Halftime

The game did not really turn around until we started hitting our three point shots.  When Lili made the first two she took, that separated us.  Then Bonnie made 2/3.  We would be behind without all those three point shots, which we are shooting at 67%.

On the inside we have had a couple of scores off the roll part of the pick and roll--in both cases by a big taking a short jumper.  That is encouraging.

We are tied for rebounds, which given our height advantage is a bit troubling.  Once or twice I saw Bonnie boxing out perfectly--but clearly not everyone has the knack tonight. 

We are shooting 59%, Hawaii 34%.  Is it just that the Hawaii defense is so much worse than the NC defense that we went from 20% in last night's first half to 59% tonight?  I think there is more to it than that, but exactly what I am not sure.

I am pleased at how Erica McCall is playing.  7 points on 3/4 and 8 rebounds.  It must be a good match-up for her tonight. 

Greenfield is still cold as ice as a shooter.  1/5 so far, 0/1 from three.  A couple of those were almost unfair, rattling around in the cylinder and coming back out.

On two point shots by our bigs we are 7/11.  That is a vast improvement over last night.  Again, I hope a lot of that is what we are doing and not simply the weaker defense.
