Dorka and Ducharme. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who had a ticket. Let me tell you as most of you already know. Watching the game in person vs on tv is a huge difference. Dorka and Ducharme are really really good. Better the advertised. Both run the floor really well. Both are aggressive. Caroline is a really good defensive player. Caroline had her hand on alot of passes and loose balls. Once she got her first basket in the 4th qtr she was unstoppable. Dorka is quick and strong and goes right at the hoop. She also has a nice 3 pt shot.
Let me start by talking a little bit about warm ups. Liv was out behind the 3 pt line shooting effortlessly and knockin'em down. She stood on the wing took 2-3 shots and moved a couple of steps and took 2-3 more and worked her way around the perimeter. Made almost every trey she took. Good arch on the ball. In the game her first two shots didnt have any arch but she kept shooting. In warm ups everybody was knocking down their shots. The basket seem like it was the ocean and everything was going in. Christyn and Evina looked much more confident and the score box shows it. Paige made some great passes and made everybody else look better. This is a really really good passing team. One note Griff and Saylor were not dressed for the game. Both are still rehabbing.
When they got in the game both Azzi and Caroline took a little time to adjust. Theyre freshman. It was almost like lets get everybody involved and work our stuff. That will change quickly. I thought the purpose of today was to get the jitters out of everybody. Give everybody some playtime in a real game and get them acclimated. They did that. This is a really good passing team and everybody can score and they all have the ability to score alot of points which will make them very hard to defend. Today was all about executing what they learned in practice, and getting some minutes. I liked what I saw. Now we need more work on the line and we made some silly fouls. We've got depth but we still need everybody available to play. Foul trouble can not become an issue especially in big games.
