The Vikings made enough unforced errors to last the rest of the season. We can only hope that they have it out of their system. I hope PSU works on interior defense and rebounding. . In the last two games, the UM and MSU point guards only had to beat their defender and it was all over but the shouting. There is no help on defense. In addition, one simply cannot allow the player you are defending to receive the ball 2-5 ft from the basket without having to work for it. Maybe things have changed, but I thought that you denied the post when they were down low and played behind them when they were not.
PSU can be a marvelous offensive machine;. KV is almost unstoppable from lay-up range to 15 feet and has more moves than a ballet dancer. KK is a unrelenting force who is dynamite in transition and around the basket. The team has a plethora of outside shooters and the luxury of two good point guards. At times Clair does astounding things and you have to forgive her mistakes which almost always are a result of trying to do too much. Eryn is very "heady" for her years but everyone is going to have problems guarding the UM and MSU points one-on-one. They need a little help. PSU can score with anyone (forget OSU, please), but is going to have to play much better defense if they expect to advance into the post-season.
At this point, it appears that Kate D may be the best interior defender and rebounder who gets any real minutes on the court. I expected an improvement in defense with the two new forwards but it is difficult to guard anyone from the bench. The coaches seem to have forgotten Kate W's name since the OSU game and Stephanie E has played only a few minutes since the game.
