Message: [QUOTE="triaddukefan, post: 4482382, member: 378"] Totally different team. Last year's team was weak defensively, Lawson admits that. Her exact quote was [B]"We were a poor defensive team a year ago. That's my fault."[/B] It was a point of emphasis in the offseason to improve on that front. This year's team has legitimate depth, and our biggest weakness last year (post play) has improved with the new additions. My biggest concern after the preseason was 3pt shooting and FT's. The 3pt shooting has improved the past few games, but its still an issue. Our FT shooting is GREATLY improved. The team shot 66.2% last year... so far its at 76.5%. Our PG shot 68% last year, this year she is at 79.3. Taylor and Balogun are both shooting the FT's alot better.. our C is shooting at 80.0% from the line. There is really only one poor FT shooter on the team.. unfortunately its PG Oliver at 33.3% currently. I think we make the NCAA's.. barring a slew of injuries. The remaining schedule (along with the others in our pod) is absolutely brutal. Louisville on Sunday.... Home and homes with VPI and Big Carolina, at ND, at FSU, a rematch with State in Durham, at UVA, at Ga Tech, home vs Miami. A 12-6 record might get you a double bye in the ACC tournament. [/QUOTE]
