Can someone please explain to me the thinking behind putting Jerome in for the inbounds play and then throwing the inbounds pass to her? I like Jerome's play, but her free throw shooting percentage, while not horrific, is not particularly good. Why is the play not designed to inbound the ball to our best free throw shooters: Williams, Hull, or Hull? There must be some strategy there that is just not apparent to me. It seems like that play cost us a pretty decent chance of a regulation win. Not that 2/2 is automatic, even for Williams, Hull, or Hull, but what is the thinking?
Color me "Frustrated in OR" that our women have trouble putting away games it looks to me like they should.
Agreed, that inbound play made no sense at all. I think we lost the game because we turned it over 22 times, a season high. Only reason we were in it at the end was we shot almost 50% from 3 point range. That kept us in the game and made it possible for us to still win it until the end. Very, very hard to win a game on the road against a good team when you have 22 turn overs. I also just don't get how the Princeton offense works for this group, particularly with how poor the passing is at this point.
