Plus, she also had 10 assists, 3 steals and 4 rebounds.

BUT... it's interesting when we only see the highlights of certain players and certain games. While she had a good shooting day (4th quarter) behind the arc, it's important to note she's only shooting 30% on three pointers for the season.

For those in the know... does she always shoot that many wild contested shots from so deep? If so, we should be ripping her when they miss just as much as we celebrate her when they go in. Because those aren't good shots.

I replied to this in the other thread, but it got lost in the lock.

I haven't seen her play whole games this year, but last year she shot 40.6% from three overall on 9.5 attempts per game, and 41.6% in the Big Ten on the same number of attempts. This year she's only shooting 30.2% on 8.5 attempts overall, and 34% on 7.8 attempts in 12 conference games.

She has the ball in her hands all the time and my guess is that opponents, especially in conference, are selling out to stop her and limit her attempts. You can see in the Michigan game how many defenders they were sending at her. So she has to take some tough unassisted off the dribble shots. Her team was down late and she forced some things to try to bring them back, and she did make it respectably close in the end. She's had double-digit assists in her last two games, and had 17 assists against Penn State (averaging 8.2 apg on the year vs. 7.0 last year in the same average minutes), so she's a willing passer, even if she's forcing some shots.
