Tara says FGCU has a "very very different style that is very effective." "Each quarter our defense got better and our offense got better." Our post players were challenged to guard non post players. Tara calls out Jones, Jump, Lepolo for praise. Praised several other guards. "It is hard to play against smaller players." "Haley had a really nice bounce-back game." "Betts couldn't find the basket yesterday but that will change today."
"We have a long way to go." "We are not screening as well as we need to, we are not moving the ball as well as we need to, but this will improve." A different offense than any in the last 6 years. "I'm trying to be patient but that is challenging too <chuckle>"
"This is a legitimately deep team." "If we are able to play 14 or 15 we will." Notes her young players need quality minutes to develop. Praised Jump's physical development--great shape--never gets tired and works hard on her defense. The quintessential Stanford basketball player."
