Maybe my (old) eyes are deceiving me, but it seems Brink's missed midrange shots have a slightly higher trajectory (more like Demetre's), than her games earlier in the season, when she was fairly consistent, and even hitting a decent percentage of 3's.

Or is it just a mental thing at this point where she's lost confidence in that shot?

The other question I have is- What do you think was the reason why (in the last 3-4 minutes of the game), Brink was getting the ball, maybe 15 feet from the basket, and looking around for someone to pass to?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she drove to the basket once in that stretch.

All that standing around late in the 4th. quarter when Haley or Talano or Nivar is dribbling the ball (and being pressured), seemed more like we were playing not to lose rather than playing to win.
