Defense will keep us in ball games. Better performance tonight. We are improving. The schedule is ridiculous. As much as I wanted to close out this game, nothing came easy late in the game. As a fan base, we have to remind ourselves we are young and inexperienced but progress is being made. My biggest concern is a balance in scoring especially when they key on Jessica S down low. Tonight...Hannah knocked down some clutch shots. We need that from everyone in the rotation to take the heat off of Shep.
As bad as the shooting was against Missouri (15%) and outside of a 16-0 run at the end of the 1st quarter and running into 2nd quarter, our defense was good enough to give us a chance to win.
I don't like the schedule at all and can only hope it prepares for the grueling stretch of Big 10 play. In the meantime, enjoyed the win.
