The reality here is Scalia, Micheaux and Sissoko are back who will play significant minutes. Its a good core, but they desperately need another player like Deja and a 5 like Helgren. We need somebody or two who can score from the portal like Deja did this year. Plus we lose Hubbard and even...
The good:
Energy, resilient, never stopped fighting.
Deja and Sara kept it close.
What didn't go so well:
-I dont think we were patient every 3 or 4 possessions.
-Smith should never take a jump shot without even making a pass to start the O. Smith dosen't see the floor real well
- I'm still...
Lets see what happens...It seems crazy to think we just lost to IA by 56, but with a few injuries, Clark shooting 40 times a game, maybe, just maybe this game could be interesting.
She just seems confused out there. that little pump fake, elbow jumper never goes in..
I can just hear the conversation "but coach I'm open", "do you think there is a reason why your open?"
If we got half of her talent potential, like 15 & 8 every night we would be as good as some of these...
agree 100%.. put the guards on hold, we need a dynamic 3, 4s and 5s otherwise we are right back here next year, we lose Deja who has had some great moments.. We lose Diva, who is solid but not the player she was.. and who knows who transfers out
Unfortunately, CoachJD might be right..
I can't say it was a bad hire at the time, can hardly fault the AD for the selection.
I liked the defensive intensity against Purdue, but we lost badly to a team that fired their coach, players left and the new coach got transfers in to replace the good...
Some people say the guards do to much of this and that, but the reality is we are very limited at the 4 and 5.. Rose is a freshman and is hitting a wall at the 5. I don't think any team honors Baily in the low post so that isn't an option. Kadi was supposed to lead this team this year from the...
Can anybody explain why we play a 3-2 zone on defense, that means bailey or Kayla or Laura or Rose has to defend the corner 3, and if they do they aren't available to rebound, it's just another bizarre coaching call that doesn't put our players in a position to have success
Did we make any adjustments or at least try a different look?
Why not mix a zone in?
Just try something different?
The sub pattern was unique, deja came out 2 min into the game.
Not sure if Powell was in doghouse, i didn't see anything out of the ordinary with her
Strange post... your making a case for 5 players in which 4 don't play and the other is a 5th year senior role player.. I'm pretty sure no one on this team is saying "I'm not going to pass it to her". Volume of shots compared to the team isn't really an argument, Caitlyn Clark shot 22 times...
Rose only played 20 min and is a freshman. Baily is in for her Defense. Thats it for posts. I believe we would use Rose more, she just isn't experienced enough right now to rely on consistently, she needs to learn how to kick it out too when it isn't there, that will come. If you want to...
we made no adjustments in this game, straight man and we got burned all night by their PG because we just couldn't keep their PG in front.
I'm trying to figure out what is wrong, we had more talent then Ohio St. the only thing I can come up with is we want to always settle into a half court...
Lets be real, a game you have to win if you want to move in the top 5 in the conf and a NCAA bid. We are actually more well rounded then Ohio St., but this team needs to figure out how to get more out of their talent/potential
