As far as the season, I'm proud of the staff and players for what they accomplished this season. They made a lot of progress.
Sherri has a strong team that can develop -- and it's only going to get better the next two years, particularly if we can land Cox, Holmes, et. all
Actually it wasn't.
She had to stop the ball. it was 2 on 1 and she gave up the 3
And the last solid fundamental team you saw here was? Sorry folks but you all talk about it every year!

This loss is on the players. It has been a while since I saw a team play a good first half then come out for the second and just forgot all about fundamental basketball and have no desire to win. A fourth year junior who has no idea where she is on the block and can't make lay-ups. That is inexcusable. I can't believe how many "chippies" we blew in the first half and continued on in the second. Hope they work on positioning, awareness, and using the glass properly over the spring, summer and early fall. A lot of talent, but desperate need for fundamentals drilled into their heads.
Over all a pretty nice season for a young team. They will take their losses and learn what it takes to get them to the next level. I have confidence in their abilities and talent, hopefully we will see a well seasoned and solid fundamental team next season with even more success than this year. Proud of their accomplishments this season, with a well earned second place finish in the Big XII and the awards to our players. Next year should be fun.
Oliver you nailed it!!!
I don't think you are getting the message. Maddie was the only backside protection as they drove past us once again, primarily because we had some people who were tired and had some fouls, and they didn't want to foul, and Maddie had a choice, protect against the obvious layup or remain out for a three. The odds on a layup are probably about 80%. The chance on the three is around 40%. Now, which decision do you make?
Go back and look at it on replay. She was inching to center court - planning to double team in the middle - a player KK was already guarding.
She kept edging in until Stanford had no choice but to toss it to a player with no defender within 30 feet.
I think it is a strategy Sherri apparently teaches. It happens all the time and has for 2 years. It nearly drove me crazy last year.
Until we find another plan for playing 3 point shooters in the corner we will be getting hit with that same thing for the foreseeable future. Let's hope she thinks it through and plays that like most other coaches do.
It happened 7 times today. That was a big part of the reason for all the 3's from the corner. Yes that girl is a good shooter - but that is all the more reason to get out there on her.
