I bet, after a brief warm up, I could hit 8 of 10 from the line. It's technique and mental focus. Like riding a bike, one never forgets the mechanics of shooting a basketball.
Okay....'nough of the negative. Looks like Brooke is being Brooke...getting her team to peak when it matters most. This has been her track record. I am cautiously optimistic we will win it in Frisco. Let me clarify... I have no doubt we will play well, because Brooke has this team peaking and believing in itself. But we all know that in this game, night to night, anything can happen. We've seen our teams victimized by some player getting red hot and shooting lights out from the arc, like hitting 10 three's when that same player had hit only 4 all season long! Ugh! It happens.
That is why I won't say: we will definitely win it all in Frisco. I will say: we will play well enough to win it all.
Go Techsters!
I LOVE to see a player's coach! Watching those locker room videos show that her teams respect her and are SO wanting to please her! They are a true team!

How long has it been since this was the case?
Re: W. Basketball. @LATechWBB Snaps Rice's 15-game Home Winning Streak
Can they get an NIT bid if they get a tourny victory?

Since Barmore, actually...... We thought Spoon would be that, but it didn't work out that way.

I think it is iffy........ If we get to the finals, I would think we would get in the WNIT - I think... That is the reason I wanted WKU to be on the opposite side of the bracket. I would rather play WKU in the finals and not before - if we win the games before that.
However, WKU being upset by Southern Miss last night brings a whole new dynamic to the tournament now.

I hope Brooke uses the Locker Room videos to recruit some great players, because those videos are indeed very motivational. The videos show a team BUYING what the coach is SELLING!
