I agree with you and want to see our players make their FTs at 80+%. We can expect a very aggressive, physical Miss team that figures they have nothing to lose by playing that way. It looks like they have terrific defense. We need to be equally aggressive and rely upon our depth and better skills. We want to avoid silly fouls, only get those where we challenge shots, rebounds, and make Miss feel some physical pain.
Jump isn't going to get more than one or two open looks, hope she hit those limited opportunities. We want to beat them badly in the paint which is what SC did to them. And we need to take care of the ball with limited turnovers. Let's shoot 45+% and hold thme to less than 35%. Emma-Nnopu and Nivar might be impt. for us on the perimeter.
I want to see our teamplay with the energy and intensity that not only matches but also exceeds opponents, totalhustle and all out play.
