I got home to check the boxscore, and found to my shock that we lost, 61-58. Santa Clara was pulverized 100-55 by Washington and 81-46 by U.SC. We beat them 82-43 last year.
Someone who was there, please, please, tell us what happened. Saturday we did so well against an excellent team, and today we seem to have disintegrated against a really inferior team.
I see we had 26 turnovers to their 13. Lili had 6 turnovers, Britt, Marta, and Bri had 4 each. That sounds like the difference.
I also see we shot only 59% of our free throws, compared to over 80% just on Saturday. That was a big difference, it seems.
Santa Clara was only 1/16 from three, while we were 10/32. It sounds like they played a tight zone and dared us to shoot treys, and perhaps we lost the ball often trying to pass it inside?
It looks like Lili took twice as many shots as anyone else, and did reasonably well, but she was our only consistent offense?
