I was a little worried about this game. I hate all the talk about streaks. 22 in a row blah blah blah, this better not be the team to break the streak blah blah blah. Those kind of streaks never last forever so I'm kind of glad it's over so the pressure is off the team to keep it going. I was also worried that the team had not played a game for over a week. They always seem to do better when they are in a regular rhythm of playing a couple of games a week.
Ok enough excuses - The aggies came to play and definitely wanted it more. Unfortunately when the Lobos did get open, the shots just didn't fall. Lobos also allowed too many uncontested layups (on transition). Dionne had the ball just taken out of her hands under the basket a few times which seemed to take the team by surprise.
The aggies were extremely aggressive. Now being aggressive in basketball is good, but I think there were times they went a little too far (and got away with it a few times) I saw one of them grab Dionne by both shoulders and just push her away. (no foul) When #12 took Amy down - that was a cheap shot plain and simple. It was not an ordinary foul where 2 players get tangled up, it was not hard nosed defense, it was deliberate and it was right in front of all the Lobo fans and bench. :mad:
The good news is that there were lots of Lobo fans there and we were loud and vocal and kept cheering them on to the end. We'll get them in the Pit.
Go Lobos!!
