I was a tad nervous that this team was "unfairly" living in the wake of Sabrina, Ruthy, and Satou. So when they lost to Stanford, UCLA and then mailed it in against AZ the fireworks that they are struggling to find an identity on the fly seemed very real. To be very honest, without Prince showing up "almost healthy" yesterday, those questions still may not have been answered. Luckily a clear path has now been lit for the rest of the team to follow. The key " for me" is to keep Prince healthy and rested as to not put to much pressure on her to carry this team until the others have the D-1 confidence to be major contributors. Parrish looked sooo much more comfortable out there knowing she could toss it into Prince. I'd like to also see Dugalic and Sabally be in at the same time to play double danger rebounders when Prince takes a rest.
My hope is at some point either Sabally or Dugalic is going to channel their inner Karl Malone. That is the missing ingredient for this team and one very necessary to beat the more physical southern schools who play soooo tough around the glass!
We'll see....
