Because the last six opponents have been much better. Depending on t.o.s and putbacks doesn't substitute for actual offense against good teams. Never has. Even Pat found that out painfully in the early 2000s.
Boy howdy, that TN experience is a blast right now isn't it? Who wouldn't want to come participate in breaking every negative record for a once storied program?
The half court D is awful, no one can keep anyone in front of them. This has been a problem for the LVs for years. But even worse, our interior defense is completely nonexistent. I wonder if they're giving up those easy lanes to the rim because they're trying not to foul. They do foul too much, and CKC has put an emphasis on that. Whatever the problem it's awful and has completely negated the fact that we're shooting much better. As my dad would say if it ain't p*ss ants it's spiders
Not sure how much we can blame the system and not just the coach and her players. She has dialed the system so far back that she barely trapped at all tonight and pressed appropriately. Of course she does still hang on to the Willey Nilly subbing and that's hurting the cause.
The bad news is playing more "normal" is getting us closer then the 30,40 point blowouts, but we're still not winning. I think it's simply that neither our coaches nor our players are as talented as the teams were now playing. Simple as that
