That was bad. I personally have done the stop move when being harassed by a player trying to poke constantly at me and the ball from behind while bringing the ball up court but you stop so she runs into you but you don’t and can’t stop, back up and stick your butt out to create the contact.
Regarding Dyasia, I think she wanted to take good shots which were harder to come by. (she still took 15 shots),. Tech played good defense and held us over 16 points below our 78.4 scoring average. They were guarding her closely and our advantage seemed to be in the paint where we outscored VT 28-24 despite our missing at least 4 or 5 point blank layups underneath. We defended the perimeter poorly (they shot 41.4% from 3) while shooting very poorly ourselves from the perimeter (22.7%). Only Dyashia (3 for 8 -37.5%) and Georgia (2 for 7 - 28.6%) even made a 3 in this game.
It appears that Clara Strack from Hamburg was under recruited for a top 100 player showing VT as the only power conference offer besides Binghamton, Marist, Buffalo, Niagara, St Joe’s(Pa) and Albany as her other offers. I imagine Marilena from Greece and Izabel, a Michigan grad transfer, must have been prioritized
