Lord Elrond Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 A 77-58 win. They played good defense early, held Air Force to 21.8% shooting in the first 3 quarters. Flowers had 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. Offensively they got into the paint. This game pointed out 3 things that SLU needs to do for the rest of the season: 1-DEFENSE and rebounding are the key, 2-get the ball inside on offense, 3-don’t shoot 3 pt shots (they were 3-25 against Baylor, 4-23 against Belmont, 2-17 vs Air Force, total last 3 games 9-65, 13.8%). Don’t shoot from 3pt range, just don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts me deep in my soul that she never seemed to be able to add muscle/strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 The three-point shooting is like our foul shooting 3 years ago. It's just mental at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was injured last season, and ended the season early. I don’t know what her injury was, and I don’t know her injury status now, but if she’s not game ready why have her dress out and go do warmups with the other players?

I would think they'd have her on the injured list, then if she hasn't been ready this long. If my memory isn't failing me, she wasn't injured the whole season last year.

thetorch Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Tillett has definitely favored her players over the returners, I think to the team's detriment. Expect all of Stone's recruits to take off after the season. RUBillsFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was expected back at the start of the season, I’m not aware of her still being injured. During the pre-game shooting drills she’s dressed out and participating in all drills, the injured players are just in their sweats and don’t participate other than maybe chasing down loose balls. That’s all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Why are Nicastro's and Peyton Kennedy's minutes so limited? I can sort of understand easing the freshman Nicastro into the rotation, but Kennedy is a Jr. who is your team's second most efficient scorer behind Flowers, second in 3pt%, second on the team in offensive rebounds and first in total rebounds per minute played. Plus, she isn't a turnover machine like most of the rest of the roster has been this season. Looking at the numbers, you need to find her more than 13 minutes per game.

I think it goes back to Torch's point about Longwood players being favored over returners. kmbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Congratulations to Brooke Flowers for her rebounding record set last night against Mizzou! Beyond that, not sure what to say. 82-52 loss, they did shoot better from 3 pt land, but not sure if that’s a trend or just that they were do. Overall, another loss. A 30 pt loss doesn’t leave much else to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
