I have gone back and watched the last few minutes of the first half and Reese was guarding Shumate. That doesn’t seem like a good matchup for us because it draws Reese out on the perimeter and not under the goal to get rebounds.

It's not a good matchup but Kent St is pretty small across the board and Shumate is their leading rebounder. She's pretty much an undersized stretch big for them.

So I don’t know. Maybe it was just Mulkey saying “your defense is terrible.” But I don’t recall Shaq ever being tasked with trying to stop Allen Houston from shooting 3s, so I’m not sure why we want Angel chasing ball handlers out past the 3 point line.

People play pick and roll at the top of the key now and if they have a stretch big you gotta get out on them. She's gonna have to step out from under the basket on Kitley when we play Va Tech.
And again, I'm not saying this is solely an Angel issue. I'm saying through her is the best way to send the message to all of them. And if you think Mulkey isn't sending messages to them, Poole didn't play a second.
