That is EXACTLY the problem!  Last year we had Azzi, Caroline and Paige and still couldn't get off a clean shot.  The reason you seek is FOULING!  It is hard to get open when being grabbed and pushed into other players.  It is hard to drive when being grabbed and pushed.  It is hard to rebound when being grabbed and pushed.

The refs called a decent number of fouls against SC today.  That is why the game was close.  They were able to get SOME shots off.  But the refs could have called even more and should have called more.  A foul is a foul.

The one thing I have seen this year is a willingness and ability to take and hit a mid-range shot.  Those are critical to beating SC because we won't be able to score inside and they will hack us on the perimeter and keep our shooters from getting open.  Caroline and Azzi would give us depth so players can play less and move more when they are on the floor.  That would help them get open more.  BUT, when we lost Paige, we lost our most important piece because she can create and score in the mid-range better than anyone.  Dorka, Alliyah and Aubrey need to keep shooting those mid-range shots that have improved on so much.  That is the SC antidote and we have improved that a lot since last year.
