Had to watch this one like many of you on tv. Just a few quick notes. Too much work left to do tonight!
Inside game is abysmal. Offensive threat is practically non-existent even when such a huge size advantage exists.
Berkhall still has weak hands and can’t hang onto the ball.
Major disappointment so far. Guess that means there is big room for improvement right?
Defense is a day late and a dollar short. Slow to adjust and cover. Gave up way too many treys and the last critical example was the game winner for Drake.
Shooting is nothing to write home about. It was miss after miss after miss at times. We had three scorers tonight - Durr with 21, Carlton with 19 (although she only hit 7 of 20 shots). and Camber with 16. Carlton is way too much of a volume shooter and at times this hurts the team. I love her play, but she either needs to hit at a higher rate or share the ball more.
Our game probably needs to make the shift to four guards or possibly five. The only valuable player on the season inside is Scott and even she disappeared tonight.
Big 2nd quarter run for Drake as ISU ended quarter on a 1-11 run. No inside presence at all. Outside shooting was cold as ice.
Great comeback in the fourth quarter behind Durr and Camber. Ricketts play at the end was terrible. Two fouls and provided Drake with the four point play. Ugh. As mentioned a good example of not moving well on defense. Final ISU shot was a Carlton chuck a shot and too early in the shot clock.
Right now this is a disjointed team with young guards and a complete lack of inside presence. Lots of work to do for this coaching staff. Especially when you consider Drake is not very good.
