Up next: Longwood

Post by i77cat » Wed Nov 29, 2023 7:49 pm

Saturday, 5:30, our house. Part of a double header with MBB. Longwood is 1-4. They are playing the Ohio Bobcats right now.

Longwood beat the Bobcats 76-73.

Let's not get cocky!

Non-competitive.

This team can really rebound.

We’re getting excellent minutes for our bench. 11-25 after 1. Could have done that every quarter, but there was no need.

Great win, we looked dominant for all but about a five minute stretch in the first half, and even then Longwood wasnt scoring. 83-46 was the final.

BTW - that was a win without Elle and Charlie only scored 2 points

We had 25 offensive boards, 54 total. They had 26 total. Multiple career highs today. Look at Millie Prior's line.

I stayed through the third quarter. I felt we were kind of sloppy at times and played down to the level of the opponent. I attribute this mostly to the lack of Elle on the floor to pull it together, along with a lot of different combinations on the floor and significant minutes played by everybody who was healthy. The Dayton game will give us a better idea of where we are at this point in the season.

We're definitely still figuring out how to play without Elle. Thankfully, we don't have to play without her much longer. And Eliza looks close to ready.

They must have had five offensive rebounds on their first possession. I wouldn't be too hard on them for any perceived inefficiencies after the score hit about 31-13.

One thing that seems pretty clear now is that if you're of a mind to bandwagon a sports team, this one will do.
