I am looking forward to hearing from everyone about this game.
For me, we started off poorly, gained some momentum in the second quarter and showed life in the second half, but even when we got better, we still had too many lapses. So whenever we had a chance to get the game into the low double digits or even single digits, we couldn't do so.
They grabbed 16 more rebounds than we did, and we shot under 30%. For me, it's frustrating, that a decent amount of our missed shots came off open looks, maybe not wide open, but still makeable. As much as Tara has touted our shooting this season, it's mystifying that we can't knock down shots more consistently. Yes, we had 62 points in the second half against SF, but just because we had a great second half, don't forget our miserable first 20 minutes.
We also gave up 17 offensive rebounds. I don't know if it's our defensive scheme or something, but I'm tired of playing good defense, then letting a team get a fresh 30 to try again. Cox had 15 rebounds, but Brown had just 3. It was their guard Wallace with 10 and another player Cohen with 9, including 8 o-boards betwen the two of them. I can understand their bigs reaching up to get rebounds, but we have to do a better job of containing their other players from grabbing the rebound.
