The announcers have not said why five players could not make the trip--one presumes COVID protocols but I have not heard that. Jones is having a monster day and Wilson has come to play, Lexie is 2/2 but everyone else is having a pedestrian start on the offense. Would be nice to see Jana and Iriafan take advantage of their minutes as they have been scarce.
WSU has the capacity to come back in the 2nd half quite easily, and I suspect they will unless we make some adjustments ourselves.
This first half illustrated how critically important it is for our offense to his some three point shots early to open up the Princeton back door cuts. Until three pointers go in, the Princeton is easy to defend. Force defenders to come to the three point line and then there is room for all that pretty motion to operate.
