One star does not make a team and you are only as strong as your weakest player. I have been in teams that have struggled and we had some really good players and a few that sucked.

I was on football (soccer) teams in the past where we had 2 or 3 really fantastic players and everyone else on the team was pretty terrible. You cannot win games like this and these teams did score a lot of goals but eventually those 3 stars get tired or have to pass the ball to one of the other guys that is likely going to do something stupid with it. The whole team needs to gel, or otherwise victory will go to a team where everyone on the team is "average."
I can imagine you would get tired of having to carry the team every week. The week you do not perform you lose and that would seriously suck.
In her final game she was connected to more than 50% of the points score by her team either by scoring them herself, or by having the assist. She started the game off with a swish 3-pointer and continued to excel the entire game. The Indiana coach made some bad decisions late in the game and didn't involve Caitlin in some crucial plays.
The rest of her team is pretty solid as well but I think some changes are necessary for next year if they want to improve, which I am sure they will. They are a relatively young team and as long as they can keep the players in house, they will only get better.
