Well we havent played 20 games yet and you can see the improvement. Last nite after a few days off, some rest and some practice, I liked alot of what I saw. Edwards another double digit point nite. She looked comfortable out there and played with confidence. Shes very athletic and is becoming a star. Liv making outside shots forced the defense to come out and guard her and that opened the middle up allowing us to penetrate. A big plus for Christyn as well as allowing everybody else Next we need Evina and Nika to start scoring. I expect to plays run to get both of them going.
Looking back at some of the games it almost appeared like in the big games against ranked teams, plays were set up for Paige as we were in a bit of a minnie slump shooting. Paige delivered. Then in the past few games it seemed like Paige became more of a facilitator and it was time to get Christyn goin. Last nite in her interview she was so happy to receive a compliment from Geno and that compliment may have just given her her confidence back.
So on Saturday Im hoping to see plays run to get Evina and Nika going.
The defense has come along way. We as individuals and as a team have come along way. We still have a long way to go but right now we are playing like the number 1 team in the country. Now we must continue to move forward and not get caught in our comfort zone. I feel that alot of what has happened over the past 10 games was getting individuals ready for March. Playing them and working them into Genos system so it flowed. Paith looked much improved last nite too and Saylor made a couple of really good plays. At 6'2 with the way she handles the ball shes special. She doesnt look lost out there and she seems to know where to be. Hey shes not afraid to shoot either and when her shot starts falling...well thats all we need.
We are beginning to look and play like a team with confidence. We've got all the pieces and those pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. Were coming together at the right time. With so many underclassman we have plenty of room for improvement and by the time we get through the BE tourney we're gonna be tournament tuff and tuff out...a very tuff out. The one thing that we've got that no other team has is a go to player, maybe the greatest guard to ever play the game that makes things happen. Thats why I feel barring injuries and foul trouble we will win the National Championship and after this year there will be no more questions about who is the best team in WCBB because we will be unbeatable by any other team, other then ourselves.
