Suffren and Baker could be absolutely deadly at mid range. When Suffren
drives to the basket her opponents have to back up and back fill because she is so frigging fast - space is the only way to stay in front of her. If Samyha can stop on a dime and nail the jumper (if the layup is blocked off), she will be double dangerous. Her shooting from mid range is improving (heck, teh 3 pointer is improving too). Excited to see her development.
Carys is probably out best shooter at 3. The mid range should be easy for her - especially with that quick release. She just needs to figure out a way to stay calm, focus, and not rush the shot. Another potential for her is to master a turn around jumper down low for the times when she may want to drive but can't get in there. I am really high on Baker's potential as well.
Overall I feel quite positive about our players and their potential as they develop. If they keep a "go for the jugular, we are gonna WIN this" attitude in their games, I think we will have a very nice end of season and - assuming we can keep folks - a very nice 2027.

Id switch ND & UNC games. ND is way more beatable with lack of depth & size**

The team "should" win 5 more games. @Cal and @uva are definitely winnable,

Nice. But I think Swanson can break out anytime. That would be huge.**

Apparently the mask was a huge issue for her vision. Shot looks much better**
