Taissa has surprised me a bit too in person. I didnt expect her to be that built.

Agree. She has been solid against the two inferior opponents and per the South Carolina official site box score she was also solid (9 pts, 8 rebs, 1 blk) in that exhibition game.
We have a few things we need to fix before Ucla.
Shoot better from 3.
Value the ball and take less risks with it after rebounds.
Show Nyla Brooks some film of her FT shooting form from HS.
Move our feet better on defense.
I like our talent but we can execute lots better IMO.

Definitely lots to work on, but also lots to work with.
Certainly not a game we will put in the time capsule for future generations of Heels.
Our next opponent is not likely to be forgiving of some of the play we saw tonight.
Feel terrible for Jayda Angel, a pre-season All-CAA 1st Team selection. I pray I am wrong, but that injury has all the earmarks of an ACL tear.

The offense was clearly awful. But I thought the defense was really encouraging. This team can switch and the help defense was usually on time. Forced 27 turnovers and really solid rebounding with no Thomas and limited Harris.
elon was really scrappy and well coached. I know they may have just lost their best player but they looked like a conference contender.

I think it is clear that right now-- we just are not good enough to have Nyla Harris or Ciera Toomey get in foul trouble. I think that changes as we progress through the year-- but to me that is a major concern for next week with Betts.
On the other hand, you held a team to below 40 and won by 35 despite shooting 4-26 from 3....
I think Indya has looked really, really good and more comfortable in the exhibition game and the first 2 regular season games. We're slowing down and finishing more. 3-point shooting is going to be what it is. But I will happily take a 6-13 night from her every night paired with 7 rebounds and 6 steals.
Tailyah is a much tougher and more gritty than I expected.
10 people played 8 or more minutes. We are still experimenting, etc.
Also, with or without the injured player- I think Charlotte has built a team to compete in the CAA. The most athletic team she has had in years.
