Same line-up with Brent Blum returning as Color.
6'-0" senior guard Brittany Martin got 26 points and 10 boards against BU, close to her average of 24 and 10.4. Their next scorer is 6'4" soph center Kaylee Jensen, averaging 15 pts,, 8 boards and 58% FT. threes don't seem to be important to this team - taking few and hitting less. Look for defense on assist leader 5'4" sr. guard Patton. I like our chances. Every game our posts get better and we're pretty decent balance on scoring with four players averaging in double digits and Kidd a constant, if inconsistent, threat; Mer and Em capable subs. CBF loves to prepare for a team with a single leading scoring threat.
Before they beat Baylor, OSU record looks a lot like KSU did - one quality win - 9-3 Washington State at home and one loss - to 7-3 South Florida on the road. BU is still an unknown quantity, Kim got scheduled out of the big non-con match-ups so there's no measuring stick in a lackluster schedule except the loss to OSU.
It's still early for meaningful numbers, but in a couple of months RPI will be critical. The BIG XII slipped by ACC on Wednesday - probably due to the Pittsburgh loss to A 10 Duquesne. Once non-con is over, the conference RPI is locked in. We're in fourth and likely will stay. Officially, Duke has slipped to 17, KSU down to 42 and Iowa is up to 18. OSU is 35 and ISU is up to 88. RealtimeRPI is close at 36 and 87. We've a ways to go to impress the committee. Keep winning.
