Kreager and Childress aren't going to let you in Murphy center unless you have a mask on.

Small price to pay if you can score a ticket.

Loretto keeps shooting like this, no one is going to beat them. 1st half against Clay Co. shooting over 60% again from the field, again. 

Thru 1.5 games: 36 of 59 (61.0%) from field; 11 of 22 (50%) from 3pt; 14 of 17 (82.4%) from FT line.

Well they are 0-3 against their next opponent lol.

I think Summertown's physicality is too much for Loretto to overcome. They just beat you up for 32 minutes.

Yeah, that's my point, though. You've got to do something to keep them from shooting that well. No one is going to lose putting up those stats.

Watching N.G. the past two games, I am confused by 2 things.

 

1.) Why do they wait until late 3rd to early 4th period before pressing?  They have a very effective press.

2.) Why haven't I heard of Anderson?  Has she been this good all year?  If this is her norm, how was she not in the Miss Basketball discussion?  She was the best post player in the A state tourney and it wasnt very close.  Super impressed with her.

 

Great showing NG!  Hold your head high!

 

Now...    lets go, Loretto/Summertown!

Cloudland did a pretty good job with her during the regular season.  We shut them down at our place and we lost a double digit lead to lose 51-50 at their place.  I think north greene just matched up better in this tournament.  Cloudland has no size and depends on high % of outside shots whereas north greene had the length to cause problems

She’s played like this the past two seasons and she has one more left.

I do believe she saved her best two games of the season for Murfreesboro.  I think she’s also figured out how good she can really be.

Some coaches do not press because it leads to foul trouble and wears down the players. If you do not have depth it can make for long nights.

Understand that, but gotta pull all stops when playing the best teams at the state tournament.  Was a great game, though!

#1 has been running through my mind all day. Not sure why they didn’t. 
 

#2 she has battled some sickness and lost a ton of weight early in the preseason (not a good thing) and really hasn’t played that well all year. They’ll be back because they’re loaded with juniors and a few sophomores.
