Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5200710, member: 26"] I honestly didn't think the first half was that bad but...Geno was not happy at all. I'm not going to put quotes around his halftime answer because this is from memory but... he was asked about maintaining momentum from the great SC win... [I]There was absolutely no momentum from the SC game. Kids these days are ridiculous. They thought after SC that Seton Hall was just going to roll over. I said before the game that they would outrebound us and they are. They are out working us, out hustling us, and out playing us. This is nonsense[/I]. Even Kara Wolters, normally a cheerleader, said the half was just "ick". 10 TO's against SC, and 7 already against Seton Hall. Meghan said the team is immature. Rebounding was kinda ugly and lackadaisical. Was hoping to see continued improvement from Jana, but meh. Azzi, aside from one nice pull up, was MIA. Paige ended the half grabbing her knee and limping off the court (I'll admit a moment of concern for this old heart). KK putting up too many 3's. Ash fouling on defense with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. I think all that added to Geno's frustration. Anyway, they seemed to start slowly in Q3, but then went on a roll. 30-13 outscoring Seton Hall is impressive in any quarter. [LIST] [*]Paige my POG. She really played well all over the floor. That steal at the end of Q3 to then get fouled with 3 seconds left in the quarter was really a heads up play. [*]Nice game from Chen. She doesn't take a lot of shots, but never seems to take a bad one. [*]Nice game from Shade as well. She seems to have picked right up from where she ended in the SC game. [*]My goodness, Aubrey! Great seeing her doing Aubrey things. Getting extended minutes really helped. 5-5 from the floor, 5-6 from the FT line. That steal and then full court sprint and layup was really nice. [*]Sarah was solid but not great [*]Much better rebounding in the 2nd half [/LIST] On the flip side... I thought KK and Azzi both had subpar games, and Jana took a step backwards. With the subs coming in starting with 6 minutes left in the game (Allie shortly followed by Q), I did not expect Q4 to be a thing of beauty. So winning the Q by 10 was just a bonus. Bottom line a nice win. Certainly uneven at times, but a lot of good in a 40+ point win! Geno MAY have a LOT to say when the team watches the tape of the game, but the team certainly got the memo at halftime... On edit... After the game Geno - "I thought we got a little better - we looked a little more connected. we got sloppy with our ball handling. I thought the 2nd half we did a much better job. The more Aubrey plays the better she's going to be - she loves playing here (Seton Hall). It's her favorite place to play! the more minutes she gets the better she will be. We know what we are going to get from Ash - she's pretty consistent. I'm proud of the bench because for the most part you know what you are going to get from them." [/QUOTE]
