Thoughts about MG as POY from BU

She’s a “stats queen” whatever that means. It’s not like she’s Troy Davis rushing for 2000 yards on a terrible Iowa St team. Iowa is a 2 seed for crying out loud.

"Another Carleton in my book. Stats queen."

Heh, heh, heh,... idiot.
 
Another Carleton in my book. Stats queen.

No way. She is not as skilled for battle with a big 5. KB or McGowan would give her lessons. Let her play in the Big 12 or SEC or ACC or PAC 12 and see how she fares.

Does not compute.

While it would be a huge challenge, would love to see the Hawks face Baylor to go to the final four. Would love to see their comments on MG after that.
 
Baylor has 2 bigs, so I guess I'm wondering why one of them is not leading the nation in scoring or FG%, along wi top 4 in a few other stats if it's so easy.

Because the Big 12 is a real conference that plays defense unlike the Big 10. You can't just accumulate stats easily unless you are a stat queen.

If you're an actual good player on a good team then you can't put up stats against good competition, it's just not possible.

That's a lot of baloney right there.
 
I know, I'm mocking the Baylor fans. ;)

Yes, Gustafson will do well against whoever Iowa would play, as she has done well against everyone. She was good against Notre Dame, although the game itself was not much of a contest. My guess is Iowa vs Baylor would go very similarly, the Baylor team is superior athletically by quite a margin at every position. Iowa had zero ability to stop Notre Dame on defense, just really hard to overcome that disadvantage.

I thought it was defined as the gap between a person who can spell it and another person who cannot.
Nope. "Sarchasm" is from a list of words that's been around the Internet for years. It's pretty funny.

The idea is that you change ONE letter -- you can change it, or delete, or add it -- to get a new definition. Other examples:

Reintarnation -- Coming back to life as a hillbiilly.

Ignoranus -- Someone who is not only stupid, but an asshole.

Osteopornosis -- A degenerate disease.

Karmageddon -- When everybody is sending off these really bad vibes, and then the Earth explodes and its a serious bummer.

Let's remember that this is coming from a fan base, whose
Athletic Dept came the closest to the death penalty of anyone, since
SMU just a couple years back.

GO HAWKS !!! :)
 
They clearly have never watched Iowa play other than the Big Ten title game. Maryland tried playing her with one defender or by bringing a second over after she caught the ball. Horrible game plan.

Against every other team she’s been double teamed and as soon as she catches the ball a third defender comes over. How the hell can you be a “stats queen” when you’re double and triple teamed every possession? Not to mention, she shot 70 percent from the floor. Not exactly jacking up 30 shots a game to get her 28 points.
 
Maryland also got VERY physical with Megan. I suspect Baylor will take that same approach.
It seems that was the approach of everyone in the Big Ten tourney. They really pushed, shoved and elbowed her all game; even away from the ball and up and down the court. If the officials watch that closely in the NCAA tourney, teams will have 2-3 people foul out just trying to guard her.
 
The amount of contact teams get away with while guarding Megan still astonishes me. Referees could call fouls against her defenders multiple times on every single possession. The Big Ten Championship was a rare exception where they actually called things tighter.
