Wish I had recorded that game so I could go back and look at each of our TO's. Some observations from the data:

1. At one point we were outscored on points off TO's 25-4. Ended with 27-9. Remarkable that we could overcome that to win the game.

2, Subtracting out Marta's six TO's, 18 of the remaining 23 came from our backcourt. We have very good players, but not the most athletic against some teams. Need to do less dribbling and set more screens to avoid players being left on an island by themselves, both in bringing the ball up and in the half-court.

3. Marta needs to figure out the best role for her particular talents. There is plenty of tape to watch of her successes and of where things don't work as well.

But congratulations to the team on everything thal they did do well to win this game.

Thanks very much for the link. Next time it starts raining I am going to review.

One more thing I noticed in the data is that all of our players had a positive plus/minus for their time in the game, except for the two freshmen. Another indication of how good we can be if we can also cut the TO's.

I did rewatch and there was a bit of everything in the way of TO's.

Marta had a couple of offensive fouls which were ok because we do need her trying to play physical. But her more frequent TO's were when she tried to make plays off of the dribble. It's nice to have her able to dribble a bit to move the ball around when we need it. But against a good aggressive team, looking to score off the dribble herself, that looks like a problem.

Kayla had some TO's trying to make plays, but also made some bad passes and lost the ball under pressure a few times. It would really help if we had a back-up PG, since Williams has to have some fatigue playing all of these long minutes. Maybe King can give us some of those minutes as the season progresses.

In general, we do need more ball movement and less individual dribbling, so that is what I would work on.

Again, emphasizing the positive, this is a team that makes an all-out effort, and has a very strong defense along with great outside shooting.

Regarding Marta let me say I'm a big fan of her's because of her aggressiveness and effort. In the half court offense when defenses are extending I like seeing Marta driving and dribbling. For me, the correction should be made when Marta rebounds on the defensive end, she has a tendency to turn and dribble herself, and these are the situations when we are much better off if she outlets to Kayla, Ioanna, even Lulu, or one of guards playing. That would be my suggestion.

Unfortunately, in this game she was 0 for three on the dribble drive moves, with all three resulting in TO's. Will have to keep an eye on whether she can get better results than that against other good teams.

She drives against a defense that has scouted her so they bring second defenders who often strip the ball

She either needs to read defense better, develop her handling skills (e.g. diversify her drives with hesi's) or pass more

Probably all three, but she is an alpha and a big key to this team offensively and defensively
