For me, probably the most frustrating season to watch since I gave up coaching and now have plenty of time to watch my favorite girls basketball program. I was so encouraged after watching the red/white scrimmage in October, and felt really confident about this team after the first 10 games of the season. Watching this team compete and should have won the pre-season WNIT, and holding their own against a very good Duke team, gave hope that this team was capable of not only winning the Big XII, but also going deep into the NCAA's.
I don't know what the problem is with these kids. I typically am optimistic about Sherri Coale coached teams, I see the talent there, but to not have a fire in their belly to compete on every possession, every game, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. We have 3 solid seniors who should be leading this team, and taking no prisoners, but they take way too many plays off. I really hope last night will be their last wake up call, and they can get back to playing defense like their previous two games. If not, and right now I don't see when the "light" is going to come on, this will be the most disappointing season I have witnessed in the Sherri Coale era.
