Final Four vs LSU

The Ladies play LSU tonight in their first final four appearance ever. LSU was the 3 seed in the Greenville 2 region. VT was the 1 seed in Seattle 3 region. In the last ranking LSU was #9, the Hokies #4. LSU is favored by 2 points with the over/under at 133.5. The game will be on ESPN at 7 PM; also on ESPN2 with Sue Bird and Dianna Taurasi providing commentary. Both channels start the evening with a pregame show at 6PM. The game is at American Airlines Center in Dallas, capacity 19,200. The cheapest tickets are $212; close to the court are over $3000. Plenty of seats still available in all price ranges.

LSU is 32-2 with losses to South Carolina on Feb 12 by 24 and Tennessee in the SEC tournament on Mar 4 by 2. They have victories over #24 Tennessee, RV Ole Miss during the season and #8 Utah in the NCAA Tournament. I think our schedule was tougher. We beat Tennessee 2 times, #20 UNC(twice), RV Louisville (twice), #13 Duke(twice), and RV NC State(twice), FSU, and S. Dakota State. And #12 Ohio State to win our region.

The LSU roster will be a matchup problem for the Hokies. They start 6'3" Angel Reese and 6'4" LsDazhia Williams. It will be interesting to see how the Hokies defend those two. LSU has gone 8 deep into their roster the last two games. Angel Reese fouled out of both games.

LSU has three starters scoring in double digits and a fourth at 9.4 ppg. Reese is the primary threat at 23.2 ppg. Poole at 43% from three and Morris and Johnson at 34% are threats from beyond the arc. However against Miami they were 1 for 12 from three and against Utah, they were only 3 for 12. They only shot 30% overall against Miami and only 41% against Utah. On the season, they have won the rebound battle by 16. They outrebounded Miami by 14 and Utah by 4. They beat Miami by 12 and Utah by 3.


Fouls could be a big factor in this game. We don't have the bench to lose a lot of players to foul trouble. And we will probably have Soule guarding a much taller player. On the other hand LSU has shown a tendency to have foul problems in their last two games.

In the Miami game, LSU was called for 17 fouls and Miami for 24. Miami finished the game with 3 players with 4 fouls and 3 players with 3 fouls. For LSU Reese fouled out and Williams finished the game with 4 fouls. We don't have the bench to handle that level of fouling. In the Utah game LSU had 22 fouls and Utah had 19. Utah had one player foul out; for LSU, Reese, Poole, and Johnson fouled out. Let's hope we can keep most of our players on the court for most of the game.

Kitley will probably see less double and tripe teaming this game, since LSU has the two bigs to defend her. If she can play well against those two, the Hokies should have a good chance to advance. Our shooters from beyond the arc need to be on their game to keep LSU from sagging down to prevent the pass to Liz. King and Amoore hitting from three could open this game up for the Hokies. And if Traylor and Gregg could add a little offense, this game could go very well and Kitley could add another double double to her resume.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
