In hindsight, I'm glad I wasn't able to watch this one. I'll pass on the replay. I think I would've turned it off by halftime anyway. I followed on my phone down the stretch. The turnovers on every other possession were maddening!!
With DiDi at the point, the offense is going to be severely limited. Hard to complain about Chloe when we won a national title, but it was SO refreshing to have a PG in Te'a that could shoot the 3 from the top. Not to mention Juicy on the other wing. The help defender is always going to sag off DiDi and she cannot make them pay when the ball is reversed. When Trinity is on the floor at the same time, it's a disaster. That said, I've almost resigned myself to her still being the best option.
I like AP's small ball idea, but you would take a lot of lumps with Sarah at PG I'm afraid. Her % is not that great from 3 and she turns it over at an alarming rate, including some really ugly ones.
I still have hopes for Queen if she can just stay within herself. She gets my vote for the 5th starter. At the end of the day, I will defer to Mulkey that Andrews and/or Owens are just not ready. Until they are, this is just going to be a team with some offensive limitations. Still good enough to be Big 12 champs, though!
