Even though Joni lives and die by man to man defense, some teams are faster than us in certain matchups. Jena could not stick with their post. Joni needs to study the Syracuse zone because sometimes we will have to change to a zone like she did in the LSU game.
Freshmen get a pass but sophomores etc do not. The freshmen have not caught up to the speed of the game or the pressure. They will be find over time.
Some of those turnovers were like hot potatoes for the players. Chloe and Que should know better. I am not sure how they game prep but they did not prep for Kentucky defense. Everyone knew the press was coming. In Que defense, we have her doing too much.
We need to hire a shooting guru. When Coombs, Chloe and Issac is on the floor, team wont guard them on the perimeter because they do not shoot or do not shoot well. There is no reason why they should not have a mid range game.
Zoe needs to play more. She can be a matchup nightmare for the smaller guards in this league. I truly sometimes do not understand Joni rotation. I realize most times she goes by feel of how the players are playing, but the best way to get confidence is to let it fly. As this older guy told me once on the court, Jerry West said, shoot until you get HOT!.
