Discuss it here.
Brooke needs to figure out why this team continues to start games so slowly. In this game against UTSA, the Lady Techsters only scored 5 points in the 1st qtr. They also only scored 8 points in the 1st qtr of a game they won against WKU last week. And you can see from my post above (on 1/03/2021) that the Techsters only scored 8 pts in the 1st qtr against Marshall in a game the previous week.Quote:

Totally agree! We are a VERY streaky team and the streaks never come at the beginning. I am happy that we fight till the end and pull some of these out, but something has to be figured out about the starts we have. We won't be able to come back on the stronger teams.Quote:

I do agree that the strong finish is the most important IF you aren't too far down. My choice would be get up on them early and keep them down, though. Same for our men.Quote:

7 of 13 from the FT line and a bunch of silly turnovers. Luckily, UTSA sucks big time.Quote:

Better 2nd half, still just 67% from the FT line and finished with 19 TOs. Did shoot 58% from the floor, which is good any night.Quote:
