Being from VC and watching that team play I can tell you that Coach Dockter down there is not in a good situation. That program making state last year was a once in a lifetime thing. I don't think that either the boys or the girls teams in VC will win a game this year. But the girls are especially bad. Jossy only shoots so poorly because there is NOBODY on that team that can score, let alone even dribble a basketball. After she graduates, they may have to drop to a jv level program just to work back up to being competitive. I really feel sorry for Jossy right now, as she has to work 5 times harder than anyone on the court just to keep her team in the game. When she is surrounded by talent, you won't even recognize her as far as ability goes. I'm sure she'll be able to come in and play the same role next year that Mahlum did as a freshman.

I agree that she doesnt have a lot of talent to work with in her teamates, but a truly good player makes fellow players around him or her better. Im not saying Bergan is a bad player, because she is far from it, but to say that the lack of talent in her teamates is the sole reason she is shooting so poorly is pushing it. Her shot needs work and is obviously not the reason UND recruited her. Bergan was probably wanted more for her defense and dribbling abilities.

I would agree that our only question mark would be the 3. I was rather disappointed in Ledger and Guinn on the defensive end last night. Ledger doesn't seem to be able to keep up with her girl on that end of things yet. She kept getting blown past or would get caught going for the steal on every pass. I have been impressed with her offensive game for the most part however. UND92,96 what are your thoughts on Ledger's defense?

Well, it looked to be as if Roebuck was trying a new press zone maybe? Almost like a 2-2-1 trap. So with the women trying something new, there are bound to be a couple mistakes. As for Ledger's defense, I still think she is a bruiser. She did get burned on a couple drives, but have you noticed her weakside defense? She is always in the passing lanes and stepping up to take a charge. She is a tough, aggressive player and maybe last night was her off night, but I still have total confidence in her on the defensive end as well as the offensive. She has some great post moves and awesome leaping abilities.
