She can certainly score but her first objective is to run the team and she plays that way. Ever pay attention to why Jordan and Jenny get so many wide open looks from 3? It's not because opponents don't think they can shoot. It's Jackie penetrating and kicking out. How about Sophie? She seems to get the ball down low in a position to score a lot. Who makes that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If anything Kemph is too unselfish. In the A10 she could score at will. She passes up drives and shots to give her teammates chances to score. She should be averaging over 20 a game. No one in the A10 can touch her. The women will be fine. I loved the 2 seniors this year. Sadie was a great player but not a transcendent talent. I almost think she held the team back. We have improved our talent with each recruiting year but the seniors kind of bottle necked the rotation. Watch for a more talented group to emerge that just couldn't beat out Sadie & Olivia in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffries is a 5'8" shooting guard and sounds like the better of the two. The other girl is a 6'2" center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bracket is weird since they re-seed after each round, but it looks like we're the equivalent of an 8 seed. So we just barely scraped into a first rounder at Chaifetz.

hsmith19 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Bills survive to face the Hoosiers on Sunday. That had to be the worst officiating at a basketball game I have ever seen, at any level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This was my first women's game of the year. I was very impressed by how much the crowd gave it to the refs. Also very impressed by the SLU Band's countdown of the shot clock. They counted down the clock but as if it had more time than it did. IUPUI just held onto the ball as the real shot clock expired but the band was still counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU women made NO 3pt shots, IUPUI had 5 I think, but we outrebounded them by a wide margin. Not clear if the Sunday game vs IU is here or there. Sadie Stipanovich single handedly put the team on her back in the third quarter and willed us to a win. Must have had 15 reb all by herself. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschkind Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Turnovers were a big difference as well between the halves. I think it was about 12 TOs in the first half and only 4 in the second. Thanks for the shoutout on the shot clock. We've tried that before, only worked a couple times, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't handle Sadie, and finally in 4th quarter Kempf got it going. McMahan and Frantz were good on both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Bills lead after 1, 18-15. Should've been more but two really dumb turnovers in the final minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
