re: Shout out to Del Rosario

Did we watch the same game? She stood underneath the glass on D and did not fight for rebounds. The SC center was dominating down there. On offense, she would stand at the stop of the key (was a play call, I know), but its because they just want her out of the space to make room for other players. Essentially down a player on offense and a liability on D.

Apparently not. In the game I watched, Del Rosario blocked 3 shots, affected a couple of others, and got in the way of Cardoso as best she could. Was she perfect? Not even close. But give the kid a break. South Carolina has really good players who have a little more experience.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me...clearing out the middle for our drivers.Posted on 1/26/24 at 10:12 am to DemTigers7
7 rebounds in 17 minutes. But you’re right, she didn’t fight for rebounds against 6’7” Cardoso, who has 8 rebounds in 32 minutes.

Not sure what you were watching. She had 3 blocks, 7 rebounds going up against the best center in women's basketball. Even Dawn Staley gave her props.

This makes it even more amazing that in the time she was in, 16:49, (less than anyone who played except Poa) she managed to lead the team in blocked shots (3), was 3rd in rebounds (7 which is 1 fewer than Reese who had 8 in 28:41), tied for offensive rebounds.

Some of y'all need to go watch Rosario during those all star games last summer and where she is now, not even close to the same person. She will take off year 2 with another full offseason of development and strength/conditioning.
But she has now gotten herself to a point where she can come in and produce off the bench lately in SEC play.
And yes she had struggles vs Cardoso who is a senior. But Rosario was facing the #1 team in the country, this is as tough as it gets for her, she will get better from this

I understand what you are saying, because there were a few times that I saw her not working to get in position for rebounds, and she offers almost nothing offensively, but she did make some good defensive plays, so I think your take is a little harsh. I know she did get credit for 7 rebounds, but it didn’t seem like she got that many. I know she is capable of more. I have seen improvement, so there is hope for a lot more in the future.

You didn't watch the whole game. Del Rosario totally affected South Carolina's inside players in the first half. She forced them to alter shots and she did a good job rebounding.
She's better defensively right now, and they missed Reese in the final 4 minutes because Del Rosario isn't there yet offensively. But being she's just a freshman on the college level, she has room for her offensive game to get better.
She gave them quality minutes last night, and she has steadily gotten more playing time. She's a good depth piece right now, which is important because they don't have much depth anywhere else.
The bench player that was disappointing in the few minutes she got last night was Poa, which is why ended up not playing much.

Del Rosario held her own most of the time
