Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3407311, member: 730"] In the same matchup last season she tried distributing to her team mates in the first half with little success. They are a team loaded with talent but most of it is freshman and sophomore talent. Last year it was even younger and less experienced and most of them had a deer in the headlights look early in the game. This year Bueckers came out shooting and I was impressed with her shot selection in the 1st half. She avoided driving into the taller Johnson/Stewart duo (who were outstanding last night) and shot from an arc about foul line distance along with some 8' pullups. I don't think any of her first 8 shots hit anything but net. She seems to elevate very well for rebounds but for sure she needs to develop more upper body strength. But the thing that most impresses me is the air of confidence she gives off to her team. Her body language is always saying "I got this". I don't know that that can be taught. Whatever was going on between her ears, she always looked like she was in control. Last night in the 2nd half when her shots were misses she didn't flinch and started giving her team mates open chances. That is something that doesn't show up in highlight videos but it's what made me fall in love with her game 2 years ago. [/QUOTE]
