Welcome to the Lady Buffs CU Women's Basketball Team! :thumbsup:

Ya know, we did pretty well with the last bball guard from the state of Missouri.

[buffgal]

Welcome Kyleesha to the Lady Buffs. Play hard and study hard. Enjoy your time at dear Ole' CU.

Judging by the name i think a "gal" just called them the "Lady Buffs." WE'RE IN THE CLEAR!!

From someone who has seen Kyleesha play multiple times in the past 3 years ...... "Kyleesha is a very good one! Up tempo with a good handle. "

[lrr5195]

Park Hill has gotten out to a great start for the season. Winning 62-30!!!! Great job girls. Kyleesha score 24 pts and 12 steals in 3 quarters. :)

[Goose]

Allsome news! And welcome to the board!

[lrr5195]

Thanks. Excited to be a new member.

[Buffnik]

Great opener. Love seeing that our PG of the future had 12 steals in the opener. Defense is how we're going to be able to challenge Stanford.

[lrr5195]

Yes i agree. Defense will be the key. Kyleesha is a very defensive minded person. So we shall see. :) I'll try not to be an over kill on Kyleesha's stats.

[tante]

that is an awesome way to pull a double double.

[Goose]

LRR, I hope it's ok with you but I merged your thread about Kyleesha's first game into the thread we already have about her.

[lrr5195]

No, that's fine. didn't really know where to put the info. :)

No such thing. We love the updates!

Good, cause i love to give them.

[lrr5195]

4 games into the season, 3-1, Pretty good start, but like i've always told Kyleesha, its not how you start, its how you finished. Keep going hard in the paint baby. 19.5 pts, 7.5 steals, 3.5 rebounds a game.

[Goose]

Those steal numbers are amazing.

[btbuff]

Those steal numbers are amazing.
:iagree:

[lrr5195]

Thanks. Her strongest attribute is defense first, passing second and scoring last.

[cnbuff410]

Thanks. Her strongest attribute is defense first, passing second and scoring last.

Best mindset for a PG

[BeBe]

That certainly fits in with Coach Lappe's emphasis on defense. Right now Chucky is leading in both defense and offense but I think the staff's druthers would be to have a guard like Kyleesha for the defense and distribution to the other scorers on the roster who are developing.

[lrr5195]

Kyleesha scores a triple double in a quarter and a half. She left 4 min into the 2nd quarter with 14 points, 10 steals and 12 assists.

[Darth Snow]

that just aint right...

[BeBe]

Kyleesha scores a triple double in a quarter and a half. She left 4 min into the 2nd quarter with 14 points, 10 steals and 12 assists.
So that means her team had scored at least 38 points by that time in the game ... her 12 plus 2 each for each of her 12 assists. WOW!! A bit of a blow-out was it??

[Buffnik]

Sounds like she did everything but drive the bus. Can't wait to see Kyleesha in the black & gold.

[GoBuffs!!]

I guess thats why she didnt get so many rebounds, there were none to get...

[lrr5195]

Sorry, she had 3 rebounds. i don't know what the score was when she left, the end of the second quarter the score was 49-5. We ended up winning 72-19. Her coach talked to all of them, yesterday after practice, and stated, that this was the first time in his 15 year coaching career, that he had a player do a triple double.

[lrr5195]

Kyleesha's got back in the swing of it this week. She's been out for the past 3 weeks, with a slight concussion. 2 games in this week. 1-1. Monday, a very tight game, but we end up loosing 56-58, she had 22 pts, 7 steals & 4 assist. But what a way to get back in the game. She told me, she was a little torn, she was mad that they lost the game, yet she was so excited to get back on the court. :thumbsup: 2nd game, played against Lee's Summit West, we won 44-34, she had 20 pts, 6 rebounds, and 1 steal.

[Goose]

She is putting up some absolutely ridiculous numbers. Wow.

Glad to hear she's over the concussion. That's some scary stuff.

[lrr5195]

Yes it is quite scary. She's so happy to get back on the floor with her team.

[Darth Snow]

Damn. Not bad for a comeback.

[lrr5195]

There is still alot of room for improvement. And she knows it. She's just happy to be back to playing. :nod:

[BeBe]

Is she targeted to be point guard at CU? Right now Checky Jeffrey is running the point but is also the best scorer, best at driving and creating her own shot, etc. It would be nice to have her free to do those things with another player running the point. It might be asking too much for a freshman to do that but maybe on a part time basis.....?

The Wilson sisters are also better suited to the "2" than the "1", right?

[BeBe]

B Wil has played a fair amount at the point both last year and, to a lesser extent, this year. But from watching their games, I think they are also not the answer for point guards. Lexy has even played some point to give Chucky a breather. Kyleesha was described by Coach Lappe as a point guard in the press release after signing day, but the reason I asked the question is that the stats that are being reported seem to vary a lot in the "assist" column. And that should be a key number for a point guard. The points and steals seem to always be terriffic numbers. I'm hoping she will be the answer for the point.

I think it's pretty rare for a high school PG to consistently rack up a lot of assists unless there's a lot of scholarship talent on the roster. Dinwiddie did on the men's side, but his high school team would beat some college teams and his AAU team would probably make the dance.

[BeBe]

Good point Nik. We shall have to wait and see.

[lrr5195]

so so true. We get so aggreviated on the assists. it should definitely be alot higher, but its definitely based off of what other players do. Don't get me wrong, the kids try, but you get alot of kids that aren't BASKETBALL kids. the angles of the passes that Kyleesha does, or how she anticipates what they should do, they don't. And they have to catch the ball. It's so different in Summer ball. No complaints though. The kids are all doing a good job. Ky's just ready for the next level. She'll help in any way that she can. Defense or point, she's getting ready.

[lrr5195]

Sorry its been awhile, since i've posted. Last 4 games, she's did (17, 15, 24 & 22pts) but what i'm writing about today is her game yesterday. First shot of the game, she hit 3 pointer, but her shot was off the rest of the game, at half we were down 24-11. Didn't look that good. We came out in a full court 1-3-1, kyleesha, being the top defender. Totally different half, we shut the other team down 16-0 in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter 16-8. Ended up winning 43-32 for tournament. We play for championship on Friday. One of the coaches, who we'll play on Friday for championship, specifically told Kyleesha, that he has never seen a defensive performance executed that well. And that one person, changed the whole game, without scoring. She ended up with 8pts, 7 steals, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. The rest of points were from free throws 5 out of 6. I think that was the best compliment that she had gotten, regarding her game.

[Buffnik]

"She ended up with 8pts, 7 steals, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists."

That's a basketball player, folks.

[lrr5195]

And so is this, trainer made her do an ice bath last night when she got home. She also had to do one this morning before going to school. Trainer is also given her another after school today. Both ankles are sore, knee is swollen and ribs bruised. It was a dog fight last few games. She's a trooper.

[Goose]

I love these updates. We might have gotten one hell of a steal here.

[BehindEnemyLines]

thanx for the updates lrr5195. Hope she gets feelin' better real soon.

[lrr5195]

Kyleesha's team, ended up loosing the championship. She made all tournament team, and also won MVP of the tournament. :)

We played St. Joe Central this past Thursday night, in my home town, about 45 miles away from Kyleesha's school, we had over 100 family and friends come out to see Kyleesha's last perforrmance in St. Joe. Also, the team we was playing the coach was playing for his 500 win. Please read article. Kyleesha's final stats were 23 pts, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 steals.

We'll have to have everyone come out to Boulder for a few games then. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that they lost, but sounds like she played great. She has a lot to be proud of. Hopefully she can rest up because it sounds like she was a little banged up at the end of the season. We're going to need her next year!

[BehindEnemyLines]

I like the fact that something other than stats matter to this young lady. She seems a bit po'ed at missing out on the coach's 500th win.

[Buffnik]

You guys read that post wrong.

Weston and her teammates denied the other coach his 500th win.

GOOD JOB KYLEESHA!

[lrr5195]

Sorry about the post. I was posting about 2 different games. Sorry. They lost the championship the week prior. She made that tournament team, and made MVP.

The next week, we beat St. Joe Central, and denied their coach of his 500 Win. :)

Yea, she is slightly banged up, and definitely in need of some ROR. But, there are still some games to be played. Rest assured, she's on a mission, we haven't made it out of districts in a very long time. That's one of her goals that she has left to accomplish for her high school. Stats doesn't mean anything, she wants to win and move on to sectionals and hopefully state. I'll keep you posted

[lrr5195]

Season has ended for Kyleesha. They lost the district championship. She was very disappointed. But excited for the next chapter in her life. CU BASKETBALL!!!!!!! Kyleesha made 1st team All Conference, as well as 1st team All District. She recently was annouced one of the finalist for the Direnna Award, giving to the top basketball player around the MO/KAN (Kansas City Area). She's one of 5 finalist. A great honor. She will also be playing in the MO/Kan All Star game on April 6th.

Sorry to hear they didn't get districts, but congrats on a great season and individual honors. Tell her to come in ready. If she can own the point, we can let Brit Wilson play more of her natural 2 and Chucky can create mismatches on the Wing. Offense could get explosive and the defensive pressure would be outstanding.

NCAAs or bust next year!

[lrr5195]

She's definitely getting herself prepared.

[BehindEnemyLines]

Thanx for keeping us updated !

Yes.

[lrr5195]

Oh okay. :) Well i'll update after all star game. Hopefully you guys can see her in action, and judge for yourself, in a few months. :)

[BeBe]

She's definitely getting herself prepared.
Tell her to keep working!!!! In last night's first round WNIT game, our Buffs did win by a decent (12 point) margin but it was really ugly getting there. Huge number of turnovers in the face of pressure defense on the ball handlers, particularly double team defense using the side line as a third defender. If she can hit the ground running when she gets here that would be outstanding! It's been too long since CU WBB has had a good true point guard.

I've heard rumor that the team may be going to Italy this summer. Do you know if this is true? Will Kyleesha be here in time for that trip? Great opportunity for more practices and games to help the new players and returning players mesh as a team.

[lrr5195]

Sorry, we just got back from vacation. Yes, this is true, they are going to Italy, and Kyleesha will be going as well.

[BehindEnemyLines]

that's awesome!

[lrr5195]

Looking forward to Kyleesha's time in Colorado. :)

Her play is going to be huge for us this year. Both spelling Chucky and giving us a different look that allows Chucky to slide over to the "2" or "3" at times.

[lrr5195]

And she's ready. Can't wait until November to hit. I already have what games i will be at. :)

Going against Chucky every day in practice should accelerate the learning process for her too.

[lrr5195]

Yes, Chucky's a good basketball player. It will be a great for Kyleesha to learn a lot from her this year. It will definitely be to Kyleesha's advantage to have to go against someone like that in practice day in and out. :nod: Make her alot stronger for the season.

Definitely. No one was able to effectively guard Chucky last season without help. When she's on her game, same goes for Brittany (who was playing out of position as a PG).

[buffgal]

B Wil was definitely playing out of position at PG and if Ky can relieve Chucky instead of B Wil, this will help the TEAM.

Happy 18th birthday, Ky. :happybday:

[buffgal]

And she's ready. Can't wait until November to hit. I already have what games i will be at. :)

Which games if I may ask besides Thanksgiving tourney?

[lrr5195]

I told Kyleesha, that i was going to try to make it to at least one a month, if not more, depending on weather. :) You know how 70 gets in the winter. :) But we're trying to make it to the first game on Nov 11th, she'll be playing at home the following week, and then thanksgiving tournament in Nov. In December a game against Illinois and Louisville game in December. Schedule is tentative and not set in stone, so i can't give specifics. Sorry

[lrr5195]

And thanks, Kyleesha had a wonderful birthday, she's finally 18. :)
:lol:

[BeBe]

Illinois and Louisville ..... hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm... looks like the coaches learned from last season that they needed to have some challenges in the non-con schedule rather than so many cupcakes. Good on them. Can you give us any other opponents?

Kyleesha looks like the real deal! She played very well yesterday! It would be awesome to see her take over the point for good sometime this season.
