WBB vs Pitt

The Ladies take on Pitt tonight at 7PM in Cassell Coliseum. The game is an ACCNx game. On paper this does not look like a challenge for the Hokies. Pitt is 3-11, 0-3 ACC with losses to UNC, Notre Dame, and BC.

Pitt starts 4 guards and a 6'4" center. Three of the guards are listed at 5'7"; the fourth is 6'0". They start 2 Fr, 2 Jr and a 5th year Sr. Amber Brown was named ACC Player of the week for the second time this year last week. Green is their best 3pt shooter at 50% on 9 of 18. They play 9 players in most games and three of the players that come off the bench are 6'2", 6'4" and 6'4"; so they can have some height in the game.

Pitt is shooting 34% overall and 31% from 3 in ACC games. The have been out-rebounded slightly, 1.5 per game. They have 1 more TO than Assist per game in ACC play. Almost every player averages 2-3 PF per game in ACC play. Pitt has allowed opponents to shoot 40% overall and 38% from 3.

Stats for the stats guys:

As I said above this game does not look like a challenge for the Ladies. Coach Brooks may have the opportunity to experiment with line-ups and get some players experience playing against ACC level competition. I am not sure whether Obouh Fegue wil play tonight; but she is supposed to be back this week. I hope the Hokies do take this game seriously because any team in this league can surprise you if you take them lightly.

Go Hokies!
