Good
- The team showed some grit to get this to overtime
- Somfai having a positive second half/OT after foul trouble in the first half
- Eschmeyer
Bad
- it’s still a loss and now there is a real risk of missing the tournament. Probably not quite there yet, but it’s a very thin margin now.
- Ogden not getting/taking enough shots again. And it wasn’t a zone limiting her this game.
- Agara was not effective again even before she got hurt.
- no Lepolo = no point guard depth. Clardy played all 45 minutes. That isn’t viable going forward, but there are no other options.
- Ijiwoye was a mess in this one so I get the limited playing time, but I don’t get not having her in to foul or try for a steal at the end of Q4 and OT.
- staff seemed…. confused. For example Somfai and Eschmeyer both had 4 fouls at the end of regulation when we needed to foul. Both were on the court and fortunately somebody else fouled. Alex then came out after that foul but Somfai stayed on. Neither should have been on the court at that point
As a more overall negative I am getting very skeptical about Swain long term.
