Amazing stat

If you didn't catch the girls today, they hit 10 of their first 11 3 point shots. They cooled off later but ended 14 for 25. They also assisted on 25 of 30 baskets with only 5 TO's. Ball movement was excellent. They are now 21-0 for the season.

In other news, half of their opponents shoot from their stomachs...

Speaking from a basketball perspective and putting aside talent discrepancy issues for a moment, our women's team has a big advantage over most teams - either gender - in that our bigs (Dolson and Stewart) are great passers and perimeter shooters. So we can run our offense from any direction, go to high-low sets, etc. No matter who gets the ball, we have a relief valve who is a good decision maker and a triple-threat (Dolson isn't usually a threat to drive, but she does sneak a drive in here or there). You have to step out there and defend our bigs, and then our guards can run cuts into the open space. Brimah or Nolan could go out to 18 feet and try to initiate offense and it's not going to work (or even DD, since he isn't much of a passer). TO was somewhat decent out of the high post with Drummond, but he doesn't play the 4 any more. The thing about relying on "ball movement" is that you need multiple players who can do things with the ball, or else you're moving it down dead end roads.

That said, our women's offense isn't always a thing of beauty, either. We got bogged down against Baylor and turned into a 1-on-1 team forcing contested shots, so an athletic defensive team can take us out of our offense. Our men run into far more teams capable of doing that than the women do.

A team going 10-11 from three to start a game is "board worthy" in my opinion. There was a thread here on Creighton doing virtually the same thing the other day

The only difference was Creighton did it against Villanova…..men! They could guard them…….

I agree, 10 of 11 in practice is note worthy for anyone……..and that's what it is!
