I think this team will look good in the non conference schedule. The big question will be how they compete in Big Ten. Garcia will be a star but not sure how the other pieces will do against the upper tier big ten teams.
Unfortunately her shooting percentages have regressed and she has said in numerous articles she worked on that over the summer. Am sure that is frustrating for her.
But watch Gopher pr will highlight that she had 10 assist but no mention of her 9 turnovers.
Ohio State defense and full court press could be another challenge for Battle.
Mara might just be overall physically exhausted she played a lot of international basketball this summer and fall.
I will say it again but I think Battle looks for her shot more this year - yes her assist number are up slightly. Our posts are not athletic enough.
