The TOs and the scoring droughts are an indication that our ladies have lost focus.
In the preseason, CJW used all of the roster and even tried platooning; I thought the combination of defensive pressure and the energy it provided by distributing the minutes was most effective. I believe the one thing this team has is senior athleticism; I would like Jeff to try using the entire roster for 40 minutes and full court press with emphasis on creating TOs and getting fast breaks. The half court offense is not accomplishing much of anything.

I totally agree with you on both suggestions this team has the athletes to run downhill and not set up and pass the ball around until they lose it or take a bad shot and the end of the shot clock. I also agree with you on playing the whole roster and putting a suffocating defense on opponents and wear them down. I used to coach baseball and my best teams were the teams that I got everyone in the game.
Our loss doesn’t look that bad now that ND won the championship.
