Monday afternoon's game is a really fine showing for the Lady 'Cats. Addison Martin having a great game. I Understand Utah Valley may have beaten Tarleton. The Ladies are dominating them.

Sorry I missed the game, but from everything that I have seen and heard it must have been a doozy. UVU isn't top competition in the WAC this year, but we did improve our margin of victory some from last game even, from 71-50 to 73-46. Keep it up ladies!!

Ladies lose to Cal Baptist in a poorly officiated game, bad on both sides but clearly worse for the Cats.

Ladies didn't seem too upset about how it was officiated. Some of them seemed to enjoy that the refs let them play. They did a great job of coming back and had a chance to win at the end. An older and more experienced team probably would have gotten the win. We are VERY young as a team which bodes well for the future.

True, but they pushed an shoved a lot more than our inexperienced younger team. There was a clear tied ball and they called a foul on us. Julie talked to the refs several times and complained pretty frequently. But, we got away with a few things as well.

Julie talked to the refs several times and complained pretty frequently. But, we got away with a few things as well. The refs ran out of Moody faster than I had seen any others do in a long time. Our problem last night was we got out hustled again, even as bad as the refs were. Running around flat footed with our arms up in the air only gets us so far. I hope this improves as these players get older, but our older players aren't doing much better. We are getting faster than we were, but some of those girls last night simply ran rings around us inside and they hits 3s even when we did defend them. They backed off shooting 3s though when we were in their face before they had a chance to take a good look and set their feet. I also counted at least 5 times we simply left a player completely by their self to double team another player, then they simply passed the ball back over to the unguarded player for the clear basket. We came back into the game late, but had to play from behind the entire game. It seems that way a lot when we play teams that are on our level or slightly better. Maybe next year will be improved.

They scored so often on simple roll plays leading to open layups. They could sure shoot threes as well. But points in the paint and second chance points beat us. I kept waiting for us to stop the drives to the basket but our ladies don't take as many charges as the men. The refs knew they called a loose game and did indeed bail out quickly. At the 10 second to go mark, we did not run a play and what happened seemed entirely a matter of chance. Hopefully we will learn.

I am going to completely disagree that we got out hustled. We came back twice from double digit deficits but couldn’t quite close the deal. Dorcas Wu is an All-WAC senior and she hit the clutch 3 whenever they needed it. Plus, CBU is very, very well coached.
Is it possible we played as hard as we could but just got beat? I’m tired of hearing that the women don’t play hard. That’s just dumb. Do they make mistakes? Yes they do. But they play hard.
However, we have had several games with a chance to win at the end and can’t seem to find a way. Ah well, something to work on.
You realize that not a single recruit from the 2019 and 2020 classes is on this year’s team. Think about that! No juniors. No seniors. 10 of our current 13 players never played a minute for ACU until this year. But we have eleven freshmen and sophomores for 2-3 more seasons and a stellar recruiting class coming in. (A transfer big would be good, of course.)
We are not very good right now. But the future is looking up.

We play hard, but we still got out hustled and out coached. Yep, our youth plays a big role, but the other facts are still relevant.

Feel like we’ve been very so-so the past few years without much progress or flexibility in style of play.

Women down 36-29 to UTRGV at the half and they had switched all the momentum their way.

We look awful against teams that press us. If I was an opposing team, I would press the whole game. We look clueless as to how to break it.

Strong fourth quarter pulls Ladies past Tarleton. A lot of great defensive play by Bella and Aspen played really well late. The Team sort of lost its way then came roaring back in the last 10 minutes.
