WBB at UVA Feb 9

Putting this up early because tomorrow morning is busy. I won't get to watch most of the game; so I hope you guys can bring home a winner.

The Ladies travel to LOLUVA Sunday at Noon. The game will be on the ACC Network. The ESPN Predictor gives the Hokies 62% chance to win; but I think that assumes Micheaux will play. The VT website lists Petersen as the probable starter.

Virginia is 12-12, 4-8. They beat us in Blacksburg 73-68 on Jan 16 in a game we should have won. We picked a terrible time to have a really bad game. Since beating us, UVA is 1-6 in their last 7 games.

Lattimore and Johnson led the scoring for UVA in Blacksburg and will likely be a big factor tomorrow. Fortunately 6'7" Lauterbach is still not playing much; but at 6'4" Lattimore is going to be a problem for us without Micheaux. Actually she was a problem when Micheaux played.

They only shoot 42% overall and 31% from three. We are going to have to figure out how to protect the paint without losing the outside shooter in this one to have a chance. Johnson could have a Burrows-like day against us if we leave her open all day.

They won the rebound battle by 10 in Blacksburg; we're going to have to do better tomorrow if we want to win this one. We need to shoot better also; we were 6-20 from beyond the arc in the last game. We also had 17 turnovers in the last game. We need to do better.

This is a winnable game; but we have to play better than we did against Syracuse.

LETS GO HOKIES!
