Re: Uni-gdt

nice. so what changed between the halfs? Seems this teams bread and butter is defense again. Where did we get a lot of scoring from?

I wasn't able to listen to the first half and part of the second half. What's your impression of adjustments made, things we did right/wrong in the second half?

The difference was the Jacks finally hit some shots and UNI turned stone-cold. Waytashek is turning into the one consistent scorer on this team. Eide hit a couple shots,but she needs to provide points game in and game out. Can't go off for 25 every third or fourth game and not be a factor in the others. I like the Strop-Lingle rotation in the post - it gives a good change of pace between an inside and outside kind of offense. If the Jacks can get consistent scoring from Megan,Ashley and the Lingle/Strop combo they will be fine. They need that though since Dietel and Boever will not be big scorers.

Sorry,i was working in garage and came inside for score updates(didn't get much work done),since i was at my computer, i posted the score also.Didn't see much,other than they really looked good on defense.....UNI struggled to score against it.Waytashek really scored at will it seemed.All played well,as the score indicates.

Re: Uni-gdt

Oh yea,if i heard JJ correctly we shot less than 33% first half(8-26 i think he said),JJ said we hit 71% from the field the 2nd half, only missing 6 shots the whole second half.

Re: Uni-gdt

I was at the game. UNI is a good team. Jacqui Kalin is a terrific player...a 6th-year senior. Better free throw shooting and it wouldn't have been as close. Some nice moves by post players underneath against taller opponents. It wasn't exactly 8-anainst-5 in the first half...but it was close. Officiating was better in the second half. Defense also tightened up in the second half, including some trapping zone.

crjack; Were there many other Jack fans with you? I see that attendance was just over 1000

There was a nice group of SDSU fans behind the bench...50-75 I would say, including a young woman with an infant son and a baby - coach's family, I assume. They also recognized former UNI standout Katie Falco right before the start of the second half.

Told my dad the same when he updated me on the game. Waytashek is quickly becoming as good as tabbed when we got her (top 100 recruit) and our go to player.

Dietel got robbed on a traveling call,she must have lost confidence after that(her shot was good).I like Dietels rebounding and Gabby's tenacity playing defense,always pressuring and harassing the point gaurd.She always seems to get blocks or steals with her quick leaping ability.Both players are valuable assets to have even though they aren't big scorers.

Re: Uni-gdt

FYI -- congrats to Megan Waytashek for sharing in her first Summit League Player of the Week honors. Well deserved. Was listening to the UNI game on-line while watching game stats and they actually gave 2 of her points to Lingle. So she should have had 25 -- but a win is a win and it was a great team comeback at UNI. Eide was missed in the first half with her foul trouble - it is important to have her on the court. Also, sounds like Lingle and Dietel had questionable travel calls on them in the first half. Strop had some big hustle plays and Gabby is solid as the floor general. When we get some production in side - it really opens up the outside shooting. And our defense has been pretty good. Excited to see them play Penn State - will be tough!
