I was at most of C22's home games (except her first year, of course) and yeah, that USC game was old times. I think the Hawk women went TWO YEARS without losing in Carver and the crowd was definitely a part of that. It's INTENSE in there.

Lucy needs more consistency. She is good, and she absolutely showed up in the big game. She just needs to keep doing it game after game. Like you said, Fever just waived Grace Berger. At the same time, Lucy is a safe rookie draft pick. It's not an easy task to not only be a transfer point guard, but also be the one to fill Caitlin's shoes. Her draft stock absolutely went up, and we'll see how she does during the Big 10 tourney and March Madness for sure

I had the same thought about Olsen. She'd make a pretty decent back-up at point. Fever would also free up some cap space for another vet if Samuelson, Wallace, and Saxon are waived or traded. I liked Berger, but she's gone. I still like Wallace, but Saxon barely got off the bench; 12 minutes in 5 games--garbage time only--points.
@hardensoul72486 күн бұрын
Grace and Saxon were waive because it doesn’t count against cap space. Samuelson and Wallace have guaranteed contracts, they can’t just cut but need to be traded due to the cap space hit.
