Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5197975, member: 12088"] Some weaknesses were exposed to day, especially in the front court and the perimeter shotmakers. Although overall team speed and athleticism is great, Te-Hina and Chloe are not up to the standard of the rest of the team in either category, and especially on defense. But there are still significant strengths on this team and I consider SC one of the main contenders for the NC. It seemed to me like the team peaked too early, maybe in the Oklahoma game, and hasn't sustained the same level of intensity since. But there's still time to recapture it. I doubt it will be easy for Texas, UCLA or UConn to beat them twice. I'd guess ND is the main threat to another SC championship. Also, when I consider what the team might look like next season, I think SC may be even stronger than this year, even without one of Dawn's typical recruiting classes. Especially if Milaysia can learn to focus all her immense talents on running the team as the main PG. I assume Raven, Bree, Te-Hina, Sania and Sakima will have moved on, and I see a starting lineup of Milaysia (PG), Tessa (SG), Chloe (SF), Ashyn (F) and Joyce (F), with Maryam and Adhel available off the bench for the front court and Maddy in the backcourt. This looks like a dynamite rotation to me even if Dawn doesn't add any transfers. [/QUOTE]
