Shocks lose on the road to 1st place Redbirds 62-50.
I only caught the last 10 minutes of the game. Sounds like the Ladies gave a good effort. They were right in the game trailing 40-38 at the 8:00 minute mark, but a 14-4 run by ILS over the next 4 minutes put the game away for the Redbirds.
Shocks only had 5 turnovers which is very good, especially on the road.
However, ILS was only called for 5 fouls to 16 for the Shocks. I have now idea whether that discrepancy was real or not, but that was a big factor in the game.
Sheena, Michelle and Jessica had decent games with 11, 10 and 10 points respectively. However, the Shocks were only 1 of 13 on treys.
Holding Creighton to 58 points and now ILS to 62 in back-to-back games is a positive. However, were not going to win many games if we can't put more the 50 points on our side of the ledger.
Hopefully, that will change against INS tomorrow. Drake beat Evansville by 21 at home to move into a 6th place tie with the Shocks.
Shocks really need to win against INS who are trying to adapt with their Coach Jim Wiedie suspended for the remainder of the season (and, in effect, fired as his contract that is up in June will not be renewed).
