can be competitive on a given night beyond expectations. The Colonels refused to go away, and they hit some unbelievable 3s while finishing 10-25 from deep, and committed only 11 TOs. Sometimes we forget that most D1 teams can compete "on a given night" with just about anyone, and EKU played on that night about as well as they have all season.
