Attention: ACC fans

The ACC is loaded with talent throughout the league along with good coaches. The GaTech game today won’t be our only close game and playing in this league will only make us better come tournament time.
The concerning part was GT was coming off a 11 day pause and was playing short handed. GT is a quality team and we were damn lucky to get out of there with a win!

Sometimes a pause hurts a team and sometimes a pause helps a team. In average GaTech only plays 7 players so I don’t know how much that hurt them. They have a good team and a good coach luck and hustle was in our side today. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out for Tech.
 
All 5 GT starters were all healthy, and the 2 coming off the bench were in their normal rotation. Cuba played virtually the entire game and gave no indication of tiring.

One observation that I have is with Olivia and Liz …. Yes, Cochran played great and grabbed those 13 rebounds, but Cuba grabbed 16. One of the disappointing aspects about this team is failing in boxing out, and we struggled to keep the tall Italian from exerting her dominance. Robinson is only 5’8” tall, but she exhibited how great positioning can neutralize a much taller lady like Cuba.
 
I will gladly take Olivia's 13 rebounds on Sunday. She went against basically 2 bigger posts and held her own. I know Robinson is very good on blocking out, but Olivia gets credit for bodying up on those bigs and letting others scoop up the rebound.
