[Apparently I clicked Post at one point rather than Preview. This was the intended post.]
A team loss. Tara may have wanted to change things up, but whatever she tried either was the wrong thing or wasn't enough. It wasn't one player (although that isn't to say that some players stood out more than others. I'll point out that Mikaela had 16pts + 22reb and Chiney had 23pts and 14 rebounds. You can say our forwards were not really the problem.).
Amber showed she couldn't keep up with Plum--she got burned so many times. We showed that when we have the players who take our 3 point shots in the game (Lili, 2 of {Samuelsons + Greenfield}, Amber, & Chiney), we have no penetration to disrupt the defense.
We found that you can't depend on 3 point shots to carry the game. They're a good threat to free up Chiney, but if they don't fall, both ends of our game are hampered. We didn't do the kind of guard play on offense (and, face it, the Samuelson's & Greenfield can't) it takes to get the double & triple teams off Chiney.
I was surprised we got 34 of 41 rebounds at our defensive end and 23 of 55 at our offensive end. It felt that we were being out-rebounded.
Maybe I'll let someone else point out specific shortcomings of play on the field. I took a lot of notes, but I won't be able to view the video again until Thursday.
