Lots of good thoughts above. OSU is a good shooting, good passing, and good screening team. Seemed like their screens were mostly solid, not moving stuff we sometimes see teams do. That said, they are not fast, don't rebound all that well, all things considered, and if they are not shooting threes well, they will have a hard time. They are not a disruptive defensive team either, though their Jones inside is a pretty good rim defender.
First half we shot great but our defense was not great. As noted above, Tara adjusted to cover their shooters better and let their drivers try it, and it was no problem after that, really. Well, not a big problem - it took a while to build the big lead.
I wonder what was up with Fran? Not feeling well so tried to hold her out or a minor ding and same thing, but with Cameron's foul trouble she was needed??? I was very glad to see her able to play. Hope Ashten is available on Monday too.
Good job Alyssa on offense!!! Nice to see her score like that. She is not a good post defender or rebounder though, which hurt for a while.
Hayley started not so great, but had a really great second half. When she is on, this is a whole different team.
Kiana has been playing much more consistently great lately. Her shot has been much better and she just looks peppier. Nice game by her, offense and defense both, once we got the D sorted.
Anna always brings her defense. So many on ball screens by OSU to fight around.
Hannah had a very nice game. She is now able to defend one-on-one pretty darn well unless the opponent is hyper quick, which OSU gaurds are not.
Not the best game for either Hull, but that's ok, onward to Monday.
