All of their players with significant minutes shoot well over all and shoot well from 3. They win the rebound battle by an average of almost 10 per game. This will be a tough game for the ladies. If they have 20+ turnovers in this game like they had in the last two, they may get run off the court.

LET'S GO
HOKIES!
Game will be on AT&T Sprorts Pittsburgh.
Watched a good bit of this game. Unfortunately I think this is going to look like a lot of Brooks' seasons where they feast on non conference teams and struggle to the bottom half finish.
Didn't watch, but I would hope this is just a result of running into a really good FSU team, instead of what we've seen the last couple seasons.
FSU is a very good team. But the Hokies can play with them. Unfortunately they don't really have a playmaker if the threes are not dropping. Not impressed with Cole as PG. She can hit the open player for the three; but she really doesn't create offense. I would rather see Mabrey at PG. Also disappointed in the use of Kitley. She can be a scoring machine inside; but they don't try to get the ball to her. Today and in other games, she seems to get the ball out past the foul line a lot. She is no threat there. I think our best five would be Mabrey, Kitley, Rivers, Shepherd and Baptiste.
