Gotta play good defense

Hokies up 2 at the first timeout

I don't watch womens bball. If we are playing the best 3 pt shooting team, why are we playing so far off them and so lazy to contest their shots?

Both teams missing layups but we're keeping up with minimal threes

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Hokies hanging on to a 1 pt lead at the half.

This is a very cool clash of styles, but also I hate it, because of the 3+3+3 is more than 2+2+2+2 thing.

We look like the better more complete team, just some ugly possessions in the 2nd Q

6 turnovers to 1... oof

I do art stuff.

Have to watch on the extra screen at work. They shoot a lot of three, but are above their average. Kitley missing a few she normally would not. Maybe hung over from the shoulder injury. We need her to get back to were she left off, or someone else to pick it up on defense.

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

Wow, USCe women up 52-8 on Howard

That is like a High School game score.

Kitley gets position but either no entry feed or a bad one it seems.

Kitley can't buy one. Defense falling apart. Should have taken the timeout earlier......

This ain't looking good

They ought to tighten up. FGCU looks like they want it more at the moment.

Amoore really needs to work on using screens. She doesn't attack the hip of the screener and her defender has plenty of room to stay on her.

Defense is looking slow and not doing well with communication on screens. FGC taking it to us with very good offensive action to attack that weakness.

Brooks is currently being out coached. Let's see what happens after the timeout.

Not sure I can take two of these today. Need to pull away here or blow out Tejas.

Can't leave wide open 3 point shooters all game long, make zero adjustments, and expect to win. Not that VT controls any part of it but FGCU only being a 12 seed is an absolute joke

Needed to take something at Bell. Let Barnes take it to the hoop on her.
Badly out coached.
Disappointing.
They are better than a 12 seed, but we would have won with better coaching.

First women's game I've watched and I agree with the general sentiment that we were unable to adjust our defensive style over the course of the game. Do we ever play zone? Why not go to a 3-2 zone with Kitley down low cleaning up the glass? Frustrating.

I was screaming for a zone. This game made me more furious then the men's game. Totally winnable. We played the team making the most threes in the country and went man with our big trying to stretch out and cover. Should have been a zone with 4 defenders on the arc and Kitley high in the paint.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Completely out-coached and there's really no other reason we lost this game
