Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3865338, member: 175"] A 42 percent shooting game is basically just an average game for a typical guard. But it is true her jumper has been off the last two games. She had 3 layups and a 3-pointer after the ankle injury against X. Today she had two layups (one from Nika, one off her own steal), a 3 and two mid ranges. So her jump shot has resulted in something like 4-16 (2-10 from 3, 2-6 from midrange). Paige has perhaps tended to lose focus on her shot when the game gets out of hand. She was 3-3 against Xavier early, we led by 30, and she finished 4-11. Today she started 5-8, but missed her last four with a lead of 25 or so. When she had huge shooting games against Saint Johns and Marquette through 3 quarters, she was quiet in the fourth. We saw how she shot against SC and Arkansas late - and even Seton Hall when she was 4-5 in the fourth when we led by only 6 after 3. So it isn’t a question of tiring. Just maybe she stays locked in when it matters and drifts when it doesn’t - or at least that’s what we hope. We don’t want her to try to flip a switch in the tourney after coasting, and then not have the light go on. So it’s maybe something for her to concentrate on these next 5 games through the BET - stay locked in no matter what. [/QUOTE]
