14-0 points off TOs... and we haven't exactly played a clean half. Tells me the team is focused on not compounding mistakes after they turn the ball over and are getting back to defend.

Off ball screens. Back cuts. Lob plays. Spacing properly for isos. All different ways to play that could work with this roster

There’s so much to be desired. TJ isn’t going to fix it because he isn’t an offensive coach. We will keep bashing our dicks in with Schmidt running the same actions with guys that aren’t very well suited for it
Obviously not a one-to-one but it's very Tom Manning-y to me. The results have obviously been great overall and they do run some good some some times. But too much of the game plan is just hoping players have enough talent to overcome suboptimal planning. There are just far too many possessions where they run an iso but don't even bother to clear any space and everyone stands and watches. It's not surprising it looks excruciating in end of half situations where everything tightens up.

I hated the stupid award they keeping talking about before I knew Caitlin Clark won it.

To be fair I think he’s playing with a broken leg
