WBB vs. Washington State

Most teams have at least 1-2 players who prove themselves as double digit shooters, most all of the time. If they are not open, they create shots, I just don't see this with the LGriz....yet.

Libby Stump does a fairly decent job of creating her own shot, if you will call it that. Dribble penetrate with a pull-up fade away jump shot, averaging nearly nine points a game coming off the bench.

Ok, preseason moves onward, the usual mix of big/small school competition. We have a lot of talent banked up, and this team should look good for conference play. But one thing must change, and is a question for me. Just my opinion, we do not have consistent high scorers (other than Gfeller). Is this talent, coaching, or what? Most teams have at least 1-2 players who prove themselves as double digit shooters, most all of the time. If they are not open, they create shots, I just don't see this with the LGriz....yet.

Fatkin and Marxen are very capable of stepping up as consistent high scorers. Marxen is shooting 30% from the floor and Fatkin 39% -- those numbers both the have potential to improve a lot IMO.

Lady Griz have played a pretty tough schedule thus far -- average opponent NET ranking is 116 (second in the Big Sky) and still have NET #20 on the schedule. Two losses to Wichita and NDSU are killers.

Right now Sac State and Montana State are probably the best two teams in the Big Sky. With the talent the Lady Griz have, they'll definitely continue to improve.

Seems like E Wash should be up there in the top BSC teams too. They won against some good competition, and their 2 losses are to good teams.
