Yes, but we actually be better in the post. White Coates and Wilson with a really good 3 point shooter coming in.
I could be wrong, but energy did not make a wide open 8 footer that would have put us up by 3.

If we stay hungry and keep up the desire to get better, the team will be better next year. Coates and Wilson starting will make us instantly better if White can give us quality minutes. Coates and Wilson can also get better offensively by learning how to control the ball and make shots with one hand. Cuevas has begun to to make better decision she can continue that and work on her shooting. And we will still have Mitchell and Sessions. Roy Dozier and Davis. Duckett, Cliney, Colley. We're still elite next year.
Re: We're going to miss Welch's energy. *
No, but that energy got us there. The energy is important an her lack of leadership and effort on the interior will need to be made up for in some way.
We will clearly miss Aleighsa next season, but I still think we will be better. A'ja, Alaina and Tiffany will all be better and I think Jatarie will be a good one, too. Bianca will benefit from experience, too.
Yes, I believe the team will be better next season, barring injuries. Mitchell, Coates and Wilson playing max minutes together will allow the team to build better chemistry, particularly on the offensive end. I also expect the point guard play to improve. Plus, Coach Staley will continue to get better as a coach.
We have a lot of room to improve offensively. We are not a great passing or shooting team. Some of our best players like Coates can not create her own shot. Some players like Cuevas and Wilson have that ability but are novices that have already made strides but have a long ways to go. We can improve our passing and we can improve our screening and look a lot more like Notre Dame on offense with superior athletes if we commit to it. We can also improve on defense by boxing out better, not leaving so many players wide open. Getting back on defense faster. We have great athletes to put in a press defense too. We have a team that does not execute great fundamentally but is so talent their ceiling is tremendously high. Now is to time for Dawn to really push the limit of that talent the way Geno does for UConn.

This team will improve. Only problem is UConn will still be UConn. ND is young, as well as TN who adds DeShields next year. While the final 4 will be the goal, it will be very tough to get back there.
Coates and Wilson need to get stronger too imo. We get out quicked sometimes as well. Need a great shooter/ scorer like a Lloyd or DeShields to take the jump to challanging UConn. UC, ND and UT continue to load up on McDonalds AA, also UNC I think got or is getting 2-3? White I hope will play like her top 10 HS ranking, Welch will be missed for her toughness and quicks. Need a bigtime class for 2016 to stay here.
