Her shooting style makes a lot of sense to me. Classic form is great
if you have large hands. Using one hand to stabilize the ball works
well for many players. The bottom line is she has a quick release and
is very accurate. Trying to change it because it’s a variant of “ideal”
would be foolish unless she were a bricklayer which she clearly is not.
Don’t mess with success!

I’m mystified by this whole discussion. It’s been established by photos that Tudor takes her left hand off ball prior to release...she may do it a nano second later than is the norm, and her non-shooting hand is in a slightly different position on the ball than is common.
But otherwise her shot incorporates form elements common to 99% of college/pro players regardless of gender. Namely begin elevation with both hands on the ball, and shortly before shooting, release one hand.
A notable exception was HOF-er GEORGE MCGINNIS who removed the non-shooting hand early in his rise toward apex position...instead he balanced ball in his huge shooting hand and released it with a distinctive one arm pump. Quite stylish on his part.

What is indisputable and most important is that Kat Tudor has a quick release and is very accurate from the outside.
Currently ranked #18 nationally in three-point accuracy among D1 women's players, Tudor is a primary reason why the Beavers are the best shooting team in the nation from beyond the arc. I really don't care how her shot may look to several basketball shooting form "purists" on this thread. The bottom line for me is that Tudor's proven ability to connect from distance is one of the reasons why the Beavers will be a difficult match up (and a scary out) for any team that it will play in the PAC-12 tournament and the NCAA tournament this season. Just ask the #6-ranked Oregon team and its fans.....
