Before the game Tempie noted all the players who can shoot the three, and indicated that they "just needed to gain confidence in their shot."  In other words, they are shooting threes just fine in practice, but doing it in a game is different and success will breed success. 

Williams was one of the players she said could shoot the three, and yes indeed she was 1/3.  The fact that she had 3 assists to just one turnover, playing in a turnover-soaked game, gives me hope that she could develop into a truly effective point guard sooner rather than later.

Dodson is the other frosh who seems to be progressing.  She was 2/3 on her field goals, 1/2 on free throws, grabbed 3 rebounds, a block, and most importantly NO personal fouls in her 17 minutes.  She did have 2 turnovers.  But she is getting a lot of time and she seems to be making progress.

Tempie called Jerome more of a 4/3 and Moshkau more of a guard.  Jerome keeps getting a lot of time but I'm not seeing much offensively out of her.  With Alanna in foul trouble and Fingall injured, Jerome was a logical person to spend time in the rotation. 

Moschkau is the hardest worker on the team, Tempie said, always working on her shot before and after practice, something "that will pay off in the long run."  Well, tell you what.  If Moschkau can hit 40% from beyond the arc, the "long run" could become the short run.

I so much want to see Anna Wilson succeed.  Last year we saw her for a few short games and her three point shot looked awesome.  This would be a good time to bring it back!  She went 0/4 last night and looked to me to be rushing shots.  Riverside was NOT an undersized team, and Wilson looked tiny out there.
