Bone head play?I'm not sure I agree with that analysis.I don't feel that one play,in any regard,determines the outcome of the game.In my opinion,the ladies played one of their best home games in the two years I have been following.They exhibited a lot of heart,and effort,at the close of regulation,and could very easily have won it.ISU hit some big 3's and free throws to pull it out.The ladies played their hearts out and you could see it on the bench.Kudos on a great team effort.That does not always translate to a W.

Just an observation-I noticed in Blood's last home game that,although she seemed to be giving maximum effort,it didn't appear that the coach was pleased with her,and her minutes were down considerably.Although I would expect some players to move on with the hiring of new coaches,I can't buy into that.Why would she have waited this long and not transferred much earlier?Just the interactions between player and coach I observed seem to me to indicate a scenario where the coach is unhappy with a player,not their own recruit,and fosters an environment stressful to both.I would sure like to see some clarification from coach,but really expect only polite doublespeak.

I have to agree with that analysis.I look at our bench and see injuries,but no updates?How about a projection on when some of these players might return?Yet when Bryce Blood dropped out of sight,her jersey is immediately reassigned and she is erased from team literature,no explanation offered either.Very disappointing,I felt like she was a cornerstone of a young up and coming team.Not now,in either regard.If this is how we build a team,by losing young talent,we are in trouble.

Valpo Basketball / Womens team roster changes
December 20, 2018, 01:05:40 AM
Is anyone aware of the roster changes in the women's basketball program?I know they have added a volleyball player,supposedly for depth due to injuries,but why is she wearing #22,Bryce Blood's number,and why has Bryce Blood's picture been removed from the roster page?This has happened over the course of the last 2 games,and I would like some type of explanation.
