Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3317414, member: 9841"] It was difficult to take away too much from the game as there was a lot of mix and matching going on. I’m sure the lineup will tighten as the season progresses. The Bad: Neither J Danberry or M Taylor even attempted a 3 pointer as neither has much range outside of 15 feet. That is going to cause big issues as teams will simply pack the lane. J Danberry got posted up too much. Her best season was two years ago when she could come off the bench for a defensive spark on the opposing point. Bigger guards are going to hurt her in the lane. MSU shot 50% from the free throw line. The transition defense needs a lot of work. MSU is not starting well out of the gate. Despite 27 from J Carter, post play still has a long way to go. The Good: M Taylor had 8 assists and 0 TOs. C Bibby has not only healed but looked better than last year. P Taylor played (although she has a long way to go). C Bibby, R Jackson, and X Wiggins playing together will give other teams fits with their length and ability to guard multiple positions. Overall I was happy the returning players stepped up. I was concerned that if the freshmen as a group were the better option it was going to cause some issues. [/QUOTE]
