You're absolutely right about their 4th quarter play. They've had so many games against good teams where they had a chance to win, but collapsed in the 4th.
Last night was a perfect example. Troup hit a 3 with about 5 minutes left to tie the game at 71. I think we'd hit 4 out of our last 5 at that point. From then on we hit one out of ten.
I too have been very mixed on Dickson. If she will start playing more for the team and less for Shug, she has the skill and temperament to become a terrific player, if she returns next year. But she has played some of her worst BB in those closing minute collapses. She seems to become an even worse ballhog when the game is on the line.
They're going to be very heavy on guards and wings next year. Robin needs to go out and find a post player, unless incoming freshman Trusty is the real thing, which is unlikely.
