Shocks with a pretty good effort in holding a good Creighton team to 58 points which at home should give you a good shot at winning.
Unfortunately, the Shocks struggled mightily all afternoon with their half-court offense and were rarely afforded an opportunity to run. They consistently found themselves forcing or rushing shots as the shot clock wound down and had several shot clock violations.
Still they had an oppurtunity after pulling to within 7 at 49-42 with 8:44 remaining in the game. Creighton did not score on its next six or seven possessions. Unfortunately, the Shocks also failed to score during that lull by Creighton. They had 2 offensive rebounds by Jaz in that stretch so they had 8 cracks at making it a game. The missed 5 shots and turned the ball over 3 times. Creighton finally hit a trey at about the 3 minute mark to break the scoring drought and pretty much ice the game.
Bottom line is that the Shocks were simply a little overmatched in this game.
I was impressed with the hustle and play of Michelle Price and Jazimen Gordon. I think these two ladies have probably made the most progress with their games so far this year.
OTOH Chynna has hit a wall and is really struggling. Also Haliegh shot seems to have abandoned her for now.
