Key Player

• 
  #21 Taylor Petty
  5' 9" Freshman Guard
  Averaging 14.8 Pts & 1.4 Rebs + 35.1% on 3-Pt Attempts

The team is 4-0 without Ashley. I say "team" because they are playing well as a team. The bigs are playing great. The wings have more consistency, better ball handling and scoring punch with Sanders and Alexander not to mention their size and length on defense. Everybody seems to be contributing more on offense and they're playing better defensively, especially closing out on giving up threes. The biggest negative is to cut down on turnovers. If they can do that they should win the conference with or without Ashley.

I agree that the team appears to be creating a nice flow without trying to force it to Ashley. Obviously we would LOVE to have our best player on the floor. But it is encouraging to see them collectively stepping up together.

I think Alexander needs to start or at least get more minutes. She is the best ball handler on the team. Johnson and Fisher Davis not so much. Her 6 assists and 2 TOs last game is what she can bring to the court especially as teams press us full court. We couldn't even get the ball in bounded several times. She could help with that and also in bounding to Kearney could also give us an option for the inbounds pass. Our point guards are in the negative whn it comes to A/TO ratio. I look at a girl from VA playing for Duquesne at PG and she has 115 assists and 28 TOs. I cringe when I look at Ellis and Leatherwood's stats - I think its a combined 80 TOs. We are fortunate with Ashley's injury as the BSC is pretty weak this year and we should be able to win it all barring a meltdown in the tournament - Radford, GWU and Asheville are the only teams comeptitive right now.

Turnovers has been our weakness for over a decade...

7-25 from 3 PT land? I don't know which is more shocking. They shot 25 3's or made only 7

8-30 on 2 point shots. What's worse is they only forced 5 TOs. Offense and defense pretty poor tonight.

For an LUWBB team to take almost 1/2 their shots from 3 pt land is out of character

That's their strategy to cut down on turnovers - heave it up before they give it away. It worked as they had only 13 for the game.

Presbyterian must have chucked it up pretty quickly too since they only had 5 TOs. We really lack any defensive pressure as we are last in steals and forcing TOs in the BSC. So much for having 6'6" and 6'5" post players and a height advantage - took 8 shots combined. Almost a bad a loss as the Seton Hall blowout (at home).

That's what you call "a whoopin!"

But seeing that it's against Presbyterian, the outcome was predestined.

Ronny Fisher can flat-out COACH! He has several wins and close losses against LU over the years.

I once sat in the guy's film room, and I watched him breakdown BSC teams. He has a simple game plan for every team in the league. He saved LU for last. Suffice it to say, he has it right. I walked out of that room blown away. GREAT guy too!

He definitely has a defensive scheme and gets the most from the little talent he gets.

Now, here's the $64,000 question (and I understand fully if you choose not to answer it). Can you say the same thing about Carey Green?

Nothing to see here.

Dear @LUADJeff, couple ideas for icebreakers after the season:

"we should start seeing other people"

"its not you, its us"

Translation: Thank you for 16 Big South Championships (since its apparently assumed that we will not be winning #17 after this loss). Thank you for a run to the Sweet 16 in 2005. Thank you for two players playing in the WNBA and training up many champions both on and off the court...that said...

correct

I underestimated your keen sense of the obvious

Does he have 16 BSC Champishios?

I am the resident Captain Obvious after all...

Anyway, its perfectly fine to want that (my previous comments notwithstanding), but if that's what you want, why beat around the bush about it...why don't you simply own it and let that stand on its merits.

I think he has 15 and Rick Reeves has the other one if memory serves me correctly

Purple Haize wrote:Does he have 16 BSC Champishios?

Negatory. The program has 16. He "only" has 13. Reeves won 3 before he arrived.
