Indianapolis thread
They played an exhibition Sunday at Vanderbilt and lost by 30 but were only down five at half. They had a problem trying to guard a 6'5 post player. They were 12 of 23 from the three point stripe. Lost four seniors from last year I believe including a young lady who averaged 22 PPG and transferred there from IUPUI. I don't know about tv for this one but if you're not going and can put up with me for two hours listen at www.1610.info.

There is no tv even on DaytonFlyers.com which seems quite odd.

Exhibition games have never been streamed as far as I can remember. ESPN Plus did have the game listed, but have since removed it from their schedule.

So how does everyone feel about ESPN Plus for most TV?

I like ESPN Plus taking the place of A10 Network. Price is cheaper per month and the games are archived on ESPN (which A10 did not do) I attend home games so I use it for away games. Dayton streamed for free but it was away games that I was interested in and most schools charged. I joined in September and have been using it to watch Soccer and Volleyball away games. I am getting my money's worth.

Men's exhibitions have been streamed for a long time.

Only an exhibition and a lot of experimentation but we were hardly sharp tonight. Chandler looks really, really good. Bradshaw has a good motor and can penetrate. Jayla is an all conference player. Lauren is a good role player as an outstanding spot up shooter. Whitehead is young but looks like she will be a good player in time. Fowler looks like a juco player, fires up a lot of shots and sloppy with the ball. Wilmouth may have gotten even softer over the summer, very disappointing. Ward showed some signs of life, but nothing like the 5 star she was supposed to be out of HS. Phillips, meh. Dennis and Parkinson are the same, sadly. Skeens, Davidson and Sabo got only a mop up minute. We rebounded well, played terribly weak on defense. Turnovers were controlled, Fowler had half of them. Couldn't get to the line.

A couple of additional thoughts:
Refs let em play tonight - which was fine and the same on both ends. Only 10 free throws between the 2 teams. Still, somewhat indicative of the bigs underneath shying away from contact. They need to embrace the contact and not back off. Too often the bigs were throwing up awkward off-balance shots as they tried to avoid contact - and that led to a poor shooting percentage. Chandler was the one exception. She showed a nice outside touch as well as the ability to finish inside.
The other observation is the refusal by nearly everybody - except Chandler - to use the weak hand when appropriate to finish inside. Invariably, the guards especially, would want to move the ball to the right hand - even when finishing on the left. Need to use that off hand to avoid getting the shot blocked or stripped.
Shauna will have a real challenge deciding who gets PT with all the available bodies.
Games for real start a week from tomorrow.

Biggest disappointment from reading the above is that Ward is not in top shape and form. I hope she has at least shed some of the excess weight from last year. The second, is that Skeens barely played. I hoped she would be an immediate top player on a team with only two top players.

I wouldn't read much into Skeens not playing much last night - I don't expect her to play much through non conference, remember it was either Hoover or Mallott who only played nine minutes in their freshman opener.

Sounds like the reports of Ward's problems may be overstated. Now that the stats are out, she did pretty well. In only 16 minutes she had 5 points and 7 team leading rebounds. I will take that projected out to about 25-30 minutes of playing time.
