She has made 45 of her 65 attempts. Jackson has shot 7 for 9 from the field in each of her last two games. She was an All-Big-12 Defensive member last year and already has 18 blocks in seven games.Two consecutive games hitting at least 50% from the field puts Loville back in the shooting rhythm.
"Defensively, what we have to do is don't allow easy fast break points, number one. Number two don’t allow easy post touches and starting to get the chemistry in the sense that we need to play like five on guarding the ball not losing the individual responsibility. Be ready to help on their drives, to rotate and to help the helper. Maybe we need to rotate even multiple times. I believe these are the keys for us to have a great game and to keep improving.
“Seeing games on TV, seeing the success and being able to see the great culture Adia has built and reviving the program, I think it's exciting opportunity,” Nooner said.Barnes started the"Go Beyond" program to reward players each week.
