Ugly game but a good one for the Orange to get through. Niagara pressed the entire game which is really unusual. Getting leaned on, poked at, pressured all game is exhausting and exasperating to play against. SU coaches have plenty of film to target for improvements while also being happy that the women fought through it, kept their cool and worked hard to get this win. These types of games are always ugly. I hated playing against these type of teams, it’s tiring, frustrating, constant grind. We were sloppy - that Barnes girl from Niagara who doesn’t even start was extremely quick and we had a tough time keeping her in front of us. On rebounds we held the ball too long allowing the rebounder to be double teamed and our outlet passes need work. Georgia seemed to lose focus, be frustrated under the constant pressure and physicality until late in the game, we need a dialed in Georgia as a leader.

We actually shot the ball great - 60.3% fg% including 46.7% from 3 and 71.4% free throw %. Niagara shot 44%, 31.6% from 3 and 70.6% free throw %. Overall, we may have learned more about our team than if we beat them like we did teams in the exhibition game. Saw some very good things from some of our new talent in a pressure packed game. There is talent on this team. Just need to put it all together. Lots to work on still but the coaches now know much more from a game like this about our team, than a breezy win.
