In response to SecS3
I agree with you that it would have been helpful to have the two freshmen bigs get additional playing time this year but it is difficult with this type of non-conference schedule. They should get playing time when the Tigers face Dartmouth, Brown and probably Cornell during the regular IL season.
Based on the Texas game, the Tigers need not only additional height but strength to help Ellie Mitchell defend at the rim. Fortunately, next year a powerful 6'4" Forward ranked #9 at her position nationally and 43rd overall from Blair Academy, Tabita Amanze. I would not be surprised if Ellie and Amanze are starting forwards with Cunningham and Stone along with either Chen or Madison St. Rose, #11 at her position and 46th in the country.
Carla may be building something very special. Reminds one of what Harvard appeared to have with the Towns - Aiken - Lewis class.
Time will tell if they Carla can take it to a top 25 team with some regularity.
