Can't hit a shot, not rebounding.  We're getting blown out.  Yuck.

Making a comeback, outscoring UTSA 19-11 in the third with 1 minute left in the quarter. Blasigh with 2 straight 3s.

Coach Fernandez needs to switch it up he can’t keep running double screens for Blasigh all game, teams already know that. Ones she gets the ball on the double screen they are up on her and she is not great in creating her own shot, everyone one else is just standing waiting for her to do something. 
In the pasted that worked for Elena, Courtney Williams and the smith twins they could come off a screen and shoot it, create her own shot, or drive and pass.

We just don’t have that type of player now so we have to runs multiple plays that involve multiple players.

Right now we are a Live by the 3, Die by the 3 type of team.

You are exactly right on all points. And this is where Aarnio comes in. She is the only player on the team that can take it to the hoop with authority. She has the quickness and ball-handling skills to penetrate and the height and length to shoot over taller defenders. If we can't penetrate, which all the teams know by now, we are not going to win many more games. It is looking like we may end up with a losing record. There were a few times where Asensio got the ball out behind the arc and the defender quickly tried to get to her to prevent a 3. Asensio had the opportunity to penetrate, as the defender went by her, to stop and take a short open jumper just inside the FT line and she passed up every time.

If I am an opponent, I am guarding 2 players (Levy and Blasigh) tightly and will let everyone else do what they want. If Levy was as good a shooter as Blasigh, she would have a higher scoring average. Levy misses a lot of shots where she is guarded but because of her height, she gets a clean look but just misses. Blasigh, on the other hand, is bad when guarded tightly.

Looking like Emma is in the doghouse now. Only 4 minutes.

Coach has some serious coaching to do.
