To get back to our winning ways, we have to defend better and hit the boards. If we do that, we will beat the Cyclones by 8.
Gioya is apparently the key on every night.
We will beat them if they left that funky play back in W. Va. We certainly
need Gioya to show up and think she will.
Why do you think this? I certainly hope so, but admit I'm never certain what we will see from an individual player.
Is their something about the two teams' strengths and weaknesses that should give us special confidence about Gioya in this one?
Do you think this or are you saying I think this? Right now, I do. It could change.
I think this, largely for the reasons that you stated in your most recent post. Gioya is what sets this offense in motion. She creates the space. If she is moving, it gets everyone else moving. It creates holes in the defense.
We have shown that we can play long periods without Kay Kay, unfortunately. But, we really only have had a couple of situations in which we survived without Gioya. In one case, Maddie became Gioya. But, we have to have someone get the motion going.
If the women play defense as well today as the men played last night, ISU will take a beating just like WVU did.
