#11 Georgetown 56 Longwood 45 (Longwood? Seriously?)

I took a look at Longwood's roster and found some very familiar names on the coaching staff including one that knows Georgetown pretty well.

Wanisha Smith (Duke), Asst. Coach
Lindsay Schrader (ND), Asst. Coach
Jenny Poff (Michigan State/Ohio), Asst. Coach

That's a pretty good start to a very nice lineup there.

Here's a bit of info from the game:

Georgetown shot 31.7% (19-60) from the field, including 27.3% (3-11) from behind the arc, and 83.3% (15-18) from the foul line. Rodgers (2-10 FG, 8-8 FT) led the Hoyas with 13 points while Adria Crawford grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Georgetown outrebounded Longwood 44-29, including 19-4 on the offensive glass. The Hoyas turned 23 Longwood turnovers into 24 points and had a 28-20 advantage in points in the paint.

I completely forgot that Schrader was hired by Longwood. I didn't know Smith was there too. I can close my eyes and picture Longwood sitting in a zone and forcing Georgetown to make perimeter shots.

Stunning win for 'Nova. Plus...they had 75 points! Does this signal a new style of offense for Harry
or were they just incredibly hot?

Duke game is interesting. BYU was right there with them until the end!

#5 Stanford 72 #20 Texas 59 (lots O boards by half the O tandem)

The O tandem would be Chiney Ogwumike and Joslyn O'Tinkle?

I took a look at Longwood's roster and found some very familiar names on the coaching staff .

Even more familiar name: previous Longwood coach was former UConn Kris Lamb.
