Plus/Minus: Virginia’s Women’s Basketball, crushed by Virginia Tech – Sports Illustrated

This game felt like a hangover game, something like an echo of women’s deep disturbance against Florida. The team is struggling to put in and their protection, never a strong suit, is actually regressed.

Minus

Three weeks ago, the same cavaliers prevailed over Hocky in Blexburg and celebrated their victory at Commonwealth Clash on the enemy soil in Kassel’s barn. On this day, Tech returned the service and restricted Hoos to a game that was not even close. I stopped making notes at the end of the second quarter, even when the game clock showed 23 minutes that still had to be played.

Minus

The technology was 12/19 (63%) of a three -point range, while Virginia went 2/16 (12%) each figure is equally damn and will get you a loss. Hit both negative goals in the same game and get a blow. And that’s where the biggest powerlessness comes from. Florida is a good team with perhaps the best crime in NCAA. Virginia is just not a good team. And the women made the hockey look really good.

Minus

Kimora Johnson lifted his second foul of the game only three and a half minutes in the first quarter. I will not complain that the first foul was quite light, but let’s just predict that the referees did not make Virginia, there were no benefits to the game. The coach Agugua-Hamilton removed Mo out of the game, and since Yonta Vaughn probably came out by the end of the season, Paris Clark was the last guard to stand and she had to run the responsibility of the security guard. She is fighting. When Johnson came out, Virginia held a 7-4 lead, but Tech continued with 14-2 and effectively ended the game.

Although I was very critical in the past of coach Mox and every coach who Yanka players with two fouls early made some sense in this game. Ref. At least they were not in line with it, and the only way any player could avoid these fouls would just be still. But Johnson’s absence killed the cavaliers. With Clark on top for those 6.5 minutes, nor my friend Craig could I understand what Hoos was trying to insult. Mox returned Johnson to start the second quarter – it was a really desperate move – but it was unsuccessful. After surpassing Virginia 20-14 in the first quarter, Tech harasses CAVS 26-14 in the second frame.

Plus

Clark scored 16 points, Crone Hurd 12, and Johnson joined Clark with 16 points. Seeing Clark and Hurd to reach double figures in the same game is a welcome view, but he was canceled by the poor performance by Latasha Latimore, who scored, but eight points only on three buckets. Olivia McGi breaks down before our eyes as she has scored only two or three points in four of her last five games.

Minus

The team returned to play defense from person to person, only everyone plays a step slowly. Tech consistently defeated Virginia up the court in the transition and once settled in a half-core, the rotations of Virginia were slow. At least five times my friend Craig complained that Hoos should at least try to keep the perimeter. (It did not help that when Virginia closed effectively, the Tech converted the three. It was somehow demoralizing that way.)

Plus

Paris Clark scored in the Zummer as the first quarter was over.

She did the same as the third quarter. It was quite cool to do it twice in the same game.

And this is the only plus I can think of.

Minus

This team was regressing and none of the players who were with coach Mox last season was better this year. Paris Clark, who finally looks healthy, put decent numbers – 16 points today, 16 against FSU and 19 against Louisville – but that made her 16, 13 and 12 shots respectively to get there. Her three -point shot has dried, she has been 2/14 in the last six games, and although she has been constantly attacking the rim, she has only collected 12 free throw attempts. We have already covered McGhee. Johnson is still what it is, the very heart and soul of this team, but besides Georgia Tech, she has looked over by any other guard she has encountered in the last six or more games. Edessa Noyan has faced 10 against Syracuse, but in the last six games she has only shot 12/38 from the floor. Taylor Lauterbach has only played 24 minutes in his last six games, including a minute in each of the last three.

If the nucleus does not progress and determines the nucleus as those who were in Virginia for the year and the year, this puts a greater weight for the newcomers Hurd and Latimore. And if they have to fight, it makes games like this.
