Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3020494, member: 3630"] After watching the replay it seems to me that the game was played even until the 2nd half when Durr made a bunch of 3s. Samuel did not make a basket in the 4th until things were over. Clearly, LV played better as a team. At this juncture, the loss isn't that important- regardless of seeding, the team will have to beat some good teams (early and late) to reach their goal. So we are seeing with them problems to over come.We are not the only team in this situation-- see ND. I don't know how much better LV can be, nor Baylor, etc. Having said this, there are issues I have: 1) the flow-- too many are either not accustom to move and cut, or they are uncertain about what is to be done so there are delays and a lack of quick decision-making; 2) Rebounding. One gets the impression that rebounding is Pheesa's job, so the others sometimes stand-around. Or, so much energy is use in rebounding that there is little for offense; 3) MW must use her full set of skills the entire game. She seems to play for 10mins then disappear then appear, etc. I'm of 2 minds: Is she really cognizant of the schema, or is she just not a quick person. When she is mixing it up inside and outside its like night and day; 4) CW-- is feeling the pressure and we need her, but she cannot be willed out of her hole right now. ONO needs time and muscles-- good, but young. They will help before late. 5) I know what have been said about Coomb's shooting, etc., but I like her and her potential. I think she will be able to come in and free Crystal from pg duties-- moving her to sg for a spell. 6) Lastly, the seniors. I'm not sure what more we can ask of Pheesa-- she has enough on her shoulders. Her minutes and responsibilities are almost too much. KLS is an issue for me. Is it the senior blues? Is she burnt-out? is she hurt? Is her draft status playing tricks on her? Clearly her overall shooting is off and she is not as dependable compare to the past. Going almost an entire quarter without taking a shot would be critical for any team. Obviously she is doing a lot of other things to keep us in the game, but I have worriesome questions. All these questions and I am still optimistic about our playing and chances for further improvements. Afterall, most sensible people (some on this board- no less) predicted a few losses- we are having them, without being blown-out. [/QUOTE]
