I am not looking forward to playing Colorado again, chiefly because I worry about injuries every time we do, but also because it will no doubt be an ugly defensive battle.
That said, our defense is darn good too, and unless one of their players has a career night our offense is better than their offense, and should break through the defensive slog more often that they will.
Our offensive doldrums do happen when our three point shooting goes into a lull--and everyone knows that. Defenses--whether sagging man or active zone or whatever--will all try to shut down the paint first and make us hit jumpers. If we don't hit those jumpers, then it will be a low scoring game and anything can happen. Brink won't have a big game unless jumpshots force some of the defense to come out of the paint.
I am very encouraged by Brink's three point shooting. That is going to help. And it is also encouraging that Wilson's offense has come alive.
We need Jump's shots to start falling, but also Lacie's and Lexie's. We need to be that 5 or 6 or 7 headed Hydra again.
