re: WBB: LSU 109 vs Kent St 79 - Final (Williams with 42 points...Lady Tigers improve to 3-1)

I have gone back and watched the last few minutes of the first half and Reese was guarding Shumate. That doesn’t seem like a good matchup for us because it draws Reese out on the perimeter and not under the goal to get rebounds.

Shumate hit one with Reese in her face, but Reese did lose her once on a cross court pass and couldn’t recover quick enough.

They switched Reese to a different player and then that player hit a 3. They did take Reese out with 48 seconds left in the half.


So I don’t know. Maybe it was just Mulkey saying “your defense is terrible.” But I don’t recall Shaq ever being tasked with trying to stop Allen Houston from shooting 3s, so I’m not sure why we want Angel chasing ball handlers out past the 3 point line.
