I haven't been able to watch any of the tournament games, so a big thanks to those of you who can keep us updated. It's so encouraging that Fingall is coming back strong - just before she went down with the ACL injury, I'd noticed she was starting to make jump shots from around the elbow and high post. Having a big who can step back and shoot or step forward and drive to the basketball is something we've largely lacked apart from Smith, who was really more of a do-everything forward. It would also free us to play Fingall & Belibi together, which would enhance our physicality around the basket. Otherwise I don't think we can run the Princeton very effectively if 2 of our 5 players on the floor aren't credible shooters from beyond a few feet of the basket.
I'll definitely be eager to see how we handle Vic's defensive pressure. And I'm not going to lie: that 2011 loss to A&M is a wound that festers to this day, so I'd sure love to pay it back with interest! Should be a good test to see where our young team is, and which players want to step up and get playing time when it matters.
