Lady Zips B-Ball

The loss to St. Bonaventure was only four points and the win over Michigan was nine points. How many times in past years would you have expected both these games to be losses by ten to twenty points or more. This year's team I think shows improvement and like the men's B-Ball team will get better and better throughout the year. Expect good things from the women.

I was there. They were down at halftime by 4 points. Instead of coming out and getting fired up they were sloppy and the bonnies were hot. They gave up a tone of rebounds, fouls, and couldn't finish even on layups. They were down by 15 or 16 with a little less than 8 minutes to go. What impressed me was watching the turning point where they collectively said as a team "we're not going to go down like this" and mounted an impressive comeback. Kara became their go-to person and she turned into a beast. However, it was all too little too late. If they came out the second half like they did for the last 8 minutes, they would have crushed the bonnies. Also, they lost by 4 and 2 points were earned off a Kest technical. She said something to the ref about missing a call at our end then calling a tick-tack foul against us. I don't blame her because the refs were aweful on both ends. I think we could have pulled it out if the bonnies missed some free throws. I think I only saw one they missed in the whole second half.

To prove my point ....... Michigan who lost to the Lady Zips just beat the #12 Woman's team in Vanderbilt 50-42. Don't forget the Lady Zips beat Michigan 58-49. Michigan is not the Big Ten "Bottom Feeder" that some have called them and this victory for the ladies is really a quality win. I look forward to seeing the women have a very successful season. :bow: :bow:
