I know people like to say this team is so talented but they actually lack a lot of talent. Only 2 players can create their own shot in Rickea and Jordan. They need to get more athletic players especially on the wing.
It’s extremely disconcerting how poorly this team defends and rebounds. And it makes no sense. Last year’s team was great in that regard and almost everybody from that team came back.
I thought we actually had some really nice ball movement and cuts in the first quarter, UCLA just couldn't miss from 3. But we seem to have completely gone away from that since then.

Why is Key on the floor? She's taken 1 shot, 1 rebound in 14/15 minutes, does have 3 blocks. But we're getting
killed by their 3s: Harper should have our best perimeter defenders playing a lot. UCLA has made 13 treys! In less than 3 quarters!
That adds up to a loss. You gotta play a smaller lineup when you're getting torched from the outside.
UCLA is 19th according to some rankings so it is clear we are not even top 25. If we continue playing like we are now we absolutely will not make the tournament. We have to improve a lot and do it quickly.
It just doesn't feel like a team. If feels like a bunch of kids who have never played together before and have no idea what to do. Kellie has exacerbated that with how she runs her lineups. She pretty much assures they don't gel by doing that.
We already know we’re losing this game. If we lose the next game, will you be concerned? This question is really for loyalists but what would our record need to be for you all to be alarmed? We started the season ranked #4 but will be 2-3 after this game, with one loss to an unranked team.
