As expected our players lost to ranked NCST. Despite the loss there were a number
of positive points worth noting in this game. Even with a big talent difference we hung
in there for three Qtrs. We were only down 39-35 at the half and the way the game
was played we could easily have been in the lead. Faye was scoring, having her way
inside along with made FT's. Marley was hitting to the tune of 13 at the half including
a few threes (two games in a row where she's starting to hit). Unfortunately only 3 pts
in the second half along with three airballs. I've said over and over on here that she's
an athlete...if only she could shoot. Well things maybe looking up for her. Hopefully
she keeps hitting. Miles again with a good floor game only 4 pts but also only 1 TO.
Speaking of my favorite stat.....we were much approved A/TO at 15/16. The difference?
Good college women teams do what NCST did.......20/10.

Another major difference NCST, 13-25 on their 3's for 52%, while we were 5-18 for 27%.
Watching them knock down their 3's (some contested, some wide open) I didn't just
see hot shooting, I saw REAL talent. James, Rivers and Brooks are far more talented than
anyone on our roster. Enough about them!.

Our players dont need to hang their heads after their performance last night. They have
a lot of fight and showed it. Faye has proven to be legit in this conference. She had 28 pts
and was getting manhandled physically. We have more tough ACC games coming up
against some other ranked teams. Hopefully we'll see continued improvement.
 
Only saw a bit over a quarter. When I turned it on, the announcers were talking about what a well-coached team Pitt was! I was kind of shocked to hear that but Pitt was still in the game. And they had actually scored more than 10 points each quarter…

If I remember correctly though, Pitt got zero or maybe one point from their bench. Makes it tough.
