Or is that what conference play is for?
I think a young player like Q and Dot to a lesser degree can be a bit passive when games keep ending in a W, when their contribution is less than they want, we want and the team wants. (applies to others besides the freshman).
When a there is a loss, (hopefully a game I taped, never watch and therefore it never happened), different things come into focus.
"I should have taken the open shot"
"I will NOT let my man get passed me"
"I'm hitting my free throws"
"MOVE THE BALL"
"If I played better, we would have won"
I also wonder what this team could be with SDS. A rebounding big with a smooth shot- I know we tend to go small, and I love DOK, but SDS next to DL late in games...
Then Q gets going...
Then things look so good.
Because being undefeated and #1 in the country- is soooo disappointing.
