I am no Lt Peterson; but I did tabulate some data from Alabama's first three games. I have not watched film; so these comments are based on the stats and are at best guesses. Anyone is welcome to correct any mistakes.
They are not a 3pt shooting team. Starters made 27 attempts in 3 games; subs only 6.
They are a relatively tall team: only 1 starter under 6 foot and only one sub under 6 foot. The ladies need to make their shots because there won't be many offensive rebounds. They will need to get position and block out on defense to keep Alabama off the boards. Looks like Bama is mostly an inside team; the ladies are going to have to work hard to deny the ball to Willaims and Cook especially. The FG percentage indicates a lot of layups. The other scorer of the starters is Lewis, who plays a lot of minutes and gets a lot of assists. I am guessing that she drives and dishes a lot.
The subs don't score a lot; but all of their scoring is from inside the arc. Only one 3 pt shot made from the group in three games..
This could be a tough game for VT if we can't make some shots from outside. I don't see us having a lot of success inside against Bama's height. Magarity and Berry are going to have to play well to hold their own in this game. We can win this one; Georgia Tech was leading until the very end when they went cold.
Let Go!
Hokies!

LET'S GO!!! (Assuming weather doesn't cause the game to be cancelled)
HOKIES!!!
Speaking of weather, how are the roads coming up 81 from TN? Google maps shows 81 south of C'burg basically stopped to crawling.
What's the line?
What a great look, stopping play because the roof is leaking in cassell...
Oomph. I'm sure Babcock will get right on that though. That's embarrassing
Yeah...not really anything he can do. That's on the facilities crew for not running the fans yesterday during the snow. But I've heard around a foot so that would probably be enough for it to build up and leak anyway.
Justin Fuente sighting?
Is that the same camera you used to get that photo of the sasquatch last winter? :-P
Good to see Head Hokie supporting other Hokie sports. Very Beamer like
Someone get Coach a milkshake.
He's going to have to wait until he has grandkids to steal them from
That's great! Now where's Buzz and the rest of the team??
bama up 37-36 at the half. We built a 10pt lead at 21-31, but couldn't seem to figure out how to beat their press/trap and they got a bunch of stops followed by easy baskets by their bigs. Hope we have better answers the second half.
Got her done. 74-67, good guys.
Aaaannnnnd, we got 'em! Well done, ladies.
Way to go Hokies!!!
Congrats to the Lady Hokies for making the final four of the WNIT!
Go Hokies!
If St. John's can beat WVU then there's a good chance we'll be at home again.
Not looking too hot. St. John's down 11 with 6 minutes left
