Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 4460345, member: 10942"] We won and that is the only and most important thing. We are not a very good team without NM and I think that is obvious( considering the other losses we have). She goes out when we are up by 11-12 and we barely cling to a victory. Guards who can handle pressure and get you into your offense are like gold. Also, do those that ridiculed AG now see that she [B]does[/B] have the ability to shoot? She was open as she was against ND, but this time she hit her shots. As I stated before, she can hit shots, although she generally takes a split second more time. I am more impressed with AG's performance considering the game she had against ND. This kid has some mental toughness to come back from a '0 for everything game' and then hit every shot the next game. Great for her! double double...we don't win unless she dominates and she did. I said this when AG was a freshman: she has a very nice release on her shot, maybe a bit too much palm but she has a compact stroke that is very consistent that should equate to a higher percentage. She does need a split second extra time...but many players do. Compare that to NM who has a long wind-up stroke that I don't think will ever get better than 35% ish from 3, which is pretty good anyway. AG will be AA if and when she can shoot at a consistent (not great) level from midrange and 3. I think she will get there eventually. I said the same when she was a freshman. Her form and follow through are too good and teams will let her shoot in large part because she is unproven, and they know AG will beat them to the cup. Lou is a really good player. She is no point guard but she can stroke it and create too. AE was a bit disappointing because I was just hoping for more. She just leaves me wanting more....still she was ok. CD continues to look very slow, this shows up on defense and also on offense--then you see it with the fouls as well. She just looks really bad. Hope she works through it but thus far, she is hurting us with every minute she plays. She is a tick slow anyway...like Lou Samuelson but not giving the offense pwer we hope for. ok, I feel the love for Amari and I want to share the love also...She was decent. She just doesnt react fast enough and will have issues against skilled, physical players. She is as soft as charmin tissue. That said, she dove for loose balls and gave a good effort. How does she not have a rebound? Anyway, I am pulling for her. 5 TO and 4 fouls against Princeton...not great... I will just say that Ines had some big time courage to hit FTs at the end. Good on her. But she is not ready to handle quick players, but at least she got some minutes and experience...and she hit her FT!s!! I'm worried about her left hand....looks suspect to me. Yanana- not sure what is going on here, but maybe GA is not happy with her. Her HS stuff: take it to the rim at 1 foot and lay it in, is not going to work (all the time) at her size. She needs to showcase a midrange and GA should get her a play or two to get this done. Then she can use her quickness to get to the cup. I'm proud of how tough this team fights. That is a reflection of the coach. [/QUOTE]
