I hope Holly remembers what happened in this game and uses it to prepare for future games. Jones should start and play 30+ minutes a game. Jones and Graves have chemistry together and any offensive set that does not work through those two is dumb if the opponent cannot stop it. They both work very hard on defense and rebound. Burdick should sub and play a max of 15 minutes. She is too slow on D and hesitant on O. Harrison plays better at PF. Holly needs to simplify things for her and she will do much better. Carter and Reynolds need more minutes - quality players that will keep getting better. Simmons should play primarily as a catch and shoot other than transition. She gets to the open spot well and when in rhythm can knock them down. When she tries to create she messes up a lot, especially in big games. Somebody needs to get in her head about that as well as being a defensive liability due to her mental approach. This is her last shot at a Final Four. Keep Russell inside the paint on D and low block on O at all times where she has value and forget the high post.

Finally - the LVs D is softer than I have ever seen it - period. That tells the world they are not tough and/or in shape. Which is why Holly uses the zone so much. If they play a good 3 point shooting team they are toast - as ND and others have proved to them. She has about 5 - 6 weeks to get them to play LV style defense if they are going to. Would be a shame to see that much talent underperform again.
