The struggle for coach Lynne Roberts and her team is this: It’s not as if Utah doesn’t practice shooting. It’s not as though they haven’t worked on it. So what happens when the shots don’t go down?
"As a coach, I don’t think there’s a magic play," she said. "I think we can get creative and we’ve done a lot to get different people shots and get people moving. It’s hard when we’re not hitting outside shots consistently."
The big problem is a lack of an outside threat: Only Paige Crozon is hitting more than 30 percent among shooters who have taken at least 15 attempts from deep.
