As several have pointed out, Smith at the 5 with some other changes in the lineup could allow MU to play faster. I don't think you take Frank out, because she's too valuable shooting. However, you reduce Troup's minutes and play more Kroenke and Judd, who play faster than Troup, especially Kroenke. Or play Dembele and Gilbert together more, with Gilbert replacing Troup.
Despite last night's good game, they clearly need to take a different approach to compete more effectively in the SEC.
I was watching a video of Molly Miller who did incredibly well at Drury and is now coaching at Grand Canyon talking about her coaching philosophy. High pressure defense, and fast-paced offensive game, trying play an exciting brand of basketball. Sounded like Coach Gates the way she talked. I think Coach Pingeton hasn't adjusted her philosophy enough to the modern reality of the women's game in the SEC.
