Michigan Women's Hoops

I’m 6’3" in shoes so maybe she’s 5’11" in shoes.

I will say that Penn State’s C, Gracie Merkel, seemed like a legit 6’6".

Tonight’s the last home game of the season and they’re going against a solid Iowa team. Not the powerhouse of the last two years but certainly a threat.

BRUTAL shooting splits for Iowa. TWO players are 4/4 from 3 in the first half.

Are we sure that Caitlin Clark wasn’t in disguise?

Lucy Olsen sure looked like Clark with her quick trigger and confident shot.

Playing time might not be in our favor if she is like olson and her sister. Plus Holloway and Mathurin ahead of her.

Savvy Swords is an incredible name

i briefly renamed a group chat in her honor yesterday (although was forced by circumstance to change it to something more nimari-centric later the same day)

Holloway wouldn’t have anything to do with her minutes, and Mathurin has yet to play a second of college basketball so it’s hard to say she’s “ahead” of her. Our format is basically to play 1 big, 1 PG, and a bunch of wings. I think there’d be minutes.

Is she a wing type? I havent looked up anything on her.

6’1" forward. In women’s hoops, with heights not showing nearly as much variance (most players are between 5’10" and 6’2"), I think positional distinctions sort of fall away.

So a little more “wingy” then Syla. Got it.

I mean I just think these terms mean less in women’s college hoops

Swords is a “guard” who is one inch shorter than our center, and leads the team in both offensive and defensive rebounding in absolute terms and in terms of rate, and has an offensive rebounding rate equivalent to Will Tschetter (who is a decent offensive rebounder)

So idk

If she’s actually the 15th best HSer the only place that PT could matter is SCar or ND. She will play a lot at Michigan immediately like her sister

This Illini team is highly annoying. Coach just complaining to the officials constantly. Players flexing and gesturing and jawing all the time. Call me old-fashioned, but I just hate that kind of stuff.

I really hope Michigan wins this game.
