Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4261589, member: 11538"] Solid overall game. Going forward though I don't think it's enough. Azzi is playing 35 minutes or more every game. Would she maybe shoot a little better if it were 30 minutes instead? Would giving Caroline even 5 minutes of her time really hurt the team? Same with Paige or Christyn. Just slice 2-3 minutes off their PT and keep everyone fresher. We still trend downward a little in the 4th because Geno is inherently risk averse. A natural born conservative. He sends his horses out there until they are dog tired and then he wonders why they miss that 3 pointer at the end of the game. We have a stable of horses. We really should use them. We are getting by so far and we may be able to beat NC State with this approach as well but the deep teams like Stanford and South Carolina are a bridge too far if we don't use our depth. They will push us off the floor in the 4th if we aren't fresh. All year long it was clear that we were mainly a guard based offense. We finally are hitting the offensive boards knowing they are going to put it up. South Carolina has been doing that all year. Why did it take so long to "get it"? We absolutely need to shoot the 3 well and score well to beat SC and Stanford. And we need to at least hold our own on the boards. [/QUOTE]
