Well, it was fun beating PSU and getting to today

[jalidanefan]

Great effort and I enjoyed some genuinely quality bball. TY Lady Danes.

12 missed free throws certainly didn't help..but the 33 turnovers..yikes. 10 from Royals alone. WKU had 23 of their own.

[uofalbany]

Unforced, careless turnovers? Or was it WKU's pressure?

[DanesRGood]

Nice run by the ladies! Congrats on the good tourney.

Disappointing, but hopefully the year will still be a success.

 

The men could beat the Highlanders but the women couldn't beat the Hilltoppers?

The one thing this team is still searching for is the 3 ball. Coughlin has been looked to for that, but going 0-3 from downtown in limited minutes puts the team at a disadvantage when trying to come back. From the stat sheet, Margarita only took one shot. Last year their 3-point ball was the and-1, and its looking similar this year. They still figure to be a very strong team, but sometimes you just need to be able to get down the court and feel confident that you can hit a quick 3 to get back into the game. Nevertheless, a big win vs. Penn St., and I personally think this game might have seen a different result if it were played at home. On to the rest of the season!

I agreed at the time with this, but didn't respond.

Yes, one of this team's flaws is that it only has one designated "sharpshooter", and that shooter isn't shooting that sharp.

It also seems that Royals is having trouble protecting the ball so far this year, and Coach Abe is losing faith in her (she has already lost her starting assignment.)

Throw in the fact that the roster number is small (11), with one obligatory redshirt transfer, and there are definitely some issues to address.

Coach Abe spoke highly of Bose before the season but so far she has not contributed.

 

Still, Shereesha is Shereesha, Imani seems to be developing well, and as a true freshman Tiana-Jo is filling the void left from Megan's departure. With some expected good coaching let's hope there are less issues later in the year.
