The USF play-by-play guy told me she was on Walz's radar when she was in high school in the Ukraine. Imagine here out there with Burke and Schimmel. USF should handle Seton Hall pretty easily on Saturday and don't be surprised if they pull a few upsets down the road. Maybe not against Rutgers or DePaul, who they play after Seton Hall...but WE can see them winning when Villanova, Pittsburgh and Providence come to town.<br /><br />USF is playing in their recreation center this year because of renovations to the Sun Dome...their regular home. The play-by-play guy told me it holds "400...if everyone holds their breath..."

Think I said it last year somewhere that inch for inch one of the best, if not THE BEST, rebounder on the team! Loved the defensive spark she provided also, thought she came in and kept that little point guard in check. She has her role on this team! <br />Think this was one of the best games the Cards have played so far this year, rebounding and defensively wise. Thought Becky did a tremendous job keeping the ball out of the "Russian Revolver's" hand, so much for Benny the Bulls prediction yesterday. But I do see what he was talking about, the girl is long and can shoot! They had a lot of good shooters, can't believe their record is what it is. Thought the Cards interior people, Vails, Warren, and Taylor in particular, played better. Who would have thought that with Becky and Bria both having off nights offensively the Cards can still win a tough game. Thought the crowd gave them a lift when they needed it also. Kind of loud in there at times! All in all a good game and proud of the ladies!<br />GO CARDS!!!<br />Stark61Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
