Week 4 - Nov 24-30

Yeah, Tennessee is right behind Duke as far as I'm concerned. A lot of noise in the off season/pre season, not impressed with either so far. And I still am not slightly convinced that this isn't more of the same. There will never be another Pat, and the difference between Warlick, Harper and Caldwell is hard for me to discern.
 
Oof, another horribly lopsided game. Illinois over LeMoyne 100-28. Illini scored 36 in Q1. They literally could've held the ball every possession and not scored for the rest of the game...and still won. By quarter LeMoyne scored 6, 9, 4 and 9.
 
.-.
I think Coach Caldwell has to go back to the drawing board. Her ‘defense’ isn’t working well and she doesn’t have an offense.
Seriously. The wildest stats from the box score is that UCLA had more than twice the steals (13 to 5) and Tennessee had almost twice the turnovers (20 to 12). If your signature defensive strategy is to press and cause chaos you should not be on the losing end of the steals and turnovers battle. Yikes!
 
Dugalic as one of the main press breakers was interesting. She’s got good handles. Betts was okay this game and she’s had many dominant games in her career at UCLA. But I can’t help thinking the team is better when Dugalic subs in for her.

Also, Leger-Walker looked really good, a pure PG, more so than Rice. And it’s not like Rice had a bad game either. I can’t help picturing a starting 5 of Dugalic Rice Leger-Walker Jaquez and Kneepkens, with Betts as 6th woman.
