Jones has never been a good 3 point shooter but she's currently shooting the worst in her 4 years. 3/28 on the season = 10%
We need perimeter threats to space the floor and open up the inside. I say try more Demetre, Bosgana, Nivar, and less Haley Jones at the guard spot. Jones looked very out of sorts running the point in the 4th quarter. I'd rather have Lepolo or one of the other guards bring the ball up, not Jones.
We need to play faster and in transition more (we had zero fast break points today). We need to screen, cut, and move better. Everyone stands around and waits for someone else to make a play. There is no crisp movement, cutting, passing that we're used to.
I'm glad the season is not lost but it also feels like we've known these issues for quite some time and clearly haven't solved them. The fact that Tara is still tinkering a lot with lineups and who to bring in when is problematic. Those things should be clear at this point in the season yet they are not. I see more loses looming unless we can correct things quickly.
I think our senior leaders need to step up. You see games where upperclassmen literally will their team to victory by any means necessary. Our experienced core needs to be better all around - it starts with our senior leaders.
