I had this game on trying to see how we'd look on the season.
I couldn't get a take since the game is significantly different than men's hoops. To me, less aesthetically appealing.
Who watched this game and how does it compare to other women's teams?

For their first game and starting some new players I thought we were okay. We play Northern Arizona next and they just beat UNM at NM. After that we play Arizona. Those are going to be some tough tests and should really tell us what this team is going to be. Hard to judge after one game.
Surprising player for me was Alexander. A transfer from Eastern Washington. She is better than I anticipated. McKinna Brackens now in her second year seems like she has really matured as a player from last year. She is going to be good. Roland redshirted last year as a freshman with an injury. She needs more time to adjust to the game. How quickly she does that will also determine where we go. It's hard right now to see where we are going after this one game but, the competition is going to step up the next couple of games.
I watched Colorado at Wyoming yesterday. For comparison if Wyoming hadn't had like 20 turnovers, not exaggerating, they could have beat Colorado and Colorado has been to back to back Sweet Sixteens. A sloppy game but, we didn't look as sloppy as that game.
99 percent of women, aren't going to dunk the basketball.
It is a different game than men, as women will shoot the mid-range and make lay-ups.
I, prefer UNLV women's basketball over UNLV men's basketball, because they are well coached and know how to win.
Not, like Kevin Kruger coached team's.
UNLV women's basketball does not get the 4 or 5 star athletes. They, go to P4 teams, unfortunately.
UNLV, looks different this year then they did the last 4 year's. As, they don't feed the post to Desi Rae Young, anymore.
What, I do like about this year's UNLV women's team is that any 5 player's can average double digit games and not rely on one player, like we did last year.
Losing, Alyssa Durazo Frescas (transfered to GCU) and Ashley Scoggins to graduation. Our, 3 point shooting has taken a hit.
Hopefully, they improve on the 21.4 percent 3 point shooting percentage.
Meadow Roland, is going to be a stud for us. She, is going to be a double-double machine.
She, needs to start instead of coming off the bench.

I was thinking also that the past few years a lot of the offense went through Dezi. Now that she's graduated I was thinking during the game who was going to step up and replace her. The answer could be no one. And, that might not be a bad thing as our offense could be more balanced with scoring from multiple sources. As for the 3 point game the person I'm waiting to see is Ellie Guiny (SP). She got on the floor for some minutes but no one passed her the ball as she parked herself out in the corner just waiting for the opportunity. But, we know Kiara can nail them and Kennedy can as well. Not, sure why they kept Kennedy out of the game until the last few minutes. I would definitely like to see Kennedy get a lot more minutes if she is healthy enough.
Nobody, can replace Desi, just like nobody can replace McKinna Hofschild for CSU.
CSU, looked average to me when I saw the game against San Fran. last night.
It, will be a collective contribution in the post between Brackins, Meadow Rolland and Brown.
Brown, said that she would be happy if she scored 0 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. As long as we win.
Alyssa, needs to score more points. I, wonder why her scoring has dramatically decreased from her Sophomore season.
Ellie Guiney will get spot minutes. We, have too many guards in our roster. Especially, shooting guards.
Coach, is working in Kenadee Winfrey in slowly. She, will eventually get more minutes.
I am kind of disappointed in Macie James. She, got 25 minutes in last night and only scored 3 points and grabbed 5 rebounds.
She's been kind of a bust. To be honest.
