Georgia Tech Preview and Game Thread
- Thread starter ZinfanHeel
- Start date
can we put Kate in the game and get her off the phone
Henderson is consistently first to the ground. Love her intensity.
Last year Blanca wasn't afraid to shoot the open 3, this year she doesn't even look at the rim. I find it a little strange especially after she talked about it in the off season
37-30 Heels at the end of the 3 quarters, Just get that win please,
She’s too slow to play on the wing. Needs to get stronger and take her 6’4” body to the block and mid-post!
4 of Turnages 7 blocks have come against Harris on the low block!
Dont like that call on Henderson at all. Was basically a loose ball and she got there first.
I almost expect one team to shoot at the wrong basket
Don’t worry, they won’t make the shot
Too early to play slow down, especially with no one to create their own shot
We have gone to the DK offense with a lead from the past. Up 11, dribble until five seconds on the clock, and take a terrible shot.
She was rightfully focused on getting the ball to a much better FT shooter as quickly as possible, but yeah awful pass.
and Grant could have helped by stepping to the ball instead of staying flat footed.
Survived a combined 4-29 FG shooting night from RK, IN, and LG.
thoughts and prayers to everyone who watched that game.
Gotta win ugly sometimes. Better than a loss even thought like watching paint dry. 16-5 (5-3). Keep winning.

A terrible terrible offensive game for us. Ugly win that woould be a sure loss vs Syracuse.
Taliyah Henderson gave the team a big lift. I hope we play her more. She is very athletic and talented.

Angelica with the call 50 feet behind the play while refs right there correctly called nothing.
Good road win. GT played great perimeter defense while also challenging most shots in the paint. Likewise, we defended well the entire 2nd half. It was good to see the ladies dig in defensively and hit our free throws down the stretch.
Having been put to sleep by the game, it was nice to wake up and see that CT dominated the glass with 15 rebounds!
Lanie should not be getting starters minutes. She’s offering very little right now except good free throw shooting. In the first half, our offense was insanely stagnant with her on the floor. It wasn’t great in that game in general, but we got into a much better flow after she subbed out. She doesn’t move without the ball well. And even against FSU most of her points came in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach.
I really appreciated that CB benched Harris after not going after a very reachable rebound. She literally asked why and when Nyla didn’t even acknowledge her she put in Taliyah and she didn’t come back in the rest of the game.
Indya is going through it right now. But I will say, tge last few games it feels like she’s realizing she’s not going to be our No. 1 option on offense. While she pushed too hard on some the last couple of games, it’s been a significant decrease in those kinds of decisions since the Stanford and ND games. So maybe she’s getting the idea.
Brooks… super bad night.
We need to start Elina and put RK at the 2… that’s our best backcourt option. Bring Lanie off the bench and mix Hull in at the 2 some, too.

I’m going to echo something that has been set here a lot and it is very true… All of Courtney’s teams have lacked an alpha scoring two guard… You could argue that DK was kind of that but she was playing more point because we never had healthy point guards. If we could go into the portal and get a legitimate scorer, this team would be so insanely good.
A few thoughts from watching the game live:
1. Ga Tech played super aggressive defense. Mostly to the point of hacking with no calls.
2. The shorter female ref was trash. Absolute trash. I cannot emphasize this enough.
3. Turnage played the defensive game of her life. I would say all nine of her blocks were real. No fouls.
4. Hate to put it this way: So goes Reniya. So goes this team. Such a different team when she's not on the floor AND hitting shots.
6. In many ways, Elena won this game with timely drives, but I wish she would pull up more from the free throw line.
7. Nyla Harris was on the bike for most of the game.
8. Atlanta Tar Heels had a quick meet-and-greet with Coach before the game. Really wonderful to watch people talk with her.
9. GREAT Tar Heel turnout.
10. Feels like we need to start a Taliyah Henderson fan club.
11. Small, but fantastic game from Blanca Thomas
12. Nyla Brooks' grandparents were there.
13. Kate Harpring was at the game!!!!

Mercy! I want to be optimistic, but game over game there’s no improvement/growth. I’m holding out hope, similar to dook, we can get this figured out and finish the season playing cleaner/more disciplined basketball. It’s just mind boggling to watch some of the stretches this team goes through. Unfortunately, they’re not alternating offensive and defensive struggles. They’re going through both at the same time. Bad recipe.
