hard to predict them from one game to another.
I still don’t think losing to UT by 2 points in a game that could have gone either way is a bad loss. Disappointing because of the high stakes, yeah, but not a bad loss. UT has size, athleticism, and despite their youth, more overall talent than any other team in the conference except Miss State and SC, yes, even more than us. If you told me before the season that we would have 2 close games with them that both went down to the wire and we split them, I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I think they will find a way into the tournament as a 10 or 11 seed and then beat a 6 or 7 seed in the first round and then give a 2 or 3 seed all they can handle.
We have strengths and flaws but I think the most significant flaw is the dysfunction on offense. We just have little or no margin of error on offense when Sophie and Amber aren’t having great games scoring. Not a single other player has stepped up on offense to consistently bring 10–12 points a game in support. We miss way too many layups. And the flow on offense is terrible much of the time when LA is running point, and better with Levy, but variable due to her freshman mistakes. It feels like we must lead the nation in possessions that end up with the clock winding down and resulting in a desperation shot, or no shot at all.
