I'll survive, not sure she will, though she's pretty tough.
 
How can you make so many poor decisions against a press defense?
 
I dont know but Mater Dei is gonna mess around and lose this game
 
They were up pretty comfortably against this team before collapsing in their previous meeting. Same type of game, same issues against pressure.
 
Lou with a huge steal that may save them.

Not impressed with Mater Dei's basketball IQ.

Lou gets the steal from behind and the Mater Dei kid runs up and chucks a three a few seconds later with no teammates around and the chance to take the last shot.

This may be another heart-breaker for Lou.
 
man before this foul - how could Adams take that shot and not look for Lou.

I agree. Damn. But what a fun game.
 
Lou doesn't deserve this but I can't really say the same for most of the rest of the team.

Mater Dei hasn't handled that press all game. Not sure how they think they can do it in 3.8seconds.
 
Two losses this year, both choke jobs against the same team and in the same manner. Kiernan claimed his team was not the same one that blew it three months ago. Appears he was wrong.
 
breaks my heart seeing KLS in tears like that.....
 
KLS finished with 31 points on 10-18 shooting, 6-11 from three, 5-5 from the line. She missed her last three shots including the desperation heave at the end.

Mater looks like a bunch of me first players. And as good a shooter Lou is, she strolled up and down the court like EDD. Her defense is non-existent and she doesn't have a clue about rebounding. At least in this game. Chaminade played like a team. I have an idea now about KML's comment that there was no sense of family at her HS.

Anyone who thinks Lou will walk into a starting position next season needs to watch this game.
 
Poor decisions poor defense and poor coaching cost MD this title....how hard is that to realize that number 10 should not be allowed to shoot 3's and she is 5'4...are you kidding me....I feel so bad for KLS...

No offense --but I think you're analysis is way out there.
 
Unfortunately, it was incredibly poor coaching for KLS. There were at least four or five times in the last quarter where they continuously called plays to get KLS open threes...not once did they try to isolate her in the post or at the high post. She's 6'4 and spends all her time on the perimeter, when her defender is smaller....isolate her and let her attack the post. Breanna Stewart wasn't coached to sit on the perimeter in HS....she did both. KLS does both when we plays for USA, but every time I've watched one of her HS games (granted thats only a handful) it is always screens for threes. Mix it up. Give her different looks. It makes her really easy to guard when you only run one or two things for her. Just really really poor coaching down the wire and really poor decision making from her teammates. Gotta feel for the kid. Good news....she gets to play at UConn next year where the latter two things mentioned won't be an issue. Best coach in basketball and good decision makers on the perimeter. I have a feeling she is ready to be surrounded by some people who can get her the ball where she needs it....moriah.

Those at Mater Dei have said the bad seeds are now gone and that the team chemistry is great. That just looked like poor decision making combined with excellent shot-making from Chaminade to me.
 
Mater Dei's season isn't over though. They still have a chance to win their state title.

This thread goes to show you that basketball is serious business around these parts.
 
Really shocking how bad MD handled the press. They would've been eaten alive by St. Mary Stockton's press though in the Open Final (had they won). MD has a lot of talent outside of Lou. Chaminade is all Higgins and Odom (mostly). Though, Odom and Higgins are probably Top 30 players in the 2016 class, and are long, athletic wings that can "disrupt" Lou moreso than most HS players.
 
ME: "she strolled up and down the courtlike EDD. "

My comment was admittedly based on one game. I only saw the last 3 quarters. And soon after I put it on she ran down a Chaminade player on a break off a turnover and stuffed it out of bounds off Chaminade. A fantastic play. But on far too many plays in he second half she was the last MD player into the frontcourt. And she floated rather than ran on offense.

I hope I'm wrong but it's what I saw.

I can't understand how she has played for years on top HS teams and AAU teams and never was taught a defensive stance.
 
That was painful to watch. How does she never go to the post to get the ball? How does she not get the ball consistently in the 4th quarter as her team falls apart? Totally outcoached. Unprepared to handle the press.
 
Besides poor decisions, lack of rebounding really hurt Mater Dei. How many second chance points did they give up.
 
Just back from the game and I sat behind the bench as I came out of my depressive hibernation from our miserable season.

First of all, MD does not have any other good players, even ours who I particularly came to see was woeful. KLS has basically carried this team on her back. The coaches are constantly telling her to stay out of foul trouble, she is a target and the whole Chaminade team were trying to stop her and hitting her everywhere on the court. High schools officiating is so bad it's amazing there were no injuries.

How can she post, they double her and her team cannot pass the ball quick enough to avoid the double. Most of her points she has to work her ass off to get.

The end of game demise was due to their pG who is a holdback and just folded and turned the ball over. I actually like the freshman post better than the one verbal to us who will never play but just is a local with alumni parents. Kieran should have put the ball in KLS hands as she would draw doubles and break the press but he just seemed to let the game get away from him especially when the refs were not giving any calls.

Well maybe she will decommit and stay home - sorry just my wishful thinking.
