Women vs Xavier

[UNT86]

I think she  may have finally found her pairings.  Callie Owens started for the first time along with Charlene Shepherd.  She only put one of the freshman guards on the floor at a time in the first half.  I think Jackson played the first quarter and Boyd the second.  Summer Jones has been coming off the bench late in games but has shown the ability to provide some offense.  She started for the first time too.

Her second group included Destinee McDowell and Anisha George to provide scoring.  Madi Townley is starting to take a few more shots too.  Trena Mims came off the bench but it was clear that she was taking the open 3's when she could.  It was her best game and the first time she has looked like she did last year.

Overall, it was the best they have played and I think Coach Mitchell may have figured out how to fit all the parts together.

We will have to see, almost anything will work against a very poor team like Xavier of NO.    Not starting your best players seems suspect.  McDowell looks like a player based on her play thus far, she should get starter minutes.

Xavier (LA).

I think the starting lineup against Xavier was an opportunity to take some of the pressure off some of our freshman and rest George against an inferior opponent. The good news is that Jackson and Boyd found their offensive game a little in the second half and hopefully they can build on that going forward. I love McDowell's game, she could be a special player for us in the future. Jones has a sweet looking shot, hopefully she gains some confidence from her performance.

McDowell and George are the building blocks on this team. If they can hit their shots, and not rely on George so much this season is looking kinda bright
