I guess my expectations are too high because I have been spoiled in the past by watching great Lady Flames teams, but watching this team this year has been painful.

24-15 LU

Molly for 2

[Stevev]

Molly again for 2 Up by 9 now

[PAmedic]

[thepostman]

I just started listening to the radio...and FSN is talking and talking and the Nick says something...I was caught off guard....haha

[PAmedic]

ok.

spoke to soon.

1 foul, 1 turnover, 1 missed call and we are letting them back in it.

28-22 LU w/ 17 sec left

[hurricane fan]

28-22 halftime

this game should have been put away. it will come back to bite us in the rear

[PAmedic]

we are definitely holding our own- and could be playing better.

I am optimistic about our chances here. Very optimistic.

[PAmedic]

POSITIVES:

1. definitely the rebounding edge.
2. decent defense

NEGATIVES:

1. what else: TURNOVERS
2. sounds like we are making mental mistakes (poor shots, too aggressive at times)

[PAmedic]

GMTM on - talking up the ACC

actually, pouring salt in the wound for dear ol' SMOOTHIE

[ATrain]

The ACC-only the greatest conference ever

[Chris Lang]

Quick takes:
* The defense has been outstanding. LU is forcing Radford's bigs away from the basket. Darden and Stephens are taking shots they don't want to take, from 10, 12 feet away.
* Megan sat the last four-plus minutes. LU still played well without her, and she should be well rested for the stretch run here.
* Radford isn't getting open 3s. Guards are doing a good job defending the perimeter.
* That last five-point run is enough to give RU some confidence. First four minutes here will be key.

With all of these tourneys going on at the same time, I'm actually having to work tonight. So I haven't been able to see what is going on. But it looks like Carey has the ladies more focused tonight based on the box.

I guess my expectations are too high because I have been spoiled in the past by watching great Lady Flames teams, but watching this team this year has been painful.

not only painful at times but torturous at times too.

[ATrain]

Speaking of torture, how about a press row seat for that UNCA game in the Vines...ugh, not fun to cover that one.

[Chris Lang]

At least you can get to your press row seat in the Vines without having to climb over 50 people.

[PAmedic]

picking up where we left off-

31-22 LU

we have the ball

[PAmedic]

a steal and fast break, Alison with the lay in

[hurricane fan]

At least you can get to your press row seat in the Vines without having to climb over 50 people.

Are there 50 people there, Chris? Not including the benches

[PAmedic]

RU hitting their shots as well, though

MORIAH for the bucket and the foul!!!

[BJWilliams]

25-12 on the rebounds as Nick just mentioned

[ATrain]

Battle of the Boards: 25-12 in favor of the Lady Flames

Yeah, decent crowd. Couple hundred.

[PAmedic]

we manage 3 OFFENSIVE rebounds in a row but no one can convert

thank God Moriah eventually got fouled

[PAmedic]

Battle of the Boards: 25-12 in favor of the Lady Flames

actually 29-13, LU

ya gotta be quicker than that!
