Message: [QUOTE="GoChips20, post: 4197405, member: 11308"] I agree completely. Elite in those two areas but this offense should look more like Stanford’s or NC State’s given the talent and personnel on the roster. I can’t necessarily explain it - the offense actually looks worse to me this year even though the team as a whole makes a more concerted effort to play through the post (whereas last year they tended to play through Cooke more often than not). Cooke’s shooting percentages have never been what you’d like from your 2-guard but they’re particularly bad this year so perhaps that’s made the offense look worse despite fewer looks for her. The thing I will say for South Carolina (and this is pretty much a paraphrase of your observation) is that while the offense often ends the evening in the 50s or 60s, the Gamecocks very seldom allow their opponents to get past the 30s or 40s when that happens. It feels like SC can keep their opponents 15-20 points away most nights regardless of whether the Gamecocks are scoring 55 or 75. [/QUOTE]
