However, seeing someone being taken out because they are having a tough game and, by the way, being put back in, is not being in the dog house. Caroline was not lacking in effort. That would put her in the dog house. What I found most troubling was Liv several times bringing the ball down to her waist and getting it slapped away several times. A bad habit I thought she was getting past. Most programs would love to be struggling the way ours is. This group has had to make frequent rotation adjustments, not the least of which is playing without the best organizing point guard in the college game. It also affects both sides of the ball. If Paige comes back and is fully in sync we get a lot better on O. She is also pretty good at disrupting passing lanes. I think what stops this team even if fully healthy from winning out is no real defensive and rebounding strength in the middle. Blocking an occasional shot isn’t good enough against the top teams, certainly not most of those at the top this year. [/QUOTE]
