Man, that was ugly. Carter fouling out was the turning point in OT3.

Um, hooray for the win, I guess…?

I have fun guessing which play we’ll run each possession:

  • Ballhandler drives recklessly at the basket
  • High-risk pass to the interior
  • Desperation three with the shot clock running down
  • Chaotic loose-ball scramble

Good game so far. Hoos hanging tough despite the Hokies shooting twice the amount of free throws

Hokies appear to be flopping in the 4th.

And we are fading down the stretch :dotted_line_face:

So the ACC calls the women’s games just like the men’s in Blacksburg.

Why are we still fouling

This was ESPN’s WCBB Bracketology coming into the weekend.

Losing today to VT is not going to help at all.

So I was at this game. Strange runs and struggles on both sides. At times, both teams seemed to be getting excellent looks but unable to knock them down. Then there was a stretch were both teams were taking terrible shots and also missing them.

Despite the foul disparity, I thought it was a pretty fairly called game – they were mostly letting them play, but calling reach-ins, and we kept doing that.

Couldn’t stay in front of Wetzel, couldn’t make the shots we got.

Edited to add: Offense got stagnant for long stretches, too. Stretches where the only players moving were the PG and a screener, everyone else standing. Tech pretty consistently moved better without the ball.

Gotta be it for Mox I’d think. Call Tammi tomorrow

Sadly, I think this is the case. I think we’re cooked. This wasn’t a literal must-win, but it was close.

7 games to go, we probably need to win 5, and we’re only going to be favored in 2 (and @Cal will probably be a push). We need to win everything except @Louisville (which is hopeless) and then we need to win 2/3 of ND, @Stanford, and UNC, all of which we’re going to be solid underdogs.

Yep, and all the hokies around me were convinced that she got fouled, too.

When you get one like that, just be happy and take it.
