In the wins in Oregon, McPhee came around the screen and hit quite a number of jumpers from the elbow area.  That was entirely missing yesterday.  Williams hit one and I thought we might keep it up, but we didn't.  Seems to me that with C.al packing it in to prevent McPhee drives and Smith layups, that shot was open.  It would have been the mirror image of what they were doing offensively against us.

If I was the opposing team and especially a long established conference foe who plays against Tara 2 to 3 times every season, I would know that Stanford does not like hitting midrange jumpers. Perhaps that was why Oregon was so flummoxed by Brit's onslaught in the fourth quarter; it would have come as a total surprise for them

Over the last ten seasons, you can probably name the Stanford players who shoots a midrange jumper on one hand on a consistent basis night-in, night-out -- Kiana, Amber, Lili, occasionally Brit, Kokenis, who else?

Our other players have been long range shooters such as Karlie, Bri, Bonnie and Pohlen, post players like the Ogwumikes, Ruef and Appel or drivers/slashers to the basket (Marta, Brit, DiJonai).

I think since we really don't have a consistently reliable post player, we are so reliant on our shooting and our streakiness could be somewhat mitigated by attempting shorter range shots and then gaining confidence and slowly regaining our long-range accuracy.
