Davidson Game (Scrimmage) Thread

[3397char]

Coming out of the timeout, Akot, Queiroz, Brooks, Kelly and Harpring stay in the game. Will that be our closers today?

 

[bradarb08]

Gabby White has left 10 points at least on the floor between layups and free throws. Kate up there, too.

 

[3397char]

Neither Blanca or Bofia have played in the second half.

Good point. Davidson plays 5 out and their threes were harming us.

 

[3397char]

After staring cold, Brooks hit three 3pters later in the game, up 9

 

[Jriv23]

40-40 at the half on a closing three from the Wildcats.

conceding 40 in a half is no bueno, and the problem is open threes and too many fouls giving charity points.

Davidson is 5-8 on threes, 7-10 on FTs

We are +5 on off rebounds, +9 in 2nd chance points, even on TOs, so in total we are +7 on shots taken, That is a good recipe for winning. But we have conceded 52% FGs to Davidson. Easy shots have negated decent overall basketball.

I am not worried. This is there first scrimmage. The team is relatively new with a lot of new players. This is expected for the first scrimmage. They will get better as they continue to play with one another. Also, this scrimmage does not count; therefore, win or lose is not the main point. This game is design to so areas of strength, weakness, and areas that need fixing and improving.

6 missed layups for the Heels in the final 2 minutes of the 3Q. Heels lead 52-48. Essentially a 7-man rotation right now.

Sounds like CB and staff are experimenting with the line up to me.

76-66 Heels with 33 seconds left

Taissa has played the entire second half. And I think Reniya, too.

 

[Jriv23]

Harpring subbed out 4:44 left in Q3, has not yet returned. so benched for 7 minutes and counting

I am not worried about that right now. I think CB and staff are trying to get Harpring to settle down. If I had to guess, I think she is pressing too much. She has to the game come to her. Besides this is her first college game. She is a freshman after all. It is going to take her some time to adjust to the college level game. I expect her to get better and figure things out each time she plays; watches film to see her mistakes that were made, etc.

 

[bradarb08]

Happy to see that after we gave up 40 in the first half we only gave up 26 in the second.

Heels Win! 76-66

Akot is my player of the game with a double/double, and a massive +/- differential. Need better efficiency from out PGs.

Sounds like this line up was needed to defend Davidson for shooting and hitting a lot of 3's in the first half.

Thanks for sharing and for the insights. I think the PG's efficiency will get better moving forward. We must remember RK played very little last year because of injury. She is rusted and she is trying to get her timing and rhythm back. This is Kate's first game playing college basketball. Chloe C. did not play at all today. Once they look at film and point out all of the mistakes they were made, etc. I think we should see some improvement in those areas the next scrimmage against Maryland.

Taissa has played the entire second half. And I think Reniya, too.

Bigs in this game:

Queiroz 30
Akot: 26
Thomas: 6
Bofia: 4

Add together the minutes of the bottom three and there were a few minutes where where Queiroz played the 5 and Hull played the 4. This will obviously change when we play Toomey, but interesting.

Reniya anchored the 2, with 34 min leading the team. For Harpring (25 min) and White (19 min) is was pretty much an either/or with one usually subbing for the other. They only played together in the rare minutes where Kelly rested.

 

[Jriv23]

IMO, they will be fine moving forward. Go Heels!

 

[6string]

We’ve see before that CB is going to put the lineup out there that she feels gives her the best defensive matchups and I think that’s what we see tonight.

 

[uman1]

So happy that we got Akot from the portal.

 

[oldwell]

Any intel on Toomey

 

[Gio2dahouse]

Bofia is going to be a good player for us. In limited time she moves extremely well for her size. Enjoyed the game today

 

[3397char]

Any intel on Toomey

Banghart said in the pre game interview with the radio broadcast that Toomey and Burrows were held out just as a precautionary measure. She also said other player(s) would be on minutes restriction, which probably was Clardy who was suited up but DNP.

 

[Dscottp169]

Hull’s first ever start, though it will not count.

really respect how she and some others have stuck with this team.

So true. I think her and Burrows will battle all season for minutes, shooters minutes.
