WBB Beats FAU 86-52

Zeleny' Orel · January 7

The women easily beat FAU this afternoon, moving to a 2-1 conference record. It was never a contest. Next up is a home game next Sunday afternoon against 1-2 Wichita State. Only conference loss was to Charlotte, who currently leads the conference with a 3-0 record. Lots of speed and talent on this year's team. It will be an interesting season.

So far, teams try to run with us. After a while though, you see them start to fatigue. Then the shots miss and the layups for us begin. We roll players like we're a hockey team.

Also to note, Brackens has moved up the depth chart. She us going in earlier and playing more minutes. She is an extremely talented player. If she can improve from 45% at the free throw line, she will be one of the best we've had.

I agree. They mentioned during the game that she is adjusting to playing a new position, but her athleticism is off the charts. Heard she can dunk as well.

Brackens the last 3/4game has been sub in sooner and for kernal late in games for a min or two, very athletic and good defender, still learning,but I see a bright bright future for her.see her dunk on Twitter and Instagram

Plus, according to Coach Burton, Dyani Robinson, who scored 22 points, is just now getting her confidence back after missing the second half of the season last year at Texas A&M-Commerce due to injury. She was the Lone Star Conference Player of the Year her junior year. Last year she played in 17 games before her injury, averaging 17.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

As an experienced player, she may be a valued asset to the team during conference play. Excited about the rest of the year! GMG

She’s so quick! When she puts her head down, she can fly!

My youngest met her and Kernal on Saturday after the men’s game. They were both very kind to him. Glad they’re here.

Robinson is at the one year anniversary of tearing her ACL. Pretty amazing recovery to be back this soon and playing at the level she is. Hard to believe she and Kernal were at A&M Commerce. How were they overlooked?

My only concern with this team is turnovers,and lack of 3pt shooting,they should do well in conference and have a pretty go chance at making the tourney.
