This Team Will Get Better

There is every reason to believe this team will lose a minimun of two more games in the remaining 10, which will be the most conference games the Beavs have lost in quite some time. If Kat and Aleah (or possibly Kennedy) get the 3 going again, it's also possible they could win out in the last 10 conference games.

It's my opinion the coaching staff is superior, Mik and Destiny are one of the top guard combos in the country, and the freshman are very talented...but they are freshman. I do expect to see improvement from Taylor and Kennedy in these next 10 games, but other teams will see improvement as well.

They started the season 15-0, and it wouldn't completely surprise me to see them finsh the Pac-12 10-0, or 13-0 thru the Pac12 tourney. I don't know that they will get it done, but the talent is there if they can put it together these next few weeks.

The good news for the Beavs is that none of their losses were real blowouts, but they did lose, and that's what counts. They need to learn to pull those games out, and that is one aspect where they need the freshman to step up, and the shooters to hit their shots.

If for no other reason, I would absolutely hate to see this team not finish strong for Mik's sake. She deserves to go out a winner, so I am really hoping for her sake, this team has a nice run in the NCAA tourney.

As for the current records of the above mentioned teams, UCLA still has that easy Pac 12 schedule, but they still have to face the Beavs and ducks, Stanford, and the Arizona's on the road. The Arizona's get to stay home in their only game against Stanford this year, and still face UCLA at home and the Beavs and Ducks on the road. It will be quite the battle for fourth place in conference.
