Unfortunately, we've been having games like this recently. Cal exposed our offensive vulnerabilities and Close & Gottlieb learned well from the tapes and showed that it was not an aberration.
Even if we come back and win this game, Tara will need to find a way to jumpstart our offense and adjust when facing this defensive scheme. When teams are denying your All-Americans with double or triple teams, that should leave others with the space they need to attack and we haven't done that. Once you realize you got more than one defender on you, that means there's an open or at least semi-open teammate somewhere. Move the ball and find that unguarded player.
