This game certainly raises doubts about out chances in the NCAAs if not whether we can even win the P12. I had a bad feeling about this game prior to its start.
We shot better from 3, from the line, and overall, but we got beat badly on the boards and had too many TO's. The rebounding deficit was due to something I observed and commented early in the season. We don't execute fundamentals well on rebounding. We rrely too much on our size and don;t block out like we should.
I didn't like our rotation today nor the lineup with Haley at point. Leopolo isn't the same since her injury and Nivar didn't get much time. Jump has been off on her shot - she's pressing.
But all that aside, we lost because UW outhustled us. We had a lack of intensity and couldn't crank up pressure on D. The offense was too stagnant and we didn't move the ball well. UW just played like they wanted it more. And I've noticed for a number of games now, we are getting very few run outs/fast breaks. We had one today, but that was the first I recall in a while.
Players and coaches will have to do some soul searching as we clearly aren't a smooth running machine.
