While this team is most definitely down on talent, it's also down on leadership, confidence and competitive drive. Not a good formula. I'd like to see more fight. Duke is good, but they aren't So Carolina. Demetre and Bosgana were just absent today. A combined 5 points and 4 boards from 2 seniors in 47 minutes. They are way better than that and need to set a better on court example. Nunu didn't have her best stuff, but at least she kept fighting.
Agree. In my book, extended failure to fight should be debited to the coach's account. No excuse for that. Does KP read the riot act to players for not hustling and pull them to get the message across, or is she too "nice" to do that? By the way, our starters were 12 for 44 for the game! Duke's were 21 for 45! Yikes.
