Schweyens

Doubt that Shelby is ready to go after her knee surgery. Jordyn? I don't know. Speltz in today's Missoulian said that 2 Ladies did not make the USU trip.
 
Well I hope Petrino makes some decisions on playing time. Stiles plays 29 mins and only scores 4 pts. Meanwhile Albrecht plays 17 mins and drops 14.

But Stiles had 8 assists and only 2 turnovers, plus 4 steals as a point guard. Her shots will come. It is only the first game.
 
Heard the Schweyen sisters were either home due to quarantine or that they opted out of the season due to corona virus. That is the local rumor so take it for what it’s worth.
 
Watched the game stream and came away feeling pretty good about Montana's potential. One senior; a young team that will get better game by game. The game took a bizarre turn halfway through the second quarter. Montana blew to a quick 13-point lead on great inside-outside ball movement... then suddenly just simply missed their final 7-9 shots of the quarter. All good shots that just didn't drop. USU clawed back & it was see-saw from there. Petrino lamented poor defensive prep and intensity post-game. Blamed himself. But I saw some real promising signs. Carmen Gfeller played with confidence and aggressiveness & will make a great front court partner with Anderson, who shot very well also. Transfer Hannah Thurmon played a quiet game, but her 2-7 shooting is deceptive: all her misses were good shots. Hannah's a very good baseline wing shooter. More important: All 12 players saw the court and 9 played double-digit minutes... and scored. 27 points by bench players. I think as many as five newcomers have the potential to have a huge impact on this team very soon: Willa Albrecht (great shooting range), Bria Dixon (very assured shooter with great balance), Nyah Morris-Nelson (good ball-handler & has great floor vision) and Kyndall Keller (very assured interior player). The most glaring stat of concern was rebounding, where the Utes had a 9-board advantage. It could be an issue for this team.
 
On a related note, I thought that Lauren Mills (Iowa State post from Australia) was going to have to sit out a year? Did that get appealed or did the NCAA simply say there are no rules this year? I must have missed an announcement. GrizzlyJournal - thanks for the insights.
Also, I think a new coach will realize the importance of taking a time out to stem the tide when the other team is making such a strong run such as Utah State did at the end of the second quarter.

The upcoming games against SUU will give us a better idea of how we stack up in the conference - SUU is predicted just below the middle of the pack in the pre-conference predictions.
