Our scoring drop off from this year to last year isn't as bad as I thought. Last year top 3 scorers averaged 39 pts total per game in league scoring for season. To this point this year top 3 scorers average 39 pts total per game.
Last year team averaged 71 pts per game in conference and gave up 57
This year averages are 68 and 56

last year McCall, Samuelson, and Mcphee were at 13.8, 11.5, and 13.4 respectively
this year McPhee 16.8,  Smith 12.2, Williams 10.8 (before Colorado game)

Thanks for the reminder and the comparison, mbdude.  Yes, our rose colored glasses can make us forget about the challenges last year.  Bird's senior year was a little bit down from her junior year.  There were games when Karlie couldn't get a shot off, and this board was filled with posts bemoaning that fact.  McPhee was good but not as good as she is this year and she was even streakier.  Smith didn't catch on offensively until toward the end.  It took Tara most of the year to get our offense firing consistently last season. 

And here she is working on it again.
