GDT: SDSU vs Denver 2pm Hamilton Gymnasium SLN

[OldHare]

The Pios are 7-7 after falling to the yotes in Denver 77-71. Their average is 64.7pts/game. The shooting percentage is 39.6% and 29.4% from deep. HC Woods is struggling to find traction entering her 5th season at the helm. The Pios will lack some length playing the Jackrabbits today. 6' Jordan Jones is the Pio who is on the preseason 1st team. The Pios are preseason 6th place choice in the Summit. Denver averages -4.3(31) rebounds per game. I would expect that to be a minimum today as SDSU averages 39 boards.. We will see how the rotation for minutes runs today. I would expect the starters to play similar minutes to Thursday. Go Jacks!!

Jacks starting slow. Some of the lazy passing carrying over from Thursday..

This is frustrating me more than the ORU game. Hoping Jacks move toward a Mile High thumping of the Pioneerettes as game progresses

Brooklyn with a key rebound to get Jacks back in lead

Fox in the Pio house drains trey to get Jacks to 20-14 lead w/5:56 left in Q2

Pioneers don't follow the Jesse Ventura Predator mantra re. "ain't got time to bleed," leading to game interruption for a bloody fingie

Jacks lead 31-22 at half

Mostly ugly first half. I still can't grasp how AJ can't get them to clean up the passing game. At least Brooklyn came to play, good first half for her, minus one poor pass (TO).

Jacks pushing the ball more this half - offense was pretty stagnant in the first half. Oh, and they seem to have remembered that Brooklyn needs the ball.

a few things come to my mind that seem relevant when speaking about the turnovers

1. AJ is very very clearly still developing lineups, developing players (for instance getting kallie back into rhythm along with a couple freshman), and working on playing rotations. this can have impact on players feeling in rhythm- which leads to some questionable passes

2. Paige is clearly an excellent player and when you take the whole package she is a big plus!! but she has always been somewhat loose with the ball, especially for a PG. she has way more turnovers each year than what is typical for a player considered to be an excellent PG. sometimes she makes a pass that is not a turnover but it puts the next person out of whack and leads to them getting a turnover. please dont get me wrong. i am a Paige fan, but this has always been the biggest negative in her game

3. Kallie is looking more and more like herself on defense and on the boards but she is still struggling greatly on offense- to the point that she is often throwing the whole group out of rhythm when she is on the floor. in the first half of this game, i dont know how many if any TOs she had but she was involved in multiple TOs for herself OR a teammate

all of these seem relevant. 1 and 2 are bigger than 3

Meyer shooting 100% today.

[Bozemaniac]

Blowing the doors off them now. I think the starters are done. Brooklyn Meyer went 9-9 for 21 points and 10 rebounds.

The Jacks depth is going to overwhelm a lot of teams in the second halves of games.
