I have to agree.  After the Mississippi State loss I was expecting a team coming back with a chip on their shoulders ala 2002 when they came back after the 2001 ND loss.  But right now I feel we are winning because of our overwhelming talent not because of great play.

I thought of the reason this could be and I think it's because right now we have 3 separate teams trying to play as one.  We have the 5 players who are used to playing with one another (Gabby, Kia, Napheesa, Lou, and Crystal).  2 talented players trying to mesh with them  (Azura and Megan).  And 5 other players who are getting thrown into this dynamic during the later stages of the 2nd and 3rd quarters of games (Kyla, Molly, Hunter, Coombs, Lexi).   Each group is not on the same page and skill level which leads to disjointed play which leads to some of the shocking stretches we are seeing.  The good news?  Our talent and depth may be so strong it may not matter.  But hopefully the gap between the 3 factions starts to diminish.
