Dishin & Swishin Podcast: Maryland & Florida State roll with the changes, eye top seeds

[DishNSwish]

Coming into the 2014-15 women’s basketball season, both Maryland and Florida State faced the difficult question, who would replace their WNBA lottery pick stars, who they relied on so heavily last year? Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas summered in Connecticut with the Sun, while Florida State’s Natasha Howard was in Indiana with the Fever.


For both Brenda Frese at Maryland and Sue Semrau at FSU, it came down to trust. Could they trust the returning talent to step up in various ways to replace the stars? For their respective teams, who would step up?

Two success stories worth hearing; first up is coach Semrau, then coach Frese. Enjoy!

Nice interviews!

I went to the Maryland/Indiana game last night. Had a front row seat between the benches.

In the first quarter Shatori Walker-Kimbrough was running backwards as she was guarding an Indy player and ran into a very hard screen that knocked her to the floor. She didn't get right back up and at the next timeout coach Freese gave her a big lecture on the side line and took her out of the game.

I was hoping to see her play and was a little disappointed. When she came back in it seems she was pretty fired up.

She got the ball in the corner several times and it looked like she wouldn't get anywhere with defenders all over her. She somehow blew right past all of them and all you saw was her upper body above all the rest of the players laying the ball in the hoop.

It was like seeing a female Jordan/Vince Carter making moves from their heyday! You really can't appreciate that kind of thing by watching it on tv.

This girl can SKY!
