Womens Basketball Blue/Gold game Thursday

[Bobcat4Ever]

I’ve heard Trish mention position-less basketball. It takes a great set of tallish athletes to play, and it’s difficult to recruit a whole team of versatile players, but the ‘Cats seem to be getting ever closer to that ideal. She’s mentioned that 6-2 Teagan Erickson can play every position including point. Limardo has experimented with it a bit. Don’t be surprised see a “big” unit come off the bench with all six-foot plus players. That could really run another team’s game plan through the shredder. I can think of a whole bunch of “special teams” that she could create. The as big as possible, the multiple point guard group, the speed group, the three-point bombers, the ball-control gang. This should be one fun year. Scoring has been a problem for the last couple of years — with the athleticism of this team, and their re-found ability to play as a *team* I expect scoring to improve a lot.

Yeah, I'm extremely excited to watch the women's team play this year after last year's "transitional" season when they lost so much talent to transfer and injury. Binford loves to do her "line change" substitutions and that certainly seems like a good option with the amount of depth this year's roster should have especially after Deden and Janssen return mid-season.
