We lost to Reyer Venezia today. Stats are here:
http://www.gostanford.com/documents/2017..._12_17.pdf
Starting lineup changed: Kaylee, Alanna, Jerome, McPhee, Sniezek. I think Tara is just experimenting.Â
DiJonai led the scoring again--as she has in all three games in Italy. She was 4/10 but also 4/4 from the line. She also led rebounding with 7 (hurrah!) but also led turnovers with 7 (ugh.)Â
Anna Wilson had no points, 0 assists, and 5 turnovers. Sniezek had 0 points, 2 assists, and 2 turnovers.
Elsewhere in guard competition Kiana Williams seemed to do the best with 10 points on 3/5 shooting, including 1/2 from three and 3/3 from the line. She added 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, and 1 steal. Just today, she and Dijonai looked like the best guards.
Alanna at 5/9 seems to have acquitted herself well. Alyssa Jerome--the stat line is screwy. It says she was 4/8 for six points? In any case, she also had 5 rebounds, an assist, and a block, and only 1 turnover--so she did quite well for herself.
The amount of minutes is missing, so all these stats may be highly deceptive. I get the feeling that in each game Tara is featuring some different players to try them out and see what they can do.
In summary--Carrington and Williams and Jerome all seemed to help themselves today. As for the game, we led the whole first half, held tight in the 3rd, and got buried in the 4th to lose 77-62. I am sure Tara is looking at defense as much as she is trying to get the offense together. Putting a freshman offensive star on the floor who scores lots of points doesn't help us if she can't defend and allows the other team to get easy baskets. Now is the time to find out who can defend against players who are as good or better than the teams they will be playing against in the college game.
Two more games. The last one we will play against Karlie.
