I wonder if you do a statistical analysis of where the top teams make their shots, on where we would rank on midrange jumper attempts. I feel like other teams do it more often than we do, even though I think it's a perfectly valid shot that we underutilize, especially when teams crowd the paint and defend the perimeter as well as Oregon did on Sunday afternoon.

I've seen DiJonai and Kiana make those FT-distance jumpers and I feel like the Hull sisters and Alanna could as well. Of course 3 points is better than 2, but sometimes you have to take what a defense gives you.

Speaking of how McPhee went off against Oregon last year, I feel DiJonai has a similar playing style as Brittney, so I was surprised that it wasn't used to more effect this time around or perhaps the Ducks took greater efforts to prevent a repeat performance.

In general, I feel like that has been our Achilles' heel the last few years and when a team like Oregon who has the talent, length and height to do it to great effort, our offense runs out of gas way too easily. I would love for an in-depth response from Tara, perhaps in an off-season interview when she can reveal more, about why we have these consistent struggles year after year with different personnel groupings.
