The Lady Hokies play Gardner Webb at 2PM Sunday Dec 6 at Cassell. The game is on ACCNx. Gardner Webb is 0-3 with losses to Elon 60-88, Auburn 61-97 and Richmond 73-85. The Hokies beat Richmond in the season opener 85-64. Don't expect this game to be much of a challenge; but this is the last easy game, ACC schedule starts Thursday against Pitt at 6PM in Cassell.

GW season stats:
Another scrimmage for the Hokies. GW only shooting 33.7% overall and 24.7% from 3. Getting out rebounded on the season and 3:1 turnover to assist ration. We'll will probably try to ensure Kitley gets her fifth double-double and play everyone on the roster. The real season starts Thursday against Pitt.
Comments
I know its ludicrous but I almost wish Brooks would sit Kitley the entire game. I worry how this team holds up in any scenario where Kitley isnt playing. The last few games when she wasnt on the floor, the Hokies played closer to even with their opponents. This isnt good based on the level of those opponents.
I would rather he tell her she can't shoot; she has to look for assists this game. Get her double-double with rebounds and assists. Or get the triple double with those two and points.
Great, another game my crappy wifi won't let me see. I hate seeing ACCNX on the schedule.
Handling GW easily; up 37-23 at the half. But they are playing ugly with 12 turnovers. Kitley has her double-double already. They are going to have to tighten up their game starting next week. If they are this sloppy on offense and defense, they aren't going to win in the ACC.
Welp I think Kenny got after them at halftime
