Maybe a little more Rae tonight she is an excellent defender. Rae, Alexus, Jordan, Jordan H, Key that is a really good five then Miles, Darby, Green, and Puckett off the bench may be as deep as we go tonight. Of course Darby will start, but expect again Puckett and Burrell will cut into the minutes she plays.I do believe our length and defense had a lot to do with Arkansas’ poor shooting. Having watched it a few times now I actually think Kellie was spotting Ramirez hers. That’s why Tess was on her when she was in the game. A little strategic, let team’s volume scorer kinda do their thing and everyone else gets forgotten about. The volume scorer will end up taking even more shots than usual.
Our weakest 1-1 defender guarded Amber all game except for a few minutes where Horston guarded her when she got hot from mid-range. After Jordy picked her up for a minute she went back to launching 3s. I do not believe she scored at all when Horston was on her.
Wolfenbarger and Daniels are not used to shooting over our length. Jersey in particular was rushing her shots afraid Tamari was going to block her from 3. Suspect A&M will find it similarly difficult.
I do believe if we win the battle in the paint and the battle on the boards we will win. My hope for today is to see the team play more consistently in the middle stretch of the game. To start the season our first quarters were rough. Now they are playing great to start and finish games. If we can get 40 minutes of that kind of play from each player who enters the game we will start blowing out even some good teams.
