I know a win is a win. And against a top 10ish team that destroyed us three times last year. And without Lexie and zone-buster Jump. And not really at home since this team is always "on the road". But, I found the game frustrating because I think we are a better team than we showed and could/should have won by a bigger margin. Except for her free throws and a couple of nice shots in the lane, Williams really struggled. 0 for 6 from three and 6 turnovers.
One of the big surprises of the season is how well we are doing with such poor 3 point shooting (34%). You would think that the emergence of Belibi on the inside and Jones driving/passing would lead to a higher 3 point percentage. And I think/hope that will be the case as the season progresses. And hopefully Williams and Lacie get out of their 3 point shooting slumps. They have combined to take 84 out of our 233 three pointers yet are shooting at 28% and 25% respectively. In contrast, I am very very happy to see Wilson shoot the three at such a high percentage (54%). And she has done that consistently over multiple games. Who would have thought that with a decently large number of games and shots that Wilson would be shooting a three point percentage higher than Williams and Lacie combined.
