I agree with your Dembele assessment. She’s just a freshman and hasn’t played well against the better opponents.
Personally I was disappointed in Williams game again. This was a game she should have been a bigger factor in on the offensive end. She started strong but really disappeared. She’s by far better than what we had last year, but to be a better team Ladazhia needs to become better.
Even though Arkansas shot 40% I thought our defense was lacking. I attribute a fair amount of their poor FG percentage to their shooting. They take quick shots, and many 3 point shots. We were slow to react, and a step behind in many cases. An example was them scoring a 3 with 1 1/2 seconds left in the first half. Aijha looked distracted on the play and just allowed a clear catch and shoot. Another time Dickson had just got in the game and didn’t even get a hand up to defend a 3. We didn’t switch on some screens and left shooters wide open.
Dufficy didn’t play much in the second half. I don’t know why, but it seems odd.
I thought Arkansas got far more calls in the game. Anytime a player got bumped we got the foul.
Arkansas does have several very talented players and we gave them a good tussle.
