VCU Game
Our defense not good early, as VCU has driven to the basket at will.

End of first and down a bunch, 22-15. We shot 3-13 from two point range. Magassa continues her drought. Giacone and Whalen way off on easy shots. Our defense was terrible. They dribble drive and pick on every play and our switches are late or non-existent.
Giacone with two fouls, and that is huge.

Great coaching by Green. She goes to a zone in the second quarter, which completely stops the dribble drive and confuses VCU. Now Perez gets in the wrong place in the offense, and she immediately pulls her, and rips her a new one.

Flyers finally bringing their A game defense, as they hold VCU to 3-11 shooting in the third quarter.
Meanwhile we are shooting 46% and 46% on threes and winning rebounds.

Bradshaw on a down hill break away for a layup and Green calls timeout. She knew she blew it, as she laughed.
Our fouling is killing us. VCU has made 14-16 free throws. We are 7-7.

How long does Whalen sit with four fouls? Need someone to step up and make a bucket.

Whalen is such a good shooter, but is brain dead on other aspects of the game. She fouls the VCU player away from the ball on a stupid push with 8 seconds left. Won't matter, but c'mon senior.

So big today defense on Taya Robinson only 5-16 from the field. Side note , the team chasing Dayton with two conference losses is Fordham. They are on pause 14 days which is rest of regular season so ud won’t be playing there in two weeks.

It's sad for Fordham WBB since the pause is not related to a team/tier 1 case.

Whalen took a spill towards the end of the game and came out. Looked like her right knee was being iced and wrapped.

Slow start but we didnt panic and got the game back to a 20-minute game by halftime. Whalen was clutch with the trifecta. She's a quality catch-and-shoot piece, but is a major liability when putting it on the floor -- whether trying to handle the ball, create her own shot, or shoot off the dribble with a couple bounces. Its a turnover waiting to happen. Giacone is much more secure with the rock when moving with the rock.
Huge dry spell in that 4th quarter but we built just enough of a lead to hold on. Glad the game wasnt 5 minutes longer. VCU hit two treys and a nice deuce to claw back in. We had a bevy of unforced TOs including that terrible backcourt one when Whalen had the ball. We need to know that ball needs to be in the hands of the guards.
Magassa would instantly double or triple her scoring output if she just made her layups. Its getting to be a recurring theme to see her miss 3-5 point blank chippies a game. She's got the height and weight on everybody in this league -- but doesnt have the experience yet. My hope is over time all those eventually drop. When you look at the top teams in the country, they dont miss layups. If they get an open uncontested 3ft shot or stick-back, its 2pts. We just do these small things and we'll improve our position quite a lot.
Still, an important win that puts distance on VCU to the point where they may now be effectively out of the running for a regular season title. With Fordham on pause, who knows how this is going to shake out in the last couple weeks. We're in a good spot, but we need to beat Sloo again.
Our NET is in the 50s. Not really at-large territory. The pandemic has screwed up nationwide schedules so much its going to be hard to pick an at-large field. I think a lot of it will be eye test and disregarding number of games played. Dayton has a great record, but our SOS is super soft and we've only beaten 2 teams with a winning record all year. Part of that was not our fault -- we had that stretch of 5-6 games that were canceled -- foes like CMU and Florida that would have provided some additional help. But I think the tea leaves say its A10 Tourney or bust.
This group has been in quite a few close games this year but have managed to get the Ws.
I know UD loves to push tempo but when we're up 9-10pts with 5-6min left, Id like to see us run some clock too. We dont need to be taking transition threes with 25s on the shot clock.

Assuming no games are added in the A10, UD has wrapped up the regular season, as the worst they can do is 11-2 with an .846 winning percentage. Fordham would be at .800.
Congrats to the ladies, the best basketball team on campus this year!

In the DDN write up Green says the A10 could add a mid-week game but that was post game before the Fordham pause news.

This is not related to the VCU game. Watching Oregon and junior Taylor Mikesell. Anyone know if UD had a chance at her actually two chances after leaving Maryland. Love her three point range.
