GAME DAY! Ya gotta love it.
Leaving Dallas at 8 am, picking up Mrs Russdawg in Haughton, on to Ruston for the game. Really need to get this one and move up from lower tier into mid pack.
GO LADY TECHSTERS!
If this team is to amount to anything this year, this is the kind of game they have to win. UAB is good...start 5 seniors! (probably all 25+ years old)...and they have owned us in Ruston (4-1 all time). But it is our home floor and this Techster team NEEDS a good win. Defend the arc! Oh, and make our FTs.
UAB 32-31 at half. We're 1 for 7 threes, scoring well inside
Down 55-45 after 3rd
Now down 66-46 with 5 minutes to go.
It may be time to move on from Brooke
Pathetic...
71-51 UAB final
Scored just 6 pts in the 4th qtr. A girls' 5th grade team could have done that today.
How do we go from beating MTSU convincingly to getting wrecked like we did today?
Easy to see which is the outlier I guess.
We're tied with Marshall and UTSA for spots 11, 12, 13 in CUSA, with UTSA having an edge for beating us
When we're hot we're hot, when we're not we're not. In our four home conference games, we beat two of the top 4 (UTEP, MTSU) shooting threes well: 11/22 and 12/20.respectively. In the two losses (UTSA and UAB) threes were 6/23 and 4/17. We'd been hitting 80% free throws in these, but against UAB only hit 3/12 after making the first 6. Good first half defense against UAB, everything collapsed in 2nd half.
GOTTA LOOK AHEAD AND MOVE ON. ANY OF THE NEXT FOUR ARE WINNABLE.
HOWEVER:
* Three of the next four already beat UAB!! Charlotte, WKU, Marshall.
* The other, ODU, is 6-1 in conference.
I like our ladies, their personalities, approachableness, character. I like Brooke as the face of our program and the academics/quality character she provides.
But we gotta win more.
