Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4148263, member: 11538"] Until we start making 3 pointers other teams are just going to keep packing the middle. We will not have the same rebounding advantage, shooting efficiency and we will be open to fast breaks on the way back. It's a huge problem. If we miss our 3 pointers it is nothing but trouble. Long rebounds which start the run game for the opposing team. We have a great inside game so why wouldn't they pack it in Paige's absence? It's not bad passing as much as very little opportunity. It's both, of course, but bad passes happen when the opportunities are not there. We also have very few players who can create their own shot. It's basically Caroline and Paige. Azzi is certainly capable of it. She has a great pull up jumper. I'm looking forward to seeing it. She should watch Harmon of Texas. It's one pull up jumper after another. [MEDIA=youtube]t9F6tbf9y2U[/MEDIA] Packing it in is a formula for winning against Uconn currently. Fortunately Azzi should help in that regard but we need others as well and we probably will see improvement. It seems that most teams start the season a little slow on 3 point shooting and by now they are more consistent. I also don't see many pull up jumpers. Both Paige and Azzi can be great at that but it is not an important part of anyone else's game on this team. That would help open the middle as well. We are going to keep struggling until we can make our 3 point shots consistently. [/QUOTE]
