Sloppy game passing and also hanging onto the ball.  But it was a first game, and that is kinda what often happens.  I hope Wilson is ok after banging her back/hip while taking a charge.  Defense was generally good.  There was a bit too much gambling on steals from our guards at times, leaving them out of position and beaten to the rim.  It was a weird game, in that I don't think we played that well, mostly due to the turnovers, too many missed layups, and too much fouling on defense, but we just wrecked a team that is undersized but is favored to win their conference I believe.  I also thought our press break needs work.  It was too slow and indecisive too much.  But first game, and good practice for Texas so ok.

Returners all looked fine, not all in mid-season form, but nothing concerning.  I don't want to say point guard is an issue because it was a team-wide TO fest but we do need to settle down with the ballhandling.

I was impressed with Demetre's smooth shot.  She is not flashy but she is very effective.  Agree that Iriafen is going to be a beast inside.  Like all frosh, she has things to improve but everything is there for her to be a great post.  Bosgana can be a bit wild but she is confident and sees the game well.  Tara called her a playmaker in a story somewhere and I can see why.  I would love to see what Harriel can do but seems she is coming back from an injury of some sort and they are taking it slowly.  Our freshman look very, very promising.  It may be hard to get them on court given who we have returning though.
