On Talana, "They wanted to sag off of Talana and double down on Cam and Kiki, and she hit a three, and another three--she wouldn't have that. That is a real key for us going forward, that she looks to be aggressive offensively." So Tara agrees with everyone on this board, but has confidence that Lepolo is gaining confidence.
Tara confirmed that Harriel and Ogden should be back for the Cal game.
I've thought that Lepolo, while good at bringing the ball up the court, and maybe good enough on defense, had become a major liability once into our half court offense. Because her shooting was so bad that it had become common knowledge for defenses to sag off of her. Making it much harder on both our bigs and our perimeter shooting threats (eg. Jump)
I've been eager to see her or someone else become both a PG and a shooting threat.
At times I thought Harriel or Clardy might be up for it.
But noone has stepped up consistently.
I really think this is a key limit or factor on how far this team can go this season.
That is, can our PG position also demand to be guarded?
