Those OSU posts are better than some of our west coast posters have led me to believe. Jones is holding her own against Wilson.
If OSU is the third best team in the PAC I can't wait to see 1 & 2.

these college games may be their most competitive. But they have a lot to learn or they could get beat.
If OrSU could make their threes, they could be ahead. And of course Scotty is obliged to play all his scrubs.

| Let’s not forget BG nor EDD or Stewie are currently present. So getting beat would not be such a big deal. Heck they don’t even have maya. I’m still not seeing why keeping DT for 2020 makes sense? Hell at least sue is playing inspired. DT up to her old lazy no energy games tonight.

| For someone some people have as a mid-1st round pick, Slocum's been wildly unimpressive tonight. |

Well the broadcasters were also talking about these exhibition games also being good marketing tools to help grow the game. We can debate about how effective that strategy really is, but why play national teams of other countries possibly in these other countries when Team USA can face competition of similar or better talent, on domestic soil? And it's not like these past two games have been complete and utter blowouts. The games have been able to be streamed/broadcasted, and there's actual fan turnout - this game did over 6,000 in attendance in which the optics were good to me. Even though these broadcasters tend to overhype stuff, I have to agree with them here when they say these college-team exhibition games have been a real win-win for the hosting colleges and Team USA. Coincidentally, these games also act as a cool bridge from the just-finished WNBA season into the coming college WBB season.

In both games the college team had the energy to stay with ‘em for a quarter. Probably takes the geriatrics that long to get the blood flowing.
Just based on this one game against professionals (which we aren’t supposed to do), I’m not sure any of the OSU players have long term prospects as WNBA players. But nothing I saw would suggest Slocum wouldn’t have the best chance of it among OSU players.

Oregon State in general is a great program for players that are much more suited to the college game than the pro game. Fundamentals and being deliberate, while being important in their own right, are emphasized much more than speed and athleticism. Wiese and Gülich have had a hard time adjusting. Hamblin and Scott (née Weisner) are still fringe-level at best, despite their Team Canada experience. I've talked at length about how Pivec will probably follow suit, and we all seem to agree Slocum looked better at Maryland (though I agree with you that she has the best chance of being a solid pro). Goodman and Tudor have an outside chance if they develop some other skill or two besides their respective sniper abilities, but I doubt that happens for either of them at this point.
