Anytime you beat a ranked team by 22 points is a good win. Thought our defense was the best of the season so far. My only criticism is that we not do a great job of help defense at times. At times all you have to do is take a step to check the penetrating player and they stop. We don't do that enough leading to layups when the player could be stopped with a check.
Offense was sporatic. At times it looked like street ball and other times a smooth machine. Too many turnovers, not because of the number but because of the type. Our game depends on the downcourt pass but too many times we tried passes with almost zero chance of connecting. And if we did the recieving member would have had little chance to score. Others were travels trying to get off highly contested shots. The problem with us taking so many hard shots is that there are open players with a better shot and we are not looking for them. Seems at times like we are in an internal contest to see who will score the most points.
Good overall game by Chavez. Liked the assists and her mid range game. Has to hit a higher percentage of treys. She has the ability. Terrific game by Williams. Most improved player on the team. Also think best game by Stewart. Smith still progressing.
Would liked to have seen more minutes for Lofton. Concerned she is going to go portal if she doesn't get more time. We need her to be ready for conference play.
With a more consistent offense we should have beat this team by at least 30 points.
