John Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Wow!!! Is one word what this group of young, untested with little experience group have accomplished so far. The game was an exciting, back and forth game from start to finish. Columbia was a very good test as they had a big and athletic front line with some very good underclass players. Onwuka hurt her ankle in the 2nd quarter and we were wondering who was going to step up when UB was behind in the game. To their credit the entire team stepped up and were only down a few points. We received great improvement and games from Christie, Walters and Adeyeye who up to this point have not shown frontcourt presence in either scoring or rebounding. With the bigger Columbia frontcourt it was going to be imperative that they showed improvement in both scoring and rebounding especially with Walter’s 14 rebounds and nine points. The one turning point of the game was the defensive pressure UB applied in the 2nd half forcing 24 Columbia turnovers and getting them out of their offensive rhythm. Onwuka came back from her injury but still seemed like it bothered her. Hall had an outstanding game with 16 points shooting 4-8 from 3PT line. The player all of the UB faithful should come out to see is freshman Dyaisha Fair who has been outstanding in all games. Her court awareness,shooting and ball handling are something that can’t be taught. In some crazy thought process maybe it is a blessing in disguise that Hemphill has been out of the lineup as players like Christie, Walters and Adeyeye are getting playing time and comfortable and experience. Another positive is this coaching staff and it appears Coach Jack definitely seems to have the pulse of this team. What started out as a very uncertain forecast for this team, it looks like a very positive step forward and I hope more fans and the general public come out to see this team. Go Bulls!!!! P.S. Hope the men follow the lead of the women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotherobot Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 They look awesome. Columbia was playing great and they took that game away from them. Stanford is going to be a great measuring stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
