Man if WBB just had another consistent outside threat...

[thekimmer]

It is frustrating to watch teams, like USC, play that super saggy zone and just completely ignore everybody but AEH on the perimeter. Anriel can provide that threat some nights but she had one of those games where she could barely draw iron outside the lane. I wouldn't be upset if danberry or holmes tried a 3 at least once or twice a game. If they make one it might bring that that zone out a bit.

No complaints as we are doing pretty good as we are just wishful thinking.

Well, we had one until she tore her ACL.

Jazz Holmes attempted a three yesterday....I think you see why she don't do it more often. It frustrates me when Jazz or Danberry drive in and have wide open AEH wide open for 3 and they have their mind set on shooting and miss it.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

We still have one. Unfortunately, she and AEH play the same position, the 3. Briamber can shoot the 3. She has not learned the knack of losing her defender in the scrum to get open on the wing like Little Schaefer could last year.

The defense still wouldn't come out to guard them. They would just let them fire away and miss. Hell, Danberry tried a 3 during the TN game, and the ball never touched the net. It sailed straight through the air as McCowan caught it before it could hit the ground. Danberry can probably beat anyone off the bounce and has freaky speed, but she doesn't need to be shooting 3s.

The fact is that we have the personnel we have, and Vic has done his best with them. This team was never going to be a finesse shooting team. The two times we lost were not because of our 3 point shooting. It's not usually pretty, but we somehow manufacture a lot of points. I'd rather rely on layups and rebounding anyway.

well Scott has the best percentages across the board...she is consistent when she plays ...

I do wonder if AEH would be a factor had Bibby stayed healthy. I think she is a factor bc we were forced to play her

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I still think two years from now will be our most talented team ever...

 

[8dog]

Has a chance to be really special is Promise and Rickea are as advertised

Along the same lines I don't understand why Danberry, who has a very nice mid-range shot, has such a struggle at the free throw line?

They should at least take one or two threes per game. Even if they miss, it makes the defender come towards them, which will open up their path the basket. Give the defense something else to guard against.
