Analysis of second game box score:
Bigs mostly led the way again:
Lana 12pts, 13 rbs including 5 offensive, 1 assist and 2 TOs
Kendall Puryear 8 pts, 5 rbs, no A and 3 TOs
Alaina 9 pts, 6 rbs, 1 A and 0 TO
Reagan Bass 8 pts, 10 rbs, 2 A and 1 TO
Smith, Jones and Swanson did show up this game better though:
Sophie 13 pts on 5-9 shooting, 3-7 from behind the arc, 0 rbs, 1 A, 1 TO
Jones 12 pts on 5-5 shooting including 1 of 3 from behind the arc, 0 rbs, 2 A and 1 TO
Smith 11 pts on 5-10 shooting including 0-1 from 3, 3 rbs, 3 A, and 1 TO
We killed them in rebounding 51-22 which is a large part for our bigs getting so many points as it seems many/most are coming off offensive boards. With Alaina having such good games we can safely guess that its the poor level of post competition and not our players excellence leading to this type of disparity. Two games combined we out rebounded the opponents 102 - 58. I am happy the posts are getting some confidence building play, but I worry its going to quickly evaporate when they start the season and face even mediocre competition.
Other than Bass the other transfers are just filling space IMO:
Collier 6 pts on 2-6 shooting, including 0-3 from distance. 1 RB, A and Steal to no TOs. For the two games combined she is 5-15 from the field, 0-6 from distance, 4-4 from the FT line, 2 rbs, 2 A, 2 Steals and 1 TO. Anyone thinking she is going to be any help is really drinking the koolaid a lot IMO. And Gearlds needs to dial down that "best shooter she's even seen" BS a whole bunch IMHO.
Lombard 6 pts on 3-5 shooting, 0-2 from 3, 3 rbs, 3 A, 0 TOs for a two game total of 11 pts on 5-10 shooting 1-4 from 3, 7 rbs, 3 A, 2 TOs
Petree 5 pts on 1-6 shooting including 0-4 from distance and 3-4 fts, 3 rbs, 0 A and 1 TO for a two game total of 9 pts, 5 RBS, 0 A, and 1 TO
Amiyah still a non-factor as the nicest way of putting it
2 pts on 1-2 shooting, 2 rbs, 0 A and 4 TOs for a two game total of 3 pts on 1-4 shooting, 4 rbs, 3 A and 7 TOs
From Smith and Jones shooting numbers its pretty clear the drive to the rim was a 4 lane highway and the Portugese girls could not stop our quick guards from getting to the rim. Take their success this game with a huge pile of salt. We would have had better competition staying home and playing against McCutcheon, Harrison, and Jeff. Likewise don't get too excited about our posts doing well against 6' or less HS girls.... Beyond site-seeing and team building these games are pointless beyond the extra practices they give the team and coaches to work with.
We have 34 Assists total two games on 72 made baskets........ and 29 TOs.
