after 2 games, despite two losses, I'm encouraged about what I saw for the future of this program. Friday night, especially the 1st half, was the best I think I've seen us play since our last SLC road win at SELA way back in February of 08, where we dominated from start to finish in a win, at least on the road.
The FR excelled for the most part this weekend, then again, they have no choice! 2 double-doubles by Megan Herbert, Micah Rice was steady at the PG position, she play 67 minutes over the weekend, and turned the ball over a grand total of 2 times. She also set a school record the 1st time she put on her uniform by going 13-13 at the FT line. We have 3 players averaging in double figure scoring after 2 games, which I know isnt a lot of sample size, but I dont THINK that has happened since I came back 4 seasons ago for sure. I also cant remember the last time we had a player average double figure rebounds, which Herbert is doing right now. Heck, FR Westin Taylor is averaging 7.5 boards a game too right now.
We've turned the ball over 31 times in 2 games, which I know is still a lot to most teams, but since we have in the past few years turned it over that many times in 1 game I believe once, maybe twice, it all runs together, we are improving, which is exactly what I, and I know others, have wanted to see. They are a LONG WAY from being a finished product no doubt, and there is still going to be the need for patience with this group, but the future is starting to look brighter.
Come out Wednesday night and give this group a try. 7 pm tipoff. If you cant come, 6:45 pregame on The Bear 91.3 and UCAsports.com
