A few observations. 

1. Jake Curtis points out just how bad our 3 point shooting has become this year.  At 31.3% it is the worst in school history.

At least that makes it easy to know what opponent strategies will be.  Ca.l is not on to anything that is not obvious to everyone.

2. I wonder who will be officiating and how they will call it.  Last time we had a 10 point edge in free throws and even so they could have called a lot more fouls than they did.  Nneka, however, was only 6-18 and did not get a single free throw.  Hard to believe that she was double teamed and hacked for 43 minutes without getting a single free throw.  That defies credulity.

Chiney, on the other hand, got 12 FTA.  Not sure why the discrepancy.  I noticed when watching that game that they were calling fouls when the shooters' arms were getting hacked but that absolutely anything was being permitted from the armpits down.

3. Toni saved us in the first game, with 18 points.  The last 4 games she has scored 0, 6, 3, 6.  She is overdue to break out.  Of course, Amber and Joslyn and others could also break out--but I imagine that people named Ogwumike won't get us more points this time than they were able to last time, since the defensive strategy is so obvious.
