Outstanding game, especially the first and 4th quarters. We got sloppy at times and should have pulled the ball back out on some fast breaks when a defender was catching up. The first quarter was the best quarter I've seen us play in years. We led the entire game and pulled back away every time it got close.
Very impressive game by Staiti and good to see her getting more playing time. That's what we badly needed in the post. She has good basketball instincts. She has good hands, but the guards need to make sure they drive deep enough to get a good angle to pass the ball inside since she will be double teamed often in deny D.
She made some good catches when the ball was kept high.
I am much more excited about the possibilities for a good season. The SEC looks like it might be even tougher this season, so we need to keep improving. The crowd was good considering the awful weather, and everyone was really into the game. Our fans do love the ladies and gave them a lot of standing Os for the great effort.
