When you absolutely positively 1000 percent must have a defensive stop and what you get instead is your best player fouling out while conceding an AND 1, brother that is an L.
73-67 the final. A turnover coming out of a timeout late in regulation while up 1 was also a self inflicted mortal wound.

Only 1 player contributing off bench is a concern. Hope we can get healthy by conference schedule

A couple points. It wasn't lack of speed on defense that cost the game. The ladies got back in position for the most part, but it was the inability to stop Mercer's post players once they got the ball on the low block. Their drop step and up and under moves befuddled our bigs, if they could have blocked one or two of those shots, it might have altered what Mercer was trying to do. Second, the officiating was sketchy at best. Twice Z was shoved out of bounds on the baseline holding the ball, and both times, after hesitating, the official just signaled Mercer ball once she hit the floor. It was the hesitation that really got to me....you have to think about it before making the call? Give me a frickin break. It's not just like she fell over on her own accord. It was a nice come back to at least tie the game, and actually go ahead for a brief moment after being down 9 in the 4th quarter. Just couldn't extend the effort into overtime.
