Twenty-nine straight points? We lost by 21.
For the most part, we just fell apart after getting a 15-4 lead. Nobody wanted to shoot. we passed up open shots. We had dumb turnovers that even junior high players wouldn't make. Horrible passes. High dribbles that they just intercepted on the way down.
Ana has become a problem. What did she do positively? She has the ability. But, her thoughts are in the twilight zone. Dumb passes. Makes plays without thinking. If she were to start thinking, we might actually have a chance in these games. She has the ability.
Madi and Mandy did play well. Madi got two completely bogus fouls called on her. Her third was a good block on an obvious charge.
Some of these "moving screens" are not being called properly. Mandy was called for one when she wasn't even setting a screen. She was trying to pass to Taylor, and the Baylor player reached around her to foul her on the pass. Instead, they called a moving screen on Mandy. BS.
We had one series that was beautiful. I think it was Landrum that put a bar arm into Ana's chest to begin a drive. Knocked Ana down. They didn't call it. Then, on the other end, they DID call Ana for a bar arm that she put on Landrum that was mostly Landrum overacting.
Horrible offciating that did hurt, not enough to mean a win. But, at some point, the officials need to recognize that Baylor does commit fouls---a lot. They are over-the-back a lot. Some of those steals have too much contact.
Gabby started out with a deer-in-the headlights game. Late, she began to play like it was a typical game. We let Baylor psych us out. Gabby passed up open shots for three, only to get blocked when she drove inside for a 15-foot two,
Shot selection killed us. We went from 3 minutes in the first quarter when we had 15. We didn't score another fifteen until about two minutes left in the third. Turnovers, bad shot selection, had players turning down open shots, leaving us having to take bad shots.
Murcer needs to be able to hit free throws.
