Omni Elite Classic

[Sluconn Husky]

Jeez, CD better be glad she's Patterson's teammate in the future. Patterson with a big block on a Ducharme drive to the basket. Patterson's lateral movement is excellent.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Azzi hits a one-handed jumper. Then hits a three two posessions later.

Patterson 2-4 from the line so far, Ducharme 1-2.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Patterson's all over the floor, can do so many things. Fudd and Ducharme both miss threes.

Also, former UConn POI Paulina Paris is going to be good.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Paris' shot is about as smooth as Azzi's. And she has handles and an attacking mentality.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Fudd's trying to play defense but she's been beat badly twice off the dribble by quick guards.

On the other hand she responds with a three which she's quite good at.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

DeBerry takes her fourth shot, all jumpers, and still is ofer.

Ducharme tries her luck again driving against Patterson, this time spinning in the process, and Patterson disrupts the shot entirely.

Then Patterson hits a 12 foot jumper.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Paris makes another three.

Patterson travels trying to get to the rim but she's being aggressive. Can't say the same for DeBerry.

Ducharme once again tries to take Patterson off the dribble and Patterson forces a travel.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

DeBerry 0-5 from the field.

Patterson gets another offensive board and gets fouled, but missed both FT's. Now 2-6 from the line.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Amari finally connects, a George Gervin flip shot.

Caroline Ducharme misses a three badly. Then Patterson dives on the floor for a loose ball rebound.

 

[Childhood]

DeBerry 0-5 from the field.

Patterson gets another offensive board and gets fouled, but missed both FT's. Now 2-6 from the line.

Seems not looking good for both of them.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Terrific move by Ducharme but she can't finish.

Azzi misses from three but hits a little one-handed jumper again from about 6 feet.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Ducharme drives to the basket and scores to begin the 4th.

Fudd misses from three.

Ducharme gets called for a foul on what looked like a clean block.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Caroline Ducharme misses from three. She's had a rough night from the field.

Now Ducharme gets a block. She hits two free throws a short time later.

Tim Fudd is one of the coaches. I was wondering why Azzi was playing so much.....

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Fudd hits a shot off glass from about 8 feet after a missed Ducharme jumper.

Patterson continues to beat everyone down the floor, pass just gets intercepted.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Azzi with a good pass on a 3-on-1 for a layup. Then Patterson skies for another O-Rebound and putback.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Patterson cuts off a Paris drive and forces a turnover. She can make such an impact even without scoring.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

The Fudds win 74-57. Even down 17 in the dying seconds Patterson is defending hard and shutting down a drive attempt by a guard along the baseline.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

What can be taken from one exhibition game? Can't draw a ton of conclusions, but if Patterson isn't the #1 player in her class by next season there ought to be an investigation.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Another thing Patterson is adept at is moving. She does a lot of high screening and rolling to get open inside. Her upside is scary.

Thanks for the play-by-play Sluconn. It was enlightening. I liked Patterson before. I like her even more now.

Typical all star game. Players who are used to dominating, now have to contend with players of equal ability. So, you basically get a stalemate. How long has it been since these girls have played a competitive game?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Also thought Aaliyah Del Rosario looked out of her league. Now, she's 1-2 years younger than most of the others there so that plays a big part, but she was way to slow and inexperienced for that group of players.

 

[hard2please]
