the coaches maybe?Something has to light a fire under this team though.

Totally agree. It is as if they step into a vat of some substance that slows them to a crawl. They move slowly, if at all, and the other team simply outplays them at every turn.I feel like this game was a magnification of the problems seen in the underwhelming early-season wins against teams like Cal and Vanderbilt. Just a complete lack of movement and continuity on offense. The progress made since then seemed to completely vanish in tonight's game. Baffling, as you say
Doubt ONO will ever gain bulk but totally agree that she will continue to need more coaching on fundamentals. My personal desire is for her to maximize her current skills - blocking shots (without slapping at ball), rebounding (getting position and keeping it), and making shots around the basket (keeping the ball high on layups). If she does these things, we have a potential All American.Look for ONO to have a wonderful game against UCF in the next one, because UCF has a couple of 6'3" players, neither of whom should cause major problems. She'll do well, blocking shots like a banshee, dropping that jump shot in, doing all those wonderful things, and there will be people who proclaim her cured. I wish that were the case.She needs bulk, strength and taking to hear a couple of lessons in fundamentals. I really like what she's done so far, but she is not ready to mix it up with big bigs like Lauren Cox. I sure hope that'll come by next year.
I seem to remember UCF’s bigs as actually big and tough.
