No points so far in the third. Ouch
Well, as 3Qâs goâŚthat was a disaster.
Wow. It feels weird to say a quarter was worse than one in which they turned the bal over 8 times, but, damn, that was one of the worst 10 minutes of basketball Iâve ever seen.
About to follow up a top 25 road win by losing to 0-6 (in conference) Pitt at home.
Lost the 3rd quarter 24-6. That is uhâ wild.
Itâs not pretty. And with that zone the women should be hitting 40% of the 3s. They are wide open.
Opened game 2/3 from 3, 2/16 since.
And TO every other possession is back.
Edit - Missed 4 straight layup/tips on one possession.
Sometimes I watch this team and ask myself legitimately, âwhat do they actually practice during the week?â
Johnson is a competitor, man. Converts an and-1 after a successful full-court trap (with McGheeâ good vibes for these two). Then Pitt breaks the press and Johnson streaks down the court to make a block from behind.
So Iâm on a plane⌠so all i see is the boxscoreâŚ
Wth? Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde second half?
Did the teams switch uniforms between the 3rd and 4th quarters?
This is embarrassing for our teamâŚ

UVA basically just stopped hitting shots in the 2nd half. They got plenty of open looks, just nothing went in. The possession where UVA missed 4 in a row from within 2â of the hoop was Q4, but it encapsulated the half perfectly. And then Pitt had a stretch in Q3 where they hit everything. Part of it was Pitt getting great looks from good ball movement, but they hit the tightly contested outside shots, too.
Mo tried to will the team to victory at the end but didnât quite get there.
Just disastrous.
Edit - Also, Taylor left the game early with a knee injury. Stayed on the sidelines but didnât come back into the game.
Man I love the energy coach mox brings and still ahead of my âmake the NIT by year 3, make the NCAA tournament by year 4-5â goal.
But the playstyle is kinda atrocious. Streetball but to the extreme. Like Worse than a lot of the typical undisciplined offenders Ive mocked over the years in mens college basketball.
I thought a lot of it last season was Vallady but itâs kinda just the way they are coached. Relentless pushing the ball. and a lot of chucking.
Itâs like when watching Gertrude for a few minutes and you see he is just rushing a lot and excited but thatâs normal for a college freshman, especially one who is used to going. But take that and make a whole team, including upperclassmen, like that.
WBB has Carolina refs too
Mo is just blasting through the freshman wall into stardom. They found something with the pick and pop with Sam.
This is a classic âneeds to play all 4 quartersâ team.
LMAO that shot. Kymora is the chosen one
Noyan!
We were doing so good at avoiding foul trouble. Uncharacteristically good. Man, that changed quickly.
Cavalanche!
HOOS are up 70-61 in the 4th. Shooting 11-16 from 3.
