Final Four Is Set

If Caravel plays the way they did vs Howard. then St. Thomas more will upset them. I was not impressed wit that game at all. Then again i was not to happy with the st thomas more and hodgson game either.
There was two games yesterday where in the last minutes of the games when it became the team vs the clock became a problem for me. There were teams that would use there fouls to stop the clock and put the bad free throw shooters on the line. And just because you won doesn't mean you did the right thing. one team had 9.5 seconds on the clock and had the ball to run the clock out. the other team was running what looked to ab soft press. the offensive team tried to break the press when all they had to was stand and hold the ball on there side of the half court line. you only need 10 sec to get across. you had 9.5. so little stuff like that- that could of changed some games or maybe not! But it showed some of the issues of educating our kids with how to compete with-in the game.. a bunch of player walked out of those games thinking that there coach was unable to perform.. Sad to have kids to think that but i understand
 
After watching the quarterfinal games this weekend the quality of play for girls basketball in Delaware is fair at best. If the teams that took the floor this weekend are the best we have to offer....it's just not a good look.
 
I just don't understand Howard yesterday at all, they had a chance to knock off Caravel but their strategy was just baffling. The had the height advantage with their big's. So why not go hi/low with the two? Some of their passes was just mid blowing Warren is good but she still gave up major height to Howard center why not make her work on defense to slow her down?

Slowing the game down in the second half cost Hodgson, after STMA second half adjustments. I agree with Onlooker7 Ursuline or Conrad will beat Caravel because of better coaching.

Agreed. Ursuline, Conrad and Sanford are definitely head and shoulders above the remaining 5 teams skill wise and basketball IQ. Maybe it is coaching, but it definitely isn't quality basketball.

I agree the play by several of the teams yesterday was not their best for sure. But I don't think that means that they shouldn't be in the final 4. That is sports you have a good game and sometimes you have a bad game. I think a lot of things are a factor at playing at the Bob for the first time this season. Nerves, the crowd, the design of the gym vs high school gyms. They play at the BOB 1x a year and if they are lucky 3x a year. So I think we will not see the same type of play by any of the final 4 on Wednesday.

But Delaware girls basketball is in trouble- go check out a CYO game and see what is up and coming and then report back. You will really have something valid to say then.
