The crowd's keen interest in women's hoops must have been dulled by the excellent beef tenderloin and the open bar.  No one asked a question of Tara after her prepared remarks.  She did say that she has been picking the brain of Mark Madsen (who was in attendance) to get ideas.  Not sure if she is looking for help with offense, defense or both.

But her explicit words were that next season is a big challenge.  Tara does not know where the points will come from.  She does not know where the leadership will come from.  Not sure where the inside toughness will come from.  We are likely to see a lot of different players and looks in the non-conference games as the coaches try to find a winning rotation.

The coaches are very circumspect at events like these to comment about recruits who have not already signed.  They realize that nothing is off the record.  I'll post notes from the other coaches in a separate thread.
