Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3801722, member: 6620"] I have a long-standing self-rule of not commenting on losses that take place at night (late afternoon, even) until the next day. Get the emotion out of the way. But since I made a pre-game post, I feel I owe a post-game follow-up (darn it ;) ) That said....AHHHHHH :mad:🤧:eek:Head bang (I really need that one!). Outscored 16-1 to end the game. They had broken the press in the first half with relative ease. And in the third quarter they got to the line and sunk free throws. So, in the last four minutes: [LIST] [*]all four Irish come to get the ball, congesting the whole damn place, rather than space out and move the ball via pas. [*]Irish got passive on offense and started whatever they were running waay to late. Dribble, dribble, dribble (etc) to quote one of the posts on the Bench from last night. [*]That said, the Irish seemed tentative to make a pass to the few cutters that were open. [*]Maddy Westbeld got only 8 shots, despite the fact that BC's starting center was out and she was matched up against guards or a 17-year-old one week removed from high school. And, oh yes, BC was over the limit. Pass into Westbeld and get out of the way. (the last shot was too congested). [/LIST] Growing pains for team and coach. But still....arrghh. (BTW, I've gotta give the BC coach kudos for what she's doing there....they play hard in every game I see. Really active hands placed at the right height.) [/QUOTE]
