Birds earn their 20th win of the year in a game marred by many unforced turnovers. In a game where the Birds didn't shoot particularly well, they got after it defensively posting what seemed like more than 10 steals, which lead to several fast break chances. Unfortunately they didn't convert on most of them, otherwise the game would have easily been in the 12-15 point range throughout as opposed to 4-6 points for much of the 2nd half. Unofficially Alex Combs lead the Birds with 13 points and 7 steals.

 

As has been the case all year the Birds sealed the game at the line in the 4th quarter, leading to the final margin.

 

Last home game is tomorrow night vs. Lloyd on Senior night at 5:00, followed by the Boys' Senior night at 7:00, also vs. Lloyd.

I agree. Some sloppy play by the Birds tonight. Many unforced turnovers. Very surprised by the amount of those tonight. Also weren't hitting shots, but also passing up many opportunities to score IMO. And IMO, that has been the downside of this year's team on offense. I really feel they have the offensive capability and personel to score more points and they don't. They seem to "shut down" at times and not take the opportunities the defense gives them. Like they are scared to shoot or something. These girls have a ton of AAU experience and instincts and I don't think they use them all the time. We saw it early in the year, but it's not happening now.

Agree 100%. Often times it seems they just need to drive to the basket.
