MVP so far
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:57 pmBrittany Gilliam has led the team statistically through most of the season, but to me, the MVP so far (and I don't think it's close) has been Delisha Wills.
A few times yesterday, she had a shot and passed it up to get the ball to a teammate who had a better shot. Twice she saw a teammate turn the ball over at the top of the key (when she was in the low post) and she was the one who made it all the way back to the defensive end of the floor to get the ball back.
Maybe the most impressive example was at TCU. Took my family over to see THE PONIES BEAT TCU, and late in the game, when the MFFrogs were creeping back into it, Wills stopped her teammates as they were heading to the bench for a timeout and held her own little mini-timeout on the floor. Don't know what she said, but she was really intense getting her point across ... and of course, we closed out the win.
Coach R has talked about how we miss the points and rebounds that last year's seniors gave us, but maybe we miss their experience and leadership even more. Looks like the intensity and competitiveness that we got last year from Dodds and Shepherd and Cobb might come from Wills now.
BEAT THE HELL OUT OF MARSHALL!
