The Ladies play the Houston Christian Huskies tonight at 6 PM. The game is on ACCNx. These early games are supposed to be almost scrimmages against lower rated teams. That looks like the case tonight.
Houston Christian does have some taller players in Matadi and Butler; but they have not played much in the first two games. Mataldi is playing less than 10 mpg; Butler 6. And they have not contributed much. The Huskies are an international team with 2 girls from Northern Ireland, 2 from Sweden, 1 from Luxembourg, and 2 from Australia.
The group that plays the most minutes is not tall with three players at 5'10 or less and 2 six footers.
For comparison, here is the Hokies roster:
Statistics aren't worth much at this stage of the season, but here they are:
And I think that's about all I have to say about this game. Everyone should get a chance to play tonight unless they are taking a redshirt.
GO HOKIES!
Comments
Amoore and Kitley are both on the watch list for the Wooden Award. Tonight's game should help both their numbers.
Taking the kiddo tonight for his first Women's BBall game. Should be a good time. LETS GO!
(Lady) HOKIES!
According to the media report, they prefer to just be called Hokies.
I fully expect a bill tonight.
Rice scored 70 on them, and they are 254th in scoring at 60.3 ppg
We are 38th at 85 per.
The Hun School is up by Princeton near my wife's office. The Maguire Family must be seriously well set-up to have 2 daughters go there. Tried posting the image of the tuition table, but it is giving me problems. Just copying the table now:
2023-2024 TUITION
MIDDLE SCHOOL DAY $45,200
UPPER SCHOOL DAY $50,300
UPPER SCHOOL BOARDING $73,700
ACADEMIC LEARNING SKILLS PROGRAM $19,300
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE $15,000
NEW INTERNATIONAL FEE $5,000
RETURNING INTERNATIONAL FEE $3,000
I would like to see the Hokies pick one of these games and get Kitley a triple double. Get her 10 points and start looking for assists instead of shooting.
10 blocks?
Or will Wenzel beat her to it?
Kitley is going to need to learn to pass if she wants to play at the next level. When she starts playing against players as tall or taller than she is every day, she's going to need to add passing to her skills.
The pass from Kitley between her legs to Amoore behind her for the assist should be ESPN Top Ten
gifs or it didn't happen
Hey, I can see me in that gif!
King from the logo!
Offense no issue but surprised at the scoring for HCU. Came in thinking Hokies would keep them under 40 points.
Well damn, they still might.
check
Kenny must have got into them at the end of the quarter. Ladies have held HCU scoreless for the first 5 minutes of the second.
Well damn, I'll drink
Now I can join you that I am home from Cub Scouts.
Cheers, we can watch some high quality ACC football now. What a terrible follow up to the weekend of Cassell.
"HIGH QUALITY"
Yet VT football is so intimidated there by those yellow seats, we can't get a fucking good play off, or hold pitt under 400 yards rushing.
How does your body support organic life when it's that salty all the time?
Play a clean game and beat Pitt up there ONCE without looking like a weak HS team and I'll shut up. ONCE.
Fuente did it...
does this count or nah

edit: i'll drink
That is embarrassing
After making my snarky comment I actually did enjoy the late second quarter through the last minute of the game until the refs just went braindead and ruined it for everyone.
judging by that targeting hit, people beside the ref were in danger of becoming braindead as well.
Hmm, now this has me wondering, do refs practice targeting calls by executing perfect examples of targeting on each other during their preseason focus groups. That would really answer a lot of questions with how games are called
I guess programmable LED lighting doesn't help get fans in the seats. Maybe they can use that tech to project images of people in the stands.
^^^This is the kind of innovating thinking I come here for.
Suffren showing off on both ends and Strack having a solid game underneath. Really good to see the Freshmen putting up solid performances. Baker also on the board.
Kitley 3 pointer lol fam
Well almost eight minutes holding them scoreless. Hokies now with the 3-1 advantage scoring.
Kenny just playing lineup roulette at this point. There have been about 15 different looks out there already.
I for one was loving it. He was throwing the kitchen sink at them and HCU couldn't stop it. The frustration on their players was epic as we blocked shots left and right.
Strack in double digits
Wenzel and Strack will be a great follow to Amoore and Kitley once their time is up
I see Wenzel more as the shooting guard with Suffren or incoming Lexi Blue at the point. Wenzel will replace King.
All Starters in double digits with Amoore getting the double double
Hundo.
HUNDO
under 40
Yep 16 points through 10 and only 20 over next 30. Definitely locked them down.
Freshmen with 33 points, 18 rebounds and 3 assists tonight.
Kitley and Strack combining for 42 and 14. Strack actually with more rebounds tonight than Kitley.
Strack almost played as much as Kitley, and it was hard for Kitley to get rebounds when everything went in or was crazy wild. I lost track of how many air balls or blocks HCU experienced.
Yeah not sure I can remember a game for either side with as many air balls as last night
That was fun!
