We are up 40-38 at half, but turnovers hurt us. They have been able to score inside 28 of their 38 points were scored in the paint, We may have to play two of our bigs at the same time as they, like most teams outweigh us. Bad side of that it slows us down as we outrun them. Guessing we may focus on rebounding. Good news is we shot 50 % from the field for the half and no real foul trouble.

Dolan again so tough going to the basket, she is hard to stop. Basket and one is sweet to see. While I have to let Coach Green decide on Webber starting or 6th man, so far it has worked, I too wished she got a bit more playing time. Her ability to score sure is a plus. By the way the male announcer today must be a Purdue grad they are down 6 and he talks about they are just where they want to be, they are controlling the game etc etc. STFU they are losing pal.

We have done an amazing job of scoring at the end of the quarter/half this year. Wallace with a long three and we are up 67-53 at the end of 3.

Our defense in the second half has been excellent

Maddie is a great addition to the team and certainly has earned her playing time. I like her coming off the bench as she usually adds a spark, like today in the first half. Jasmine is a solid all-around player who brings a lot of stability, especially on the defensive end. Coach Green has been playing this rotation the entire season, and at 12-1 I don’t see her making significant changes unless specific match-ups are needed or someone is in foul trouble.

Lost the fourth quarter again today.
And the 2nd quarter by more…

In my opinion we have a tired team and the physicality and speed gets to us and our decision making.

The only negative from today’s game was Guyton only playing 7 minutes. She needs to get to the point to where she can contribute in the tough games. We need her to be the player she was billed to be. She is a crucial if we are to reach our ceiling.

The good news is that she didn’t play because Destiny did so well…

Going small with both in probably not a good idea especially with Maddie also playing so well. unless she’s a lights out 3 point shooter?

Need to develop bench so our starters dont burn out
Vs purdue

Destiny 33
Gretchen 33
Jasmine 28
Berry 36
cearah 28

Maddy 22
Letty 12
Aaliyuh 8
Naomi 0

I would
Reduce Berry from 36 to 28
Reduce Destiny from 33 to 28
Reduce Gretchen from 33 to 28

Give 18 minutes to bench
