Women's Bball

[TheLoudestTrumpet]

 

She also hit another 3, and you could tell that Providence was taking away space from her when she got the ball up top. That can only open up more opportunities for her to drive and for others to hit. I was impressed by what I saw from Forster and Lavergene, they played solid minutes together.

I agree 100% with Forster, was very impressed, outside the foul shooting....Lavergene is way more of a work in progress for sure...

 

Once Lavergene muscles up a bit she will be a force. You can already see she has solid technique down low, (probably learning from Shereesha), and that will develop through more experience.

Women up by five with less than five left in game. Army has made up a lot of the difference in this fourth quarter.

Just got out of the men's game so if you could post a final later that would be great

[olddog71]

Women now down by only 1 (was 6 a minute ago) with just seconds left in the third quarter.

[olddog71]

Women lost by 3 to Army. They racked up 14 fouls versus 9 committed by Army in second half. Army outscored UA in second half 46-32.

So what's up with Tiana Jo-Carter?

So what's up with Tiana Jo-Carter?

 

From after the win against Providence:

 

"UAlbany played the second consecutive game without forward Tiana-Jo Carter. She is statistically the third-best scorer (11.7) and top rebounder (8.0). All the coach would say is that she's injured and 'she'll be fine.'"

So what's up with Tiana Jo-Carter?

She is injured. Edwards and Fequiere are hurt as well, but they were in warmups at the game. Anyway, I was up at West Point on Saturday, and foul trouble really hurt them. Also, they had issues boxing out on the inside, and there were too many times where they played 25-27 seconds of good defense and gave up a foul at the end of the shot clock. Army also had a player go 6-6 from 3. That didn't help. Also, I am no 0-4 on the road (outside of Siena games) when I go to see the team play. They have to win at some point, right?

Landed a little funny on her ankle and was noticeably limping...it looked like it could have been that prior injury that Coach Abe is very secretive about...
