The ND game was the 1st time I could watch them on a normal TV with real camera work. Thanks to Judzee and Clinton for their comments and observations. I really think this team is going to come around earlier than expected. Davis is shooting better and as they run the offense more she doesn't have to check to see if players are doing what they need to do. That was causing her to telegraph passes (as games wore on that happened less). Doyle has that poise and maturity we saw in Ally as a Freshmen and she's a good shooter which should improve as the year goes on. Megan is improving each game. In the JMU game she was getting down in her stance and using her elbows to keep the defender from sliding to her side. That didn't work as much in ND game because her defender was bigger and stronger and pushed her out (especially K. Nelson). Megan is learning and has a chance to be the best Post player in the conference. Ally is showing better work on the boards. She's blocking out more rather than just screening players. Makenzie and Bre have really settled down and their offense will come with time. Hannah has made major strides. She has good hands and improving footwork and runs the court very well. The only cautionary note is Chase Coley. She seems to be more timid than last year and we need her inside play. When and if Carly returns she may help. By BigTen tourney time we could be really tough. We are really deep and seems like we are made for a deep run. Hope that's enough to get us an NCAA invite.
