Before we get into the particulars of the game, it’s really important to note that the Lady Cavaliers were not going to be an easy team to beat. If this one was played a week ago, there’d be the usual “shoe-in” sorts of analyticals, and some minimizing of the threat the Hoos presented to Tech. But they came off of a 2-3 series from last week where they defeated Florida State (currently #15), and North Carolina (currently ranked 20th).
Yes, they did lose to Pitt at home but that was a low scoring 4-point difference. The Wahoos were only 10-10 and 2-7 in the conference, but momentum late in the season for a struggling team can make them very dangerous.
