Call me dumb but if Brink triple manned and Jump blanketed by another player that means 3 on 1. If we cannot score w that we don’t deserve a ranking. We will solve.
WBB: USC 55 Stanford 46

Our offense was better in the second quarter, scoring 15, but after a 4-pt first quarter, it wouldn't take much to have an improvement.
Brink is our leading scorer at 7 points, but she is ice cold from the field (2/10) and as a team, we are shooting under 30%. We've cleaned up the turnovers, limiting ourselves to just one after coughing it up six times in the first 10 mins. of the game.
We were doing pretty well defensively until USC scored 5 quick points including a buzzer beater to expand the lead at half, but giving up 24 points in a half is not a hemorrhaging defense.
Win or lose this game, opposing coaches have found an Achilles' heel to our offense and Tara will need to spend the week finding countermeasures or else we could be going through this every game.

And when your defense is everyone but Jump's defender get in the paint, it is almost impossible to get an offensive rebound because it's a 4 on 1 battle. So the defense negates our strength.

Every team we play is using the same defensive scheme that Charmin Smith cooked up for us and we simply have to find a way of defeating it. They double or triple Brink, keep Jones from coming into the pain, blanket Jump and sag off everyone else. We simple must hit jump shots consistently. Demetre finally hit a couple but we need consistency and a lot more.
Sometimes a typo is more than a typo.

We look exhausted. We can't rebound. Our defense is slow. Most of our shots are short. We are standing around.
We can't play against USC's seven transfers. Can the second half be worse?

Four players have scored. Five if you count Jump’s free throw.

Have you forgotten the Arizona game a couple of weeks ago when Brink was 3/15 and took 6 3-pointers and made none of them. That is the game plan to defend Stanford. Make Brink shoot a lot of 3's.

We're averaging 11 points a quarter and we're down by 10 at the start of the 4th. Anyone believe in miracles?
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
That Steph Curry level 3 really hurt.

Does anybody still believe Jones plays defense? How many 3s does she give up because she's playing just too much off?
01-15-2023, 04:27 PM
It's unfortunate, but games like this happen and we've had a few here and there over the years. Just hope if this goes the way it's looking, we regroup and use this as a wake-up call. Can't afford to be on the same side as South Carolina in the bracket.
