maybe the worst thing that ever happened was that she made one of those fall aways. Now she thinks it's part of her arsenal.
I'm being harsh on Betts - but it's more about the situation Close has put her in. Betts is the most unstoppable player in the country one on one. Teams (except OSU) aren't going to give her that. So now we adjust. If we don't adjust, we could go out as early as the elite 8. Right now, we have 2 options: Betts, and someone gets hot from 3. Jones has about a 1 in 4 chance of being that player. Gardiner has been cold for a month. No one else takes many 3's. So, we need to adjust. Betts can deal. Let's use it.
