Not understanding OCF's apparent need to denigrate the win. BGSU has been a house of horrors for both our men's and women's teams. Yep, the Falcons looked bad, but our defensive pressure had a lot to do with that. The turnaround of this program has been remarkable. Hope (but kinda doubt) we can keep Bella Ranallo. Impressed with Bailey Tabeling's court presence as well. (Have a funny story about Bailey that can only be told in close company. She's a character.)
Bella is a really good player who I hope we can keep as well, but until she takes better care of the ball, she's got a limit on just how good she can be. Eight turnovers in that game, and that's not her season high.
Asiah Baxter is kind of the anti-Bella. She's quietly efficient. Leads the team in rebounding, and while she doesn't take a ton of shots, she makes almost half her threes and lots of free throws. If she could cut down on some of the silly fouls, that would be wonderful.
Bailey's my favorite player as she's from the same area of Indiana as half my family. She seems like a good kid. I hope she can fully put her shooting slump behind her. Takes care of the ball, can distribute, has good defensive instincts, and does a lot of things really well.
