The usual results, some good things and some concerning things.
The Good
-Like the fact they knocked down the turnovers from game 1 to game 2 (21 to 12) while maintaining the same amount of assists. Keep those turnovers around 12-18 this year.
-Evers is going to be a handful for teams this year. I am expecting a big senior year from here.
-Dyer was solid handling the ball (13 assists to 3 turnovers) and was solid rebounding. If she can do that and consistently be in double figures, we will be alright.
-1st game back for Mia and nearly pulled a double-double. Once she gets her legs back I am expecting even bigger things for her this year.
-Good to see Lauck provide some punch in the 2nd unit, that will be huge going forward in that 2nd line.
My concerns
-3 point shooting: I know we are not a strong 3 point shooting team and we are a physical get to the boards type team, but if we want to really make some noise this year, we need girls to step up and keep teams honest from the 3 point line.
-Backup Center: Kiser or Roscoe need to fill this void. They don't need to be amazing, just provide what Emily did for Wall last year, rebounds and some bench points here and there.
Based on the exhibitions alone, I expect Strand to play right away and the rest to redshirt. Also looks like Brew will go with Szabla, Dyer, Burck, Loyd, and Evers as starters. With Knox and Lauck off the bench. Its nice to have 7 girls who can realistically start for this team.
