Coach talked about Mack post game. Said she is over thinking the doubles and at other times getting sped up. Agree with both comments and said as much to the wife during the game. Hoping the break and maybe a few lessons from Yarden on how to play in chill mode will get her back on track.

This has been the type of defensive effort that we needed heading into conference play. We have taken BG completely out of their comfort zone.

Watched the SC - BG game this week. BG avoided driving the ball against SC and took a lot of threes which made sense given the size differential they faced. They are good three point shooting team and used a lot of motion to free them up. They also played a lot of 1-3-1 zone to clog the paint. They still struggled to contain Kitts (6'2" forward) as they kept giving her room to attack the top of the zone. Garzon could have some good success if they go with the 1-3-1 against us. BG is a good team despite getting blown out by Iowa and SC and will provide a good defensive challenge in protecting the three. Now, SC could have easily won this game by over 50 but backed off the intensity. Given that BG's coach was an assistant at SC last year, this was a nice gesture.

We flipped with VTech who beat Rutgers by 25 on the road on Sunday.

This is an ugly third quarter of basketball by both teams

We gave up 25 to one player in one half and she is not named Clark. Can someone play defense please?

That is the third layup Yarden has missed.

Where is the toughness that we saw over Thanksgiving?

Jules played a good bit when Sydney was in early foul trouble. I thought she showed some good improvement on defense by being in the right place more often than not.

Two "current" Quad 1 wins against the Net makes for a thankful holiday weekend.

The first half was fun, but the second half was hard to watch. We struggled mightily with the short shot clock after breaking the press. No urgency and poor shot selection, which allowed Princeton to come back.

Sadly, no bench points.

Kelly Gramlich of the ACC Network did not have us in the top 25 but had Maryland at 25. All 36 Voters by ranking. 23 - 4 22 - 2 21 - 5 20 - 6 19 - 3 18 - 4 17 - 2 16 - 5 15 - 1 13 - 1 11 - 1 10 - 1 N/R - 1

Whole season's worth of film to pick apart. Can we learn and grow? Time will tell.

Concur on the summary and hoping Jelks was just a bit off. on a personal note, got to watch the game on my business trip that brought me into Fort Wayne. Nice to be close compared to N.C.

Just an odd coincidence.

Box is a great coach and will be missed, but also excited he is getting a head coaching opportunity.

She will start at UNC. Most likely would have been coming off the bench for us.

So true "...Berger, one of the physically strongest guards in the draft."
