Tinkle started last night, her second start of the season. For the season, Tinkle is 4th in scoring (31-64), 3rd in rebounding, 1st in blocks, 6th in minutes, 15-16 in free throws (best on the team for those with more than a few free throws), and 3-8 from 3-pt range.
In the win against UConn last season, she had a terrific game, including playing tough defense on the UConn star (Maya Moore). A friend of mine with court side season tickets told me that Tinkle was one of the keys to that win. She played 19 minutes (tied for 5th), scored 6 points (3 for 7), had 5 rebounds, and had the only block of the game. Inexplicably, she didn't play against UConn in the final four game. She started 9 games last season.
