SU vs Pitt (83-65): Thurs Feb 27, 7 PM


Great win tonight! I think I have seen almost every game this year and one of the things that was a difference maker in this game versus some of the big losses this team has experienced, like this past Sunday versus Duke, is the fact that Syracuse was able to get out on the fast break and score in transition.
This requires some athleticism and speed on the perimeter, and of course, rebounding. This team struggles to score against athletic, fast perimeter players that play tight person to person defense. I have always felt that transition basketball can produce some easy buckets against tight defense if you can get your scorers in positions before the defense can set up. Shy Hawkins really showed how her speed and athleticism can help this team moving forward. Sophie Buckets is really coming on as a Scoring option and her future looks bright. We will need a speedy point guard who can keep defenses honest with dribble drive and 3 point shooting, will really help this team next year. Our biggest need for next year will be getting some Bigs in the portal...But this season still has some life....Go Orange....
 
What impressed me was SU having 26 assists tonight! Moving the ball, looking for teammates, valuing each possession thus limiting turnovers is a great path to follow. Nice team win!
 

Great win ladies and coaches!​
