I agree with your post. I think a lot of their mistakes are coming from inexperience; thats why you win with juniors and seniors. I see some good stuff in these kids. I was very proud of the way they came back and won the LSU game. It was a very important win and it could be a real confidence builder going down the home stretch. When the game was on the line I thought Ariel made a very smart pass to Graves underneath to tie the game; she could have shot it herself. I think if this team can cut down their mental mistakes they could do some fun things.
Stop with the "inexperience" argument. That's a cheap excuse. Spani, Simmons, Massengale, Burdick, Williams: All experienced, some of them very experienced. That's five of the 7 players who played against LSU. Defense is a problem with this team--the guards don't play good defense, and we don't have enough size inside to stop people. The defense in the Notre Dame game was pathetic. We've got talent, but have been handicapped by injuries, mediocre half-court offense and mediocre defense. We're good enough to beat everybody but the really good teams, basically.
