Langhorne and Coleman exact revenge on Yellow Jackets, 75-59

Round one of revenge weekend resulted in a knockout of Georgia Tech, 75-59. The team played with emotion and heart, the first time we have seen that since the MSU game. It was a physical game, and you could see that half the team was ready to throwdown with Georgia Tech. Now's it's on for Round 2 and a rematch with North Carolina.


Positives

  • Langhorne. 18 points and nine rebounds. She got the ball and took over against the smaller Yellow Jackets. She missed a few easy lay ups, but I can't complain when she is aggressive with the ball.
  • Coleman. Looked to be on a mission with her shots and rebounds. Her defense looked solid and she was full of fire.
  • Sa'de. For the first time in a long time, she looked the player we expected when she transfered from UT. She attacked the lane and used her speed to her advantage. Let's hope this is a turn in the right direction for her.
  • Toliver. she shot 6-of-9, eight of which were inside the arc. She has had a ton of nice passes that sometimes even surprised her teammates.
  • Team's aggressiveness. We went at them every chance we got including when they pressed.
  • Defense. We did a good job of cutting off penetration and frustrating GT all game long.

    Negatives
  • Mental Mistakes. Several times we didn't realize the shot clock was running down and forced up bad shots.
  • Inbounds plays. For some reason we can never inbound the ball easily under our own basket. We had a 5-second call (I think it was a quick call) and several times looked confused.
  • Turnovers. A ton of mistakes that GT did nothing to create.
