How long is it going to be before Freshman M. Cowling becomes a starter? She has had amazing stats in all the games?

"Hi my name is Mikayla Cowling and I am shooting a casual 83 percent of the 3 point range this season" Wow
Missouri already over the limit for bonus free throws with little less than 9 minutes left. Could be a parade of free throws the rest of the way for Cal.
ESPN is so confusing.
It says Missouri is up 62-49 and I was freaking out.
I'll go to another side.

Cal has woken up. Outscoring them something like 28-12 in the second half. Love it.
7 minutes to go, MO has 3 players with 4 fouls. The turnover totals are amazing. I'm not watching but I guess we're pressing.
Missouri fans in attendance upset at big foul disparity in 2nd half (13 on MO, 5 on Cal).
Cal still not making free throws at 10-21.
WayneBear, are you there? Lucky you.
If yes, please scream GO BEARS a couple of times for me.

Cal continues to leave the best 3 point shooter on the court open. 5 treys now for Eye. Maybe she should be... guarded? Lead cut 70-64 Cal
Last media timeout. Cal missing a lot, still ahead 70-64. Biggest lead was 14. Fouls this half: Cal 5, MO 14.
Lead down to six 70-64 with 4:19 left. Cal timeout.

No, listening to Missouri radio.
Fouls in the half now Cal 5, MO 16. No wonder they're not happy.
Gray picked up her fourth foul with 2:21 left. Cal still up 74-64.
74-64 Cal with 3:30 to go according to ESPN. Any further news?
With 1 minute to go the foul totals this half are Cal 9, MO 19. More than the last game.
Up by 9 with 30 seconds... WHY FOUL
Gray fouls out with 30 seconds left, Cal leads 78-69 with Missouri shooting free throws.
They still had Gray on the court with five fouls?
FYI: Delay in start of game was due to some Missouri players/coaches being stuck in hotel elevator for 90 minutes.

Actually Missouri fans should take encouragement. Their team had no business staying this close after losing their starting PG and yet found a way to compete. Did us a big favor by playing tough. They still haven't found their next point guard yet though.
sounds like a war....look at these fouls...
guess I don't have to worry about Gray anymore
rebounding a concern. we miss one of my all time fav players, Genn
Cowling looks like the shooter we've needed for so long...was she touted as a long range shooter?

Boyd shooting 5 for 20, 0 for 4 from 3 point and 6 for 11 free throws concerns me. She is our senior leader and most reliable ball handler.

She also had 9 assists, 6 steals, and 4 rebounds. But I do wish she would be a little more selective with her shots.
I'd like to hear Coach G's comments. Overall it sounded like a difficult road trip.
I went to ESPN first and thought we lost, with the scores being reversed there. Any win is appreciated. Things that still need work per this box score - rebounding; free throw shooting; too many shots by Boyd, too few by Cowling.
She should not be the lead in shots unless they are mostly layups!calbear80;842409161 said:
Boyd shooting 5 for 20
Boyd had an All-American stat line... minus the shots. Not sure how I feel about one of the best distributors in the game taking 20 shots. Other than that, can't hate that stat line.
If you were an WNBA scout, would you be more impressed by a PG who can't shoot putting up a lot of shots, or by a PG who did everything else well and got the ball to other better shooters instead? Get the ball to Cowling.
I really like Boyd and have even compared her to Kevin Johnson in an earlier post. But, the coaches need to step in and ask her to share the ball with the shooters.
Having said all of that, I prefer the ball in Brittany's hand over anyone else in the clutch.
Go Bears!

This is the second game in a row where 100% of our points came from our top six players. I hope in some easier games coming up we can start to try to work in at least some scoring contribution from other people.
