Nice win by the ladies. Give OK St credit - they made shots. We took it away from their 2 best players and the others made us pay. Neferatali and Keys ended up in double figures. Even so, it was a good game plan as they just couldn't score enough to beat us.
- Cam made so many great plays, and tonight it was against the highest level of competition. 12 points on 6 shots, 9 boards, 5 blocks. Mack was totally frustrated. Also love that she just doesn't back down, and it was pretty physical at times. The refs clearly let both teams play (which is how it should be IMO). Zero fouls called in the entire 1st Q if I remember correctly.
- Great games by Anna and Haley. How about Haley hitting those 3's? If that becomes a thing, she is going to be unstoppable because of her mid-range and how she can get all the way to the hole.
- We had some awful TO's in the first half. All TO's count the same in the box score, but they are not the same on the court. A travelling call, 3 seconds, dribble off your foot - those turnovers stop play and let the other team set their defense. But other turnovers - like intercepted passes that go for layups, or dribble turnovers in transition, or steals right under the basket after a rebound - those are way different because 1) The other team gets an easy bucket and 2) They energize the other team. We have to take care of the ball. Those mistakes won't cost us the game against OK St, but they will cost us against better teams.
Go Card!!
p.s. Luv, luv, luv our draw opposite UConn and Baylor. I'd much rather play Louisville and S. Carolina.
