The MIGHTY BEARCATS invade Hilton looking for a 3rd win in their last 5 games. Claws will be sharpened, teeth will be showing. Come prepared for Blitz-creek. Wear your masks, steel toed shoes, protect your children, trash can lids for shields is advised. OH & by the way, tell BF to put some guards on the floor that will/can shoot.
 
Will be interesting to see if we can rebound tonight. Cincy out rebounded us by 14 last time and Stailee Heard had a hundred boards vs us on Sunday.
IMO this is the biggest piece of what Addy did that we are missing. Harris is able to take over the missing points most of the time, but no one has made up the 9 Rebounds/game we are now missing.

We don't seem to be able to really scheme for both Crooks and A. Williams to be in to get the rebounds Alisa can get. Part of that is Crooks being so immobile I'd guess. Iowa gets away with it even though Stuelke is not a threat from outside the paint but their bigs move more. Also probably doesn't work that well with Harris who isn't a good defender. Could work better once Jackson gets back?
 
Just noticed that the women's basketball X account has turned off replies, which is pretty sad.

I think someone posted in another thread that it has something to do with the hateful remarks about Audi.

Yeah, it was bad enough a few years ago with comments about the Hawk's Clark being a magnet for some pretty vile stuff but it's even worse now a few years later with even more trolls and hateful postings. There's not much arguing that X can be pretty bad and in my opinion it's gotten a lot worse with respect to the types of comments we're eluding to here.

Didn't help that ESPN's main account absolutely torched her lack of defense (which admittedly is pretty bad)...but it was lot of casual fans' first look at Audi and of course they hide behind their burner accounts and spew hatred toward her.
 
Anything on when Addy might return?
I don’t think there’s been anything official, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s done for the year. Very ominous comments from CBF but could just truly be a ‘we don’t know yet’ situation.

Side note- I think during the Baylor game I saw stuff about it being her back but in official releases it mentions “lower body”
 
I want to see some good screening on the outside to free up our guards to make 3's off of moves. Works for Milan!
