billikenbill Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Attempted to watch this game but only made it through one quarter. Wow, that was some bad basketball. A winning season is very much in doubt and even 10 wins might be a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 SLU went cold shooting the ball in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, 4-19 in the 2nd, 4-16 in the 3rd, and that was enough to put them in a spot where they couldn’t win. Also not helpful, SLU got unrebounded 49-38 over the course of the game. Tierra Simon did her part, 13 rebounds off the bench, but no one else had more than 4, need to get more out of everyone else. Most efficient scoreing came off the bench, Brooklyn Gray 12 pts on 5-9, Camree Clegg 10 pts on 4-8. Kyla McMakin got 20, but that was on 6-18 shooting, Peyton Kennedy 10 pts on 4-15 shooting, Julia Martinez 6 pts on 2-7 shooting. The other thing that needs improvement was Drake got 29 fast break points, SLU only 13 fast break points, that’s not going to work. Missouri comes to town Sunday, need to clean up those things.

Not saying I follow ladies’ basketball recruiting, or men’s for that matter, so I have no idea how they might be ranked but these players appear to be excellent additions to the program.

OkieBilliken Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 They will be fine. They will shoot the ball ALOT better. That was a tough team to play in an opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what the score line says, SLU looked completely disinterested and lost on defense. It’s clear they are missing Brooke’s presence under the hoop. They are going to have to figure it out quick. BrettJollyComedyHour likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Tillett was clearly unhappy with the defense in her postgame interview. It was the first thing she said, basically that Drake is a lot further along defensively and they need to figure it out quickly. I believe Stu's tweet at halftime said SLU had given up 9 uncontested layups in the first half. That was better in the second half but they had moments like when they let a Drake player get the ball right on the 3-point line - she wasn't looking to shoot but had so much time and space she took the 3 and buried it. I appreciate using Martinez and Calhoun to create havoc to pressure guards as they're bringing the ball up but once they got back into a half court defense last night, it was a real problem. Get through the initial line of defense and a disciplined, experienced team like Drake could find gaps with a little patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
