A matchup of size vs. speed....

So far Surry's got as many points as fouls (8) and Clintwood has six fouls as well.

Clintwood's running Surry out of the Seigel Center at the moment.

Agree about the speed - Surry appears very young and inexperienced against Clintwood's speed and pressure.

Don't understand why Surry doesn't go inside to the 6'4 Jones more often.

I also don't understand why she's playing 15 feet from the rim and taking shots from there. She's got at least 6 inches and often 8 inches on her defender...

I noticed that as well about Jones.

Clintwood just your typical SW Virginia team (Wise, Floyd, Gate City) - fundamentally sound, good ball handlers/shooters - they don't beat themselves

Unofficially, Surry's Brianna Jones has a triple-double.

Also noticed her leg/ankle braces - hampers her movement ability to a degree, especially running up and down the court.

Surry's trying to run with a team that it much, much quicker than them. It ends up with 3-5 fast breaks with more Clintwood defenders and Surry puts up a wild shot, Clintwood gets the rebound and fast breaks the other way. Surry's got a couple guards that want to run but their advantage, size, can't run, so they're not getting any offensive rebounds despite a huge size advantage. (They've got four players as tall or taller than Clintwood's tallest.).

Everything you say is accurate - wild shot for Surry or loses the ball - Clintwood is having a layup drill

 

[MrJ82]

Clintwood wins, 64-38

Congrats to Clintwood. They were by far the better team today. And congrats to Kayla Mullins, I saw her as a freshman and she impressed me then, so good luck and hope she gets a ring.

That being said, I wonder home much more of a game it would have been if Surry had kept themselves in a halfcourt offense? In the first half, Surry was using its size to keep it close and in the second half, Surry tied to outrun a quicker team. I still think Clintwood wins but it would be much closer.

Congrats, Clintwood.
