I hope we figure it out before Friday or it'll be painful...  :(

Figure what out?  Our offense? It's already been painful.

My expectations for the rest of this year is maybe a Sweet 16 appearance if we are lucky.  I could see us lose in the 1st round if we play a team that catches fire and our offense continues to be inept.

I am just hoping that Tara will use the offseason to find a way to add 15-20 points to our offense and make it more dynamic for next year.  No wonder Tara didn't want to play UConn this year.  We would struggle to break 30 against them.  We can't use the excuse that we are "young" next year with Erica, Karlie, Bri, and Kailee being seniors.  Maybe Carrington, Wilson and/or Fingall can make an instant impact.

I should have said "it would be MORE painful" playing AT Cal. If we play like today, no way we get a W.
Yes, figure out the offense. Didn't it seem to you like they hesitated when they caught a pass with a good look, with said hesitation negating the good look so that they ended up passing the ball? Or the "shooter" (in relative terms) with the clean look not taking it and passing it to a less-strong shooter who doesn't get the shot off? Careless and/or ill-advised passes chosen instead of shooting the ball? I understand that poor shooting can be contagious and lead to a lack of confidence, but poor decision-making should be fixable, or so I'd like to believe. An ugly W is better than an ugly L, so I am not unhappy with the outcome.
