the 21-28 was the the total of DRBs, HC out rebounded them on the offensive side 15-10. Must have read it wrong, in which case I wouldn't have described the rebounding so negatively. No question Swords has to play better ...no other big is either healthy or has the confidence of the coaching staff....or both. No one else over 6 feet got a minute of action off the bench save for a couple in garbage time. I was thinking of the other NF front court player who is a round mound of rebound. Jazz Bond had her way with HC around the basket. Swords and Manis will have to carry us inside.

We certainly need Swords and Manis. Swords in particular can be hot and cold and we need her to hit those inside shots. Ezemma is also tough inside and does contribute some good rebounding and defense, but she does have some long cold spells in her shooting.

Which makes you appreciate Manis who can be cold like any athlete but often because the defense is keying on her which happened in PL play last year. With Smith, Avery, Swords, Ezemma, Pedi and Faulkner one year more experienced and having lost no significant contributions due to graduation, maybe HC can overcome Defensive keying on Manis better this year.
There was one sequence yesterday in the second half I believe where HC fired pass after pass around the perimeter with nobody breaking for the basket without the ball. I wondered if the starters were worn out so depth is an issue also.

Or conditioning is the problem - that falls on the head coach if true

Ezemma stats this season Fg pct .260 Ft pct .471 Turnovers/assists: 13/2 - we need her to step up her game ‘quickly’ !

If a Senior can't make bunnies, free throws, easy rebounds by now he/she aint never gonna do it. BTW, do college coaches teach FUNDAMENTALS? Seriously. E.g., ever watch Pridgen's free throw motion? Are Asst Coaches too busy doing other things? Seriously.

I am struggling to figure out how Crossports managed while you were gone.

We solved all the issues facing Holy Cross Athletics while he was gone?
