At the half it is TOSU 46 Stanford 40.
McPhee made a half court trey at the buzzer or it would be worse. She already has 17.
Our offense slowed down some in the 2nd quarter. Smith missed a couple of layups. One nice thing--Jerome made a trey and a two showing that this freshman can play. Vanderveer has played 11.
Our big issue is the failure to box out and prevent TOSU from getting O-boards. They have 13 to our 4. Also problematic is our inability to stop their treys. They have 7 of 18 compared with our 2/5. TOSU getting O-boards and treys more than accounts for their lead.
The announcers said we were sometimes playing a match-up zone. Perhaps that accounts for some of the rebounding problems. Sniezek is actually leading our rebounding with 5.
All that said, we are playing so much better than the exhibition. McPhee is a joy to watch. We need better rebounding and a few putbacks from Smith to get into this game again.
Something to watch--TOSU has only 11 on the roster. Three of their starters have 2 fouls. If the refs call this close we should have the edge in the second half.
