LOL. They're playing us. Saturday. How convenient.
As a primary ball handler, Rice had found comfort dictating the Bruins’ sets, getting Betts and her teammates going before looking to score herself. In the past two games, she’s had to learn how to balance facilitating and being a scorer without unnecessarily forcing the action.
To do so, it requires a transition in her mindset regarding the game plan.
For example, when the Bruins run screen-and-rolls, instead of immediately passing it to the post player because she’s defended by a smaller player, Rice will look to take advantage of a slower defender who has to step out and guard her.
