Even with Ty Harris unavailable, Jefferson is not starting. At least she will have Lou to converse with on the sideline. Head bangHead bang
 
Allisha Gray in starting lineup. MoJeff off the bench. Slow starts and desire to have a PG available off the bench w/ Tyasha Harris’ unavailability the given reasons. Wonder how temporary this is. Took Harris 12 games to move in starting PG role her freshman year at South Carolina.
 
Lou missed a runaway layup and then played soft defense on next play. Head bang Head bang
 
Carter vs Ogunbowale

I thought they were both going to go off on each other.
Turns out they’re both still laying in bed hitting the snooze button.:(

But Carter hit a moonball 3 and Arike with an end of 1Q complex full court drive.
 
Dallas simply can’t pass. In fact, it is pathetic. Part of it is with Arike on the floor you know she is going to take as many bad shots as good ones. Well, almost as many. As for KLS, she would be open for a good passing team and she has played a decent overall game, including the quick decision passes she was known for at UConn. Has she given up the occasional basket. Sure, but so has everyone else. And why is Sabally starting? She can’t hit the broadside of a barn and has a tendency to get her pocket picked.
 
Is the box score correct? Shows Jefferson w/ 10 rebounds! To go along w/ 8 points and 3 assists. Maybe a move to the bench did her good.
 
Arike pretty clearly won Round 1 against Chennedy. Dallas won, Arike scored more, shot better and had more assists.

edit--and less turnovers

She played significiantly better but still some forced stuff. I think she rebounded alot but 10 sounds pretty hard to believe? For what it was worth, some good positional defensive plays by KLS at the end to close the game out

Chennedy was holding her back after 1Q so I wonder if it was affecting her. Arike was definitely spectacular in the 2nd half when she started to go to the basket more and not settle for 3pt shots.

This didn't age well. Arike finishes with 24 points, 6 assists, 0 turnovers on 50% shooting. Not bad for a player who takes a lot of bad shots and a team that can't pass.

Cant pass or wont pass? Team played better today. Still a long way off from playing as a "team". Average team low in 14.3 apg. Chicago and Phoenix are on top in assists.

Dokey said cant pass. Agree they aren't a strong passing team but they looked good today. Jefferson looked comfortable out there too.
