Comments:
This is another team Tech should beat easily. They only shoot 31.6% from 3; their best 3 pt shooter averages 38.2% in ACC play. And they only shoot 41.6% overall. They have been outscored by an average of 8.3 points per game and outrebounded by 4.5 per game. Their tallest player averages 4 fouls per game and three other players average over 3 fouls per game. Aggressive offense by the Hokies can probably cause BC to have serious foul trouble, if the fouls are called. We are talking about ACC refs and it's a home game for BC. If we can get Emma Guy in foul trouble, Magarity and/or Baptiste should have a big game.
Last time in the double OT game against Dickens was 7 for 14 from three. The previous game against Miami, she was 0 for 5. Good defense will be important against her.
Play like they did for 3 quarters against Pitt and this one will be easy. Avoid the slight drop off in the fourth quarter and we win going away.
Let's go out and get 2 in a row in ACC play.

Emma Guy has a hell of a stiff arm in that shot. Half expected her to have a
manbunThat's probably why she average 4 fouls per game.
If you're not watching this game, you're missing one hell of an offensive show.
Oh, so the opposite of yesterday.
Annnddd now losing by 6.
We're shooting 62.5% from three and 58% overall. And we're down by 6 at the half.
Solid away win, finished strong with the free throws
33 points in the 4th quarter alone. Regan Magarity with 30 points.
Congratulations to the Lady Hokies for their second ACC win. Louisville is up next on the tenth and would be a heck of an upset to extend their win streak to three.
Do that's what it feels like to be on the right side of a 4th quarter collapse! Way to hang in there ladies!
Holy shit, do I feel bad... I turned it off late in the 3rd when we were down 16, since we'd been blowing all the 4th quarter leads, and I figured it was over.
Just checked the score, and wow. Way to go, huge comeback victory for the ladies!
The Ladies finally found someone to step up in the fourth quarter. Aishia Shepard 4 for 6 from 3 and 5 for 8 overall for 14 points in the fourth quarter as the Hokies came back from 9 down in the quarter. And that's after Mabrey nailed a 3 from half court at then end of the third to get from 12 to 9. Maybe this is the spark they need to play well the rest of the way.
The 4 Q was a show.
Fun to watch that one.
So our WBB team scored more points in a quarter than NCSU MBB scored an entire game.
Two quarters: 27 in the first and 33 in the fourth.
