Lady Frogs vouch for A&M as a national power

i haven't had a chance to see A&M play this year. but from this article, the TCU coach definitely thinks they are deserving of their #3 ranking.


interesting excerpts from the article:

The Lady Frogs have played four nationally ranked teams in the first five weeks of the season, including three that were in the top four at the time of the matchup.

After getting an up-close look at No. 4 Texas A&M in a 64-50 loss Sunday at Reed Arena, Mittie proclaimed the Aggies the best of the bunch.

"It’s the best pressure we’ve seen," said Mittie, whose team ranked sixth in the nation in fewest turnovers before committing a season-high 23 against A&M. "They can run them in, too. They play 11 or 12 players, but they can all pressure... They’re the deepest team we’ve played."

That, along with a visit from highly coveted prospect Kelsey Bone of Sugar Land Dulles, left Texas A&M coach Gary Blair jolly enough to wear a Santa cap to the postgame news conference.

Yeah, and I liked seeing Rachael Rentschler Photo in the Article...what a sweet kid, I miss her, and her very nice folks...BUT, I am glad to see her getting lots of playing time w/ TCU.

I watched the A&M/TCU game and although I thought A&M looked good, they didn't quite look like the #3 team in the country. I imagine they will improve over the rest of the season and be tourney ready come March.

I know A&M is very good, especially with Colson coming back so quickly from a knee injury. She bolstered the PG position for them. It will be very interesting to see the Horns play them. Two pressing, very defensive oriented teams. A split is very possible. If we have an edge, it may be in the post with our Ashleys.

I saw the game as well. Although A&M looked impressive, and tenacious on defense, I think we might have an edge with Carla and Yvonne getting into the lane and opening up shots for Kat & Erika. TCU's guard defense on Colson was a little slower than I expect our's to be. I think two keys to our match-ups with A&M are stopping Colson from penetrating so well, and keeping Micheaux off the boards...i think she had something like 14 rebounds. We'll also need some tight D on Starks from Brittainy!!

Just my thoughts.....
