Meanwhile Matilda was Sp-Ekhtacular
She put up 27 points with 7 three pointers. Summiel threw in a double-double and Hokies overcame a 20 opportunity free throw deficit to win big.

All this had two other milestones involved.
Georgia moved up to second all time in program history in three pointers made. Puts her directly behind King. Pretty awesome to have top two in women's and top in men's at same time.

Lewis's takedown alone is worth a FAM
Trying to find the video clip (after the Elite Eight win, I think?) where Amoore shrugs and says in a little-girl voice, "I just like to shoot the three ball."
She's a hell of a basketball player, for sure.
Fammity fam fam.
Sp-Ekhtacular, that's great ๐
The ref's kept it from being a fifty point blowout by putting Rutgers to the free throw line again and again.
To be fair, Rutgers did a pretty solid job of getting in the paint and creating contact. It was kind of like the Kansas game just not a close score because the ladies were hitting shots. Hokies really didn't take it into the paint much. Kitley only had 11 points and half of those were on her floater shot. Summiel scored inside but mostly on offensive rebound put backs.
The box score also shows she was 4 - 4 from three.
Was trying to say her baskets inside were not as a result of dribble penetration and were not contested shots that would lead to free throws.
got cha. I'm picking up what you're putting down now.
Love seeing the Lady Hokies continue with last years success.
Solid ACC win for the Wrasslin Bros!
