Good points. The score says blow out, but there were stretches where AU couldn't miss and HC couldn't hit. The ball could bounce HC's way in a tournament match.

Look, I’m not trying to start trouble, but your play by play guy said tonight that Cecily Carl is the “second-best forward in the Patriot League,” behind Lauren Manis.
Dude, are you serious?
That he said it when we were up 20-25 points in the third quarter made it all the more surreal/insane.

I would classify Cecily as a center despite current trends to eliminate that position. 6'3" and powerful is a center in PL WBB to this old timer. She is the best center in the league I have seen. Lauren Manis may not be currently playing as the best forward in the league. We'd like to see her regain her prior form. Cecily played better than Lauren in this game and AU outplayed HC.

She played center in my mind all night...I didn’t see her stepping out to play more of a forward position too often. They were playing a four out and one in most of the night. |

The announcers on our games have consistently ignored the slump Lauren has been in, and continue to praise her play. Last night 3 of 9 from the field and 2 of 4 from the line (after going 5 of 10 ft vs bucknell) in 26 minutes (3 HC starters played more)

After her 5th (IIRC) straight missed free throw vs Bucknell, the camera clearly picked up her comment "What the f____?!"
F-bombs on camera show she was upset with herself and she may be putting too much prefer on herself to get more done. Others have made the same point. I hope she can relax a bit in the next two games and get back to her old level of play.
