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.

The facts about Boley. by Domerduck

She definitely was an upgrade over Lexi Bando who she replaced in the Duck starting lineup. Stats for Boley who started every game for the Final 4 Ducks vs 3 pt wizard Lexi:

...........MPG Avg FG% FT% 3Pts 3pt% Rebs Asts ATO Stls.. Blks
Boley 28.1 12.4 46% 95% 108 43%.....132...41....1.2 20....2
Bando 26.2 10.2 47% 76% 80 46%.......52....32....2.0 20.....0

I don't see how you don't think she's a starter. Compare her to Marina, ND's top 3 point shooter she hit 28 more threes and had a better % (43% vs 41%). As for fitness, I agree she doesn't have a"classic" bball body, but she sure is fit. She played 38 minutes in their final 4 game against Baylor, which was more than Marina and Bri while scoring 14 points, more than 3 of ND's starter vs Baylor that weekend. She disappeared is some games, but also has several big games scoring over 30 twice and over 20 4 more times.

I know I'll get flack for defending her but she is a good player. It would have been good for ND if ND had kept her, but she certainly got more PT playing for the Ducks. I think she will be even better next season for Oregon.
