Nevada

" Nevada outscored the Vikings 46-16 in the paint and out rebounded them 49-33." Wade played 3 minutes. Despite her offensive problems this year, she is still the best interior defender on the team. Against Loyola, she played 2:37 in the first half, had one offensive rebound and one basket and played tough defense. She was then pulled from the floor and did not return until garbage time. Every time this team plays teams that have good interior players, they lose. The team has 3 guards in all the time even when they are getting killed inside. What is wrong with playing 2 real forwards and a center?

Where are the posts? we are weak in that position, and where was wade????? We got killed inside...

It is interesting that the large PSU poster schedule has photos of 4 players: Jackson, Wade, Marchant and Valentine. Jackson is gone and Marchant and Wade are on the bench most of the time. 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

Katy Wade was in for three minutes and picked up a quick two fouls. There may be a method to Murrell's madness.

Wade's fouls took place in the first half. The issue is why she was on the bench for the entire remainder of the game. In that 3 minutes she had one of the six team offensive rebounds and at least contested some interior shots. When you are outscored that bad in the paint, someone needs to do something.
