This has to stop.Don't know how they did not call flagrant on her for pulling her arm back like she was going to punch Louisville player and then pushing the player. I can see clearly why she went to Hypocrite U! She's had quite a few skirmishes this year. And Kim clearly was proud as she didn't take her out of the game! Maybe she'll get lessons from Griner over the summer so she can finish the punch!
SMH!
95% the fault of the officials. Once again, the officials (who had nothing to do with the outcomes tonight) were horrible. But they have allowed Cox to throw her arms around all year. Who in the world assigned the officials to the BU - Louisville game?
Cox has had a rough year and never should have been named Freshman of the year. Tonight she missed shot after shot, looked slow, and had no impact on her team's victory. Could she get better over the years? Of course. But at this point she has been terribly inconsistent. Dungee has been dramatically more productive in so many ways than Cox.
I bet Cox would look nice in a OU uniform to the same ones that always seem to want to talk bad about her.
First off I don't not condone Lauren's action and short fuse but I can sorta see her frustration if I was in her shoes. She is the #1 player coming out of HS which is immediate pressure. Then add the fact that Joyner-Holmes clearly out shined her this year and definitely has more talent. Also it's hard to adjust to being the star to being lucky to play half a game. I believe that is a tremendous amount of pressure to be placed on a 19 yr old! Now I agree she needs to control her temper but don't look for Kim to help. Her mentality is to just let them figure it out on their it out on their own to grow. IMO, that is where I disagree the most with Kim. You are essentially their teacher and you have the duty to mold young kids minds!
I don't see where she's had much pressure. During one of Hypocrite U's games earlier in the season, the announcers stated how she wanted to go somewhere that she wasn't the sole star and that she didn't want to start as a freshman and Kim would allow her to do that. I'm not sure how you can diffuse pressure any better than that coming out of high school as the so-called #1 player. Joyner should have been #1 player anyway. Lauren couldn't be too worried about Holmes' play when she asked not to start.
Lauren's diabetes has played a factor this year in that she has had difficulty maintaining her levels and actually wears an insulin pump under her uniform. This has affected her playing time because Kim will not allow her to play unless her levels are right. Not being able to maintain your insulin level resulting in sitting on the bench can only add frustration.
When will we hear from goat milk again?
