WBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Jester1390]

Wow huge news for Rose. The all conference freshman from 2 years ago who left to concentrate and has been dominating track. Has asked to rejoin the team.  Nosa is another great athletes and rebounding machine and defensive force.  I believe if she had been playing all season. Rose could be undefeated maybe still a loss against DePauw

They already had depth at guard but now along with the development of fultz they have a 3 headed monster every game with Baum igehon and hein.

Nosa averaged 9 points and 8 rebounds  2 years ago on a team that averaged about 48 points a game. 

Now with them scoring 65 and better guard play she should be even more of a terror inside.  Not sure if she will play in Hanover game

[Enginerd]

Jester do you think the addition of Igiehon will make that big a difference? RHIT doesn't seem to want to throw the ball inside and their guards are doing most of the scoring. I do remember her being pretty good defensively.
Do you think this will help them beat Transy? It might take a month before she's ready to help much.

[Jester1390]

She will help big time. He wants to pound it in. The reason Baum is scoring so much teams are packing the lane and the 3 pointers have been wide opens    Hein is great in the lane getting her shot off.  They already are a strong team rebounding now they will be exceptional l there will be no fall off when lineup changes.   The biggest difference is no one can press them anymore and turnovers are way down

Engine I think nosa will play tonight. My kid said she was dominating yesterday in the paint.  She is a freak athlete she is in terrific shape from track. From what i understand she missed the girls and  being with them.  My kid is starting in the post tonight. Rose is sick at least as of yesterday. Wilson will start at guard. Kid has never played offensively in the post but has the size to do so maybe will help her with scoring. you will see her rebounds go up now she's not guarding perimeter

Looks like nosa did not make the trip. And rose stayed home sick.    The kid will have to get it done in the paint. Barlow needs to get back to her scoring self

[Jester1390]

Great start rose up 43-28 at half.  Kid is playing great defense in post has 3 block shots but should have 5and is leading the team in rebounding. Looks like she's enjoying not chasing the little
Ones around on the perimeter

[Jester1390]

Rose making statement with 21 point win on road. Without burnham and nosa not playing yet. 74-53 was up 28 at one point before final against Hanover
Couple of min

[Jester1390]

also the days of pressing Rose into multiple turnovers is over. not only did they break the press but they attacked the press. I dont think you will see any teams try to press in future

[Enginerd]

Wow - Defensively RHIT looked fantastic. First time since their great 2015-2109 teams that this group has looked like that on the defensive end. Truly elite or near-elite-level defense out there. RHIT les for all but 4 minutes of the game and held Hanover scoreless for long stretches like they used to do with everyone. Pretty exciting stuff. Once they get Igiehon's defense and rebounding they will be a nightmare. Too bad it took them this long to gel - there's no way the team that beat Hanover last night loses to anyone this year other than perhaps DePauw.
Looks like RHIT held Hanover to -10 rebounds under their season average. On the road and without Burnham. What a two-headed monster with Baum and Hein in the backcourt! All the perimeter players played well and you're right, Jester, the days of simply pressing RHIT into oblivion are over - they now have the personnel to make teams pay dearly for it.
Two huge games coming back off the break - home vs. Franklin and on the road at Bluffton - but cannot wait to see Transy again. Sure wish they could have that North Park game back as well - they'd never lose to them again.

[RogK]

North Park has agreed to rescind their 58-48 victory over RHIT and instead show an 87-14 RHIT win for the official records.

[Jester1390]

north park would now lose to Rose with the addition of Igehon
