UMass game

[jaburr91]

Heard on pre-game that Scaife is out with a leg injury -- carry over from VCU game.

At the time, I thought it was "only" a muscle cramp.

Green described it as "tweaked".

Wilmoth gets the start in Scaife's absence.

[jaburr91]

Dayton leads 22-11 after first quarter.

Burdette with 6 points.
Cannatelli with 6 points.
Harris with 6 points, 9 rebounds (!!).

[jack72]

Neither team shooting well, but Harris now with 10 rebounds, 6 offensive.

Dayton leads 39-27 at halftime.

Burdette with 6 pts, 4 ast, 4 reb
Cannatelli with 15 pts
Harris with 10 pts, 11 reb
Wilmoth with 6 pts

[jack72]

Layfield with only 2 pts and 2 rebounds. Cannatelli has her shot back, 4-8 on threes.

[jack72]

Cannatelli lighting it up with 21. Layfield now with 6 and 8.

[jack72]

Layfield ends with 12 pts and 17 rebounds. Meanwhile Harris got one rebound after the first quarter.

[jaburr91]

Phillips with 7 reb too -- but also 1/9 shooting.

Noteable stats -

Only 7 turnovers. Outstanding!
Layfield's 17 boards came in only 27 minutes of court time
We had zero fast break points. Ouch.
We only had 6 bench points. Nothing new there.
The bench shot 3-20 from the field - 15% - not good at all
With Scaife out- Wilmoth played 32 minutes - probably her most ever

Around the league-

GDub beat GMU tonight - a bit of a surprise. We are at GDub on Sunday at noon on ESPNU.

I posted a link to this quote in another thread but it compliments your observation so I'll include it here:

Third in her conference but fourth nationally in rebounding (the A-10 has some rebounders), JaVonna Layfield totaled 18 points and 17 rebounds against the Dukes. She's the only player in the top 15 nationally in rebounding who is listed at shorter than 6 feet, and one of only three such players averaging double-digit rebounds per game.
