Happy for the decisive win. Great defensive effort all the way around. But that is a very bad OSU team; probably the weakest I have seen in a decade. We could have won by 50 if our shooting was better; our shot selection was fine.
If the coaching staff told Joyner Holmes to shoot nothing but layups, she'd score at least 7 baskets every game as she'd work even harder down low. But, I know she wants to improve her mid-range game, so she hast to shoot during the game.
Ariel did not shoot well. Stayed out of foul trouble, but just couldn't find the bottom of the basket last night. Pretty much the same for Brianna, even though shooting is not her strength. If she's not driving to basket, she just isn't gonna score much. So, that's two starters who combined for 7 points; and, it wasn't due to limited minutes.
Jordan Hosey continues to fall further down the bench. Not sure if she's been hampered by an injury, but she has already been surpassed by Jada Underwood (even though Jada missed a few games with the concussion protocol).
Lashann is still up and down. But, she is a natural slasher and scorer, and can occasionally hit the mid-range jumper when in the flow of the game.
I've said this before, but the 2015 signees (Hosey, Higgs, and Aborowa) are probably gonna remain backups who get limited minutes for the rest of their Texas careers. They have athletic ability and skills, but they seem to lack the confidence and "attitude" needed to establish themselves as starters.
Very please with Alecia Sutton's play last night. Her shooting form looks picture perfect to me, especially on her free throws. Hope she continues to gain confidence and strength.
