When is Silva going to learn she's going to called called every time she steps into a moving screen. She just doesn't learn.

5 points in 6 minutes. It was a great disservice to give this team 10 throwaway games before conference play.

Last year, we had 3 leaders, one of which was an alpha. For all the talent potential this team has, there isn't one leader in the group. Donovan probably the closest.
