81, you're totally right. That said, when Tara can't outstrategize our way to victory against teams with 3-5 strong shooters (e.g., UConn), I'd say we just ran into a significantly better team. Even Tara can only do so much when she doesn't have the country's top players...
...which is why I'm so utterly pumped about our upward trajectory on the recruiting front; for the first time since the oughts, Tara will have the raw material to be a legitimate title contender. Think about how our 2020-21 lineup is likely to look: Seniors Williams, Dodson, and Jerome, Juniors Hull x2 + Brown, Sophomores Jones, Belibi, Prechtell, and Jump, and Frosh Brink and Van Gytenbeek. That will be so much experienced talent it's an embarrassment of riches. We'll have to worry about injuries and potential transfers, of course, but on paper that is going to be an insane lineup.
