As she sat down for a postgame press conference on Sunday afternoon, Colorado\u2019s Logyn Greer joked with head coach JR Payne.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve been here,\u201d the freshman said.<\/p>\n

Greer is one of the most talented freshmen in Big 12 women\u2019s basketball and one of the best freshmen CU has had in several years. Yet, like a lot of rookies, she\u2019s gone through some growing pains.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, however, Greer had arguably her best game of the season. She finished with 17 points and five rebounds in the Buffs\u2019 80-79 upset of No. 14 TCU at the CU Events Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d say just playing with confidence, trusting my shot,\u201d she said. \u201cI was a bit cold lately, so for this game, just trusting my shot, trusting my confidence. Just trusting my work, and it showed up today.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the season, Greer is fourth on the team with 9.7 points per game and she ranks third with 4.9 rebounds per game, while hitting shots at an impressive .473 clip.<\/p>\n
In nonconference play, Greer averaged 11.6 points and 6.0 rebounds, scoring in double figures in seven of those 12 games.<\/p>\n
Once Big 12 play hit, however, Greer struggled a bit. Through the first 10 conference games, she averaged just 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds. Twice, she finished with no points.<\/p>\n
This past week, however, in a loss to No. 20 West Virginia and the win against TCU, Greer stepped up. She had 11 points against West Virginia and hit 10 of her 16 shots (.625) for the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just need more of this. We need this like every day,\u201d Payne said with a laugh as she looked at Greer. \u201cI\u2019m always talking to Logyn about \u2018be more aggressive, be more aggressive.\u2019 She has the skill set. I don\u2019t know that anybody on our roster has the varied skill set that Logyn has. She\u2019s probably the only one that can do all of the different things that she does. And so there\u2019s times that we need Logyn to be more aggressive because her being aggressive makes all of us better.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was certainly the case against TCU, as Greer asserted herself often against the team leading the conference standings coming into the day. She scored five points in the opening quarter and added 10 in the third quarter, including a 3-pointer and a more traditional three-point play.<\/p>\n
Greer went 6-for-9 from floor, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range, and 3-for-3 at the free throw line against the Horned Frogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a young player in a big game like this to have a line, like, that shows Logyn and shows everybody what she is capable of doing,\u201d Payne said. \u201cShe\u2019s capable. I mean, I was running stuff for her down the stretch of the game because that\u2019s how much we believe in her. So, it was pretty cool to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
A regular starter through CU\u2019s first 18 games, Greer has come off the bench in the last six games. She struggled at Kansas on Feb. 1, fouling out after not scoring. But, in the other five games off the bench, she has averaged 11.4 points and flirted with a double-double in a win against Oklahoma State (nine points, nine rebounds).<\/p>\n
Greer is on pace for the best scoring average for a CU freshman since Frida Formann\u2019s 12.4 points per game during the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n
Notable<\/p>\n
CU senior Jade Masogayo was honored by the Big 12 on Monday, selected as part of the \u201cStarting Five,\u201d which rewards top players in the league from the previous week. Masogayo had a season-high 23 points on Sunday and averaged 18.0 points and 4.0 rebounds for the week, while hitting 18-of-19 free throws (.947). \u2026 A week ago, CU earned its first weekly honor of the season when Zyanna Walker was named to the Starting Five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As she sat down for a postgame press conference on Sunday afternoon, Colorado\u2019s Logyn Greer joked with head…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[51965,51966,60288,2692,416,64539,943,944,116,118,117,16309,3607,251,223,154],"class_list":["post-158338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-boulder","tag-boulder-county","tag-buffzone","tag-college-basketball","tag-college-sports","tag-college-womens-basketball","tag-colorado","tag-colorado-news","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-front-range","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
