What's up with Bjorklund

[schooner2]

Was really looking for Bjorklund to have a great year. But in her last game (CU vs ISU, yesterday), Bjorklund played only 9 minutes and only 13 minutes the game before that and only scoring a few points. What's up?

Was wondering the same thing. I had her for Hoopla last Saturday and she came up with -1.0. She was really tearing it up in the pre-conference schedule, now she's playing less than a half per game.

Hartshorn was injured early in the season. She has now recovered. It was recently reported that Hartshorn and Coach Barry had a meeting about the play of Hartshorn. Britt's basketball play has been much better in the last few weeks. My perception is that Barry plays the players that bring the most to the floor at the current moment. Right now Hartshorn is playing better than Bjorklund.

Thanks for the reply Roger - and welcome aboard HoopScoop!

Hartshorn is stronger defensively that Bjorklund, but Bjorklund is such a good strong scorer...right now the benefits of Hartshorn outweigh the benefits of Bjorklund. Especially since TB has been known to come off the bench for 15 minutes and score 20 points.

I basically agree with Rogers assessment. Ceal plays who ever is producing at the moment. TB isn't the only one to lose playing time as a result of being out produced - Jenny Roulier has lost minutes to sophomore Kate Fagan, Eisha Bohman to Linda Lappe and Randie Wirt to Sabrina Scott.

CU is developing some good depth.

In the ong run I believe that TB will be one of the best post players in CU history. She really has all the tools.

One more observation, TB seems to be a little bit tentative as of late. This may have hurt her playing time as Hartshorn is playing well at both ends of the court.
