Game thread Witchita State

But she can guard. That's just it. Also, she is a freshman. How does she develop? You have to giver her some game time experience. Also, she makes good passes and doesn't throw the ball away and she understands the game. My thing with these freshmen is you have players on the team for three and four years now who for whatever reason have not gotten better. You have Harrison who has gotten better, Jones has gotten better, Reynolds has possibly gotten better. So, get those other players out like Burdick, Massengale, Carter, and get these freshmen in and Tucker and see if they can develop their game. We already know what the current set are going to do. I would rather go through growing pains with the freshmen than watch these others fumble around and ride on Harrison's coat tails.

The off-season is how you get better, to me shes still not better than all those players you mention, she can shoot the 3 against cupcakes whoooopeee, Rutgers or Texas guard would have punked her. Its ok for her to develop by her Junior year and but until get mop up minutes or if we play zone.

And you usually when a team sucks offensively, it means the players aren't getting the gym on their own

Reynolds, Cooper-point
Deshields, , Middleton, Jackson-two
Nared, Tucker, or Jackson-three
Jones, Dunbar-four
Graves, Russell, Moore-five

This would be more of a 4 guard line-up. The thing about a lot of these players is they are so versatile and tall like DeShields, Nared, Tucker, Jackson, Dunbar they can play anywhere from the two to the four. You take players like Dunbar, Nared or Tucker and put them at the four and they could roll out and knock down three's all day like Stewart does with UCONN. A head coach has to give them confidence to do that. There is something going on with this team that all of a sudden they can't hit a three.

Love the lineup, the versatility next year will be amazing, all parts will be interchangeable.

Cooper (Depends on Reynolds play)
Deshields
Tucker
Jones
Graves/Russell

I would give Middleton some time now tho.
