This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agreed. We ranked 11th the ACC in terms of 3 pt fg%. at by MountainMan
30.7 percent, yet we still ended up winning the ACC? That was exacerbated when Dara went down, even though she was shooting considerably below her normal level. As some benchers stated the threat of her getting hot, at least kept defenders from sagging into the lane.
My take was, obviously the injuries, youth (Two freshman playing extensive minutes, lack of quality depth. No back up true point guard other than Jenna, who did not perform well enough to earn the role.). No "prolific" three point shooter, once Dara went down.
In my opinion, with a healthy Dara who had recovered her shooting percentage and Liv, an elite eight goal would have been obtainable and perhaps exoected,
