It's called terrible reffing, there was total inconsistency in the calls, Chineys was not a charge and Ambers was not a block. The weakest part of our D was not the perimeter as we were being called so you have to channel, it was our weakside help that was not there to cut it off as they were not going to kick very well just go for the hoop. That will be shored up by next game. Sara James cannot play as she fouls, look at her minutes and she picked up 2 fouls, 1 running back on D!!!!
It was 1 of those games that you needed to grind out as when you cannot read the refs you have to play really smart.
As an add on, I liked the double on Lia as she is not going to pass I just thought it was too far away from the basket, let her get in the arc and then double. We also need to run more zone as we clearly are not used to it and it will help us down the road, the 3s in the corner were due to Chiney over playing on the wing, she needs to hedge but not commit and stay on the low side so the guard moves over and then she can also cover the corner. I would love to see a 3 2 match up zone, they are difficult for any team to figure out and we have the length to take a step off and still alter the shot but be able to double the driver.
