Yes, Oregon has the best coach & players money can buy. But in terms of coach we're right there with them — & our top players compare to their top dawgs. It was no accident we were right there with them — but man, we had some players just not willing to seize that dagger & thrust it home last night.

I do think we'll figure it out this season, though. Heather is finally finding a level of cutthroat in her rotations — that she's been reluctant in the past to go to. Her ability to retain players has been very encouraging, too. Obviously, she's doing a LOT of things right we don't see on the court. (That we at least don't see directly.)
