The game was a good indication of where the team is right now. It was its best offensive game of the season; it has played better defense.
Kent had 18 assists on 28 baskets. Korinek and Cross made some nice passes to Stephens on backdoor cuts. Stephens 22 points was a career high.
Golden had a career-high 18 points, two three-pointers, nine rebounds, three assists and two steals. We've called her a defensive specialist the last two years; she's much more than that.
Poole is much improved over last season, especially on defense.
As Burden said, they're not getting much bench scoring. James has potential. So does freshman Monique Smith, who played only a few minutes Thursday. Everything I hear says Megan Carter will be back for the Robert Morris game after final exams and that she's doing very well mentally and in practice.
Coach Todd Starkey liked his teams intensity in the second half but complained about fourth quarter turnovers. KSU led by 10 twice and let Detroit cut it to three.
Korinek had significant tightness in her hamstring and struggled in the first half. She missed her first six shots. She had been making 62 percent from the field.
Detroit is 0-6 but is one of the better winless teams I've ever seen. They've lost to teams with a combined 24-10 record.
