Interesting observations. I'm in general agreement especially with the Ice comments against larger more seasoned opponents. She is needed to set picks for our smaller shooters and clear out an attack channel for penetration by our guards. Ice is the key for Edwards to play away from the hoop, and like yesterday, pick off some passes between the key and half court. Ice needs to play bigger by extending her arms and stance to provide a stronger passing target for picks when clearing out. The potential is there and needs to be coached. When Ice can tally 8-10 points a game we are a different team. That opens up many options for other players.I have access to watch these teams across the country and I think we can beat a lot of them. From what I’ve seen, we get everyone’s A+ game because some of the teams we’ve lost to do not look like the same team when I’ve watched them in other games. Also in the tourney they will knock each other out, that’s what I’m seeing this year, so because of that we can have help getting back to the final four this year. Besides South Carolina the rankings haven’t meant much. Hate to put it on one player but our final four hopes rests Ice. She is going to be really good for us but we need her to be a presence down low now for us to move deep into the tourney. Even if it’s just rebounding. I noticed during DePaul Geno was playing her at times with the starters with KK out. That’s the lineup we will need against the really good teams to be successful and he knows it. If Ice steps up then I think it puts us in the final four at the very least.
