After starting the season beating Duquesne and a few puff pastries, the women now have been blown out in three straight games against De Paul, Maryland and Illinois. Only Maryland is ranked. All 3 games were effectively over by halftime.
Lance White has had plenty of time to turn the program around and hadn’t done it. They do kick the ball out a little more often to a 3-point shooter, but other than that there seems to be no organized half court offense. No screens; no picks; no set plays. He has been giving the 3 freshmen more PT recently but it hasn’t changed things. I thought maybe the local PG might give them a semblance of organization out there, but she really isn’t playing PG. Her teammates don’t look for her and give her a chance to set things up in the half court game. She really is a second SG out there, looking for 3s.
He hasn’t recruited particularly well either. He is bringing in the same caliber of recruits he did 5 years ago. Two of the three freshmen this year basically fell into his lap. I believe they both had committed to WVU and then had their offers pulled. I think if there isn’t a significant improvement in the remaining portion of the season, he has to go.
