How do you think the girls will do in the tourney? I believe they have a legitimate shot of playing on Saturday. The coach should study his game film from tonight very carefully because this was a game of runs. Belfry jumped out early and the quarter was half over before pc scored. After he subbed to a quick line-up pc went on a 16 to 3 run to end the quarter. He went back to the original line-up in the second and Belfry went on another run only this time he didn't react and Belfry took the lead. In effect it was like we stopped our own run instead of trying to put the game away early. He stayed with same lineup almost all the way through the third while it was nip and tuck and it stayed that way through most of the fourth. Belfry's turnovers picked up again late in the fourth when he went small for defense only. Perhaps he should have more faith in his small hustlers and their ability to frustrate offenses. I believe they would help more offensively if allowed to get into the flow of the game a little more as well. I am not sure what Rose Hill's team is like, but pc has different combinations that can be used quite effectively. The key is finding what works best in each game recognizing there are certain constants like Haley and Kayla Lowe. Tonight I really believe the margin of victory could have had a little more cushion but maybe I'm just a nervous fan who knows the longer we play the tougher the competition will be.
