This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agree. Few Takeaways.... by dillon77

-- Interesting that both Marina and Bri cited Jackie as the player people will know more about come April (if they don't already).
-- Bri and Marina also thought the frosh class is a very good one.
-- MM sharing that most end-of-game plays have 2 and 3-pt. options, which..of course..was the case in the MSU game. Loved Marina saying that if she's open for a 3, "I'm shooting it."
-- Marina complimenting virtually everything about Bri's game, from toughness and quickness to knowing exactly where to be. And improved shooting, to boot!
-- Marina admitting to wanting a few minutes off to gain perspective. If that's the case (plus whatever happens in the flow of a game, such as fouls), I can most certainly see Jordan Nixon coming in for either Marina, Jackie or Arike and the four of them rotating a bunch, a la Lili T before she was injured. Assuming she plays up to what she did in Rome and Croatia.

Season can't come soon enough!
