Plus this year we lucked out in only playing one team that could make

open mid range shots. The drop coverage and poorly played zone we gave other teams 20 open shot attempts. And their high posts and guards coming off screens unguarded either couldn't make them or flat out just wouldn't take them. Which leads me to ask, what happened at UNC? They had only one player on their starting lineup that could shoot. Then their backup center (but once Kitley went out on her she couldn't make anymore, and couldn't drive it either so she couldn't hurt us either). I wonder if Courtney is super unlikable, in which case it's going to be tough going for them from here on....

I would prefer 6-8 at 220 lbs with a 4.15 40yard dash time.

Rather be a couple inches undersized at every spot than be less athletic **

That's what Frank did when he built his team in the 90s.
