Ladyjacks by 10
Looks like they run two bigs if I'm running the stats right. 6'4 and 6'5.Pilotgirl said:
12 seed vs 5 seed Georgia Tech...Hemisfair region
A story as old as time.djsfw57 said:
Considering the records of some teams with higher seeds, SFA was never going to get any respect as long as they play in the Southland.

Georgia Tech is a Jeckyl and Hyde team, losing to BC and Clemson who are near the bottom of the ACC. They are 0-3 against NC State and Louisville, the top 2 of the ACC. They're very good at home, which is why a neutral site is good. Tech split with Wake. They shoot below average from three (31.8%) and are an average free throw shooting team (68%). Overall, they shoot 42% from the field. They have two starters over six feet (6'4", 6'2") with 6'5" and 6'1" on the bench. Ladyjacks will have to defend the post well and shoot well from the field to win this game. Their pressure D needs to produce more than the 13 turnovers Tech gives up per game.
Well that's not encouraging. Are we slated to run into a Tech underseeded buzzsaw again?INiedrauer said:
Ugh. I hate this matchup. I watched them blow a game they should have won (and lead by double digits) against now #1 seed NC State in the conference tournament. I would love, love, love for the women to find a way though.
We're gonna need a good 3 point game too.Pilotgirl said:
Watching the GT vs NC State tourney game right now. Once GT tech coach made some changes, they started playing some defense and made a little run. Both teams play slower than we do.

Their bigs are not overly athletic it seems. But 6'5 is a big height difference.
I was at that game. It was a heartbreaking loss. I can still feel the sting. This year will make up for it.RichieVan said:
I was getting my masters in 1993 when we hosted the Midwest regional. Vanderbilt had 6'10" Heidi Gillingham. We played swarming defense and doubled the post and did fairly well inside. We lost 59-56 and Vanderbilt went on to the final four.

She was a GA at SFA while getting her masters degree and then moving into the assistant coach job. Played both volleyball and basketball at UT. Head coach at Purdue, Auburn, and the women's national team. Excellent resume'.djsfw57 said:

SFA has a sneaky good record for producing high level basketball coaches out of our coaching alums.SFAJack_76 said:She was a GA at SFA while getting her masters degree and then moving into the assistant coach job.

Even Bearkats could do this one, since you kept it 10 or under. Wouldn't even need to take off their shoes.SFA Jack Fanatic said:
Let's do a little Ladyjack math...
- Arizona State beat SFA by 9.
- Arizona State beat Arizona by 2.
- Therefore, Arizona is 7 points better than SFA.
- Arizona beat UConn by 10.
- Therefore, the Ladyjacks are 3 points better than UConn and were good enough to have been a Final Four team.
Does anyone see any holes in my math??
