Tail spin?

What is up with the team? Beat UW and then go into a tail spin.

I was hoping for big things this year but am very concerned.

All road games too.

We have five out of six at home now, so hopefully we can right the ship before conference play.

good question....let's look at some things we have noticed...shooting is abysmal on the whole. There is no motion offense running, quick low percentage shots lead to misses and except for Wade we are undersized in the post so we have shots that fail leading to oppostion possessions which then usually result in a basket (most teams are shooting better than we are) and our percentage at the line when we get there stinks too - pretty much bball fundamentals.

Except for Jones and Marchant who shoot > 40% long range, the rest are about 25% or less, so a lot of the players with the most minutes are not hitting. Offense needs to change. And as valuable as Faucher is, her 6.3 TO's per game is way too high, esp if the other team scores off them which they so far seem to do....those two areas give the opposition about 15-25 points per game from turnovers and lost second chance points. Just a few observations.

Hopefully they will figure it out sooner rather than later as pretty soon no one will want to try and confidence will wane. If what they are doing isn't working and no changes are made, the players will lose faith in the coach and that's never good.
