Some notes:
5-5 in last 10 games, been up and down. Beat a good Louisville team, lost to some weaker opponents in WF (quad 3) and ND.
Game Tape: Vs. UL (Big loss):
Game Tape (highlights): vs. UL (win): watchstadium.com/videos/louisville-vs-florida-state-womens-basketball-highlight-2020-21-womens-basketball/
Opinion: FSU is a talented team that needs to get into rhythm. When they beat UL, UL shot horribly (3-20 from 3 pt range, 35% overall). FSU didn't do a lot better (23% from 3pt range, 32% overall). Offensive rebounds hurt UL in that game.
I generally think this is a good matchup for us. They aren't strong in our areas of weakness for us this season: Forcing TOs (#181) , hurting us from deep (#124 - 32%) or rebounding margin (#146 +0.6). Their 3pt Defense is decent at #101 (29.8%), with only Stanford ranking higher of opponents we've played. That said, this is a tough stat to rank well in within the Pac-12 (we are near the very bottom, but Utah is still below us - they rank around UCLA for this stat).
