SiouxFan100 Posted November 24 Posted November 24 We lose to western Kentucky 74-69. The ugly is we had 24 turnovers and Schiller missed five free throws (she will be better I am confident) Positives would be balanced scoring. We were down by 13 in the first Qtr and came back to take the lead. Owen came off the bench and scored 10 with over 20 minutes. Thought walker would score more but she was hindered with fouls again and she had 12 rebounds we shot a decent % and outrebounded them by ten (I was concerned about rebounding coming into the season) Hurst and VAnderwahl played a combined two minutes positive game Quote
ND-fan Posted November 25 Author Posted November 25 The difference of points off turnovers is difference in this game was 11 points . If you look at other things in box score you would have thought we should have won this game. Still was good game for this team in learning to play against pressure defense. This team is showing promise of being better team than predicted. They are young team and learning to play together. Schiller going to be good player build around. The team that played today looks to be players are going to work in rotation. Still couple players may have roll to play with this team. 2 Quote

ND-fan Posted December 1 Author Posted December 1 There’s know way we turn this around until we clean up ball possession can’t have 20 plus turnovers a game. I know Hutter as coach knows how to clean this up has been coaching to long not know Mallory needs to use her assistant coaches to get this fixed. This team can be good we have talent if we can play as team and start playing smart not forcing tempo and work on getting good looks after they work there offense on inside to outside game. If this doesn’t happen we’re finish in bottom three of the conference. Quote
ND-fan Posted December 1 Author Posted December 1 I just got done watching the Marist game and I don’t know how but this team has regressed, but we are mirroring like last year. We have gotten away from team play into everyone looking for their shot especially from the three. Owen’s has gained playing time but I think when she is in there we get away from our offense. What happened to Volmer playing time I know she is freshman but she gives us length like Horne does only way she can learn is with some playing time. Mallory better look at film this week because she got this team going in wrong direction to much individualism and not team play. Quote
gfhockey Posted December 1 Posted December 1 Wonder if Zink-Carlson has more alumni positions open? or maybe we need a women’s athletic director too Quote

CMSioux Posted December 1 Posted December 1 This is what happens when hiring internal overrides hiring the best candidate. I suppose budget also came into play. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted December 1 Posted December 1 Why has Ibrahim played only 6-7 minutes the last two games? She wasn’t in foul trouble. I thought she was looking pretty good Quote
ND-fan Posted December 2 Author Posted December 2 I looked at the box score and I was surprised with Ibrahim minutes but also with number minutes by starters when we are only half done with preseason to conference play. This is young team and team that needs to build some depth and it appears we have decided on starters and rotation of several players all players with most playing time or experience with exception Schiller who played minutes like Kacie did last year did today. It showed in our play today we had two starters combined 1 for 20 shooting. It also showed in our defense we were slow covering and got out rebounded badly. Tell me how this improved our fundamental basketball when we were tired playing back to back games. Mallory talked about being ready for league tournament how about building team that learns to play game correctly we will get better shape as season goes along this long season . How’s building some confidence, this young team and if they start loosing like we are now with 5 game losing streak it just becomes learned pattern and does nothing to playing fundamental game. Mallory is going back to her history just play experienced instead developing some of her new recruits this is going to another frustrating year. Mallory hasn’t improved as coach in her five seasons and has gone through number of assistant coaches but we end up with same results. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted December 5 Posted December 5 We beat Weber state 73-69. We got way ahead and hung on. Played pretty good. Hurst and Beal had great games. 3 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted December 6 Posted December 6 I have enjoyed following the women’s team this year. There are some athletes that are good and could be really good. The next two years could be pretty fun. Quote

Hans8891 Posted December 7 Posted December 7 8 hours ago, HoopsFan03 said: Make the associate HC the actual HC and it would be even more fun! Totally agree. Mal still doesn’t get when to substitute and when to call a time out. Blow a 20 point lead and wait until it is damn near tied before finally recognizing there is a problem and calling time out. Plus not seeing what is going on on the court. Played well in the first half. They go zone and we continue to play an offense designed for man that allows them to sit in one spot and watch us hand it off 32 times at the top of the key with no accomplishment. Finally switched to get the ball in the middle but way too late. Stopped the ball movement that got us the lead in the first place. In subbing, she seems to have her subs set by time - somebody hits 3 in a row or makes great defensive plays? Doesn’t matter because the preconceived game plan says sit. For Gods sake, keep the hot hand in the game and get her the ball. 2 Quote
ND-fan Posted December 7 Author Posted December 7 I believe Mallory has her best group of assistant coaches since she has been head coach. My analysis of this we’re getting better 3 point shooting you can see girls are getting themselves set to take shot by getting squared to basket and getting their feet set to take shot. They are better at playing defense and seem to be getting better as season progresses. Third we are running some assembalnce of offense but as mentioned not changing to defense but this goes to Malory she is running the team on the floor. She might need to do more on floor strategy with her assistants. The reason this team has been more fun to watch we’re playing as team and we’re playing better fundamentally and correcting things. The last road trip we struggled but coming home I see they worked on things in past didn’t see this happen. I also think why we’re seeing some players like Beal making strides as player. Quote
