HC successfully disrupted SK on offence by double teaming Neace on every possession. SK adjusted by running the high/low into Meier who had a big game. This was a nail biter until HC was forced to foul with a minute left. Both sides took issue with the officiating in this one with fans from both sides getting out of their seats and taking steps towards the court.

Nice wins Neers!

Win is a win. Especially against a top 25 team for the second time. Meier is playing awesome!

The refs. I think most people can accept refs seeing things differently than yourself. But all that's asked for is consistency, please just stay consistent for both sides. Throughout the whole game.

Is Henry Clay a top 25 team?

If you double team Neace, Meier is going to make you pay! I'm just waiting for Harmayer's shots to start falling, then any attempts to Neace away through double team will be futile! You can tell Harmayer has the stroke, but she has not settled back in since the injury layoff.

I didn't get to attend the game but glad to hear Meier had a big game. Sounds like they finally decided to throw the ball in to her That might be sks biggest challenge on the offensive end and that is ball movement

Ball movement has been much better lately. Meier has been scoring consistently now, both in the post and in transition. This is allowing Neace to relax and not feel like she has to carry the team. Double teaming Neace is forcing additional ball movement. Still waiting for Harmayer to get going though.

 

Through the first 15 games, I felt like Neace had to score 25 for SK to win. The team has matured to the point where this is no longer the case.

When Harmeyer is shooting well it makes SK very dangerous. She is inconsistent and really needs to work on becoming a more consistent shooter and continue to impact the game defensively,rebounding etc... Needs to learn to drive more often and settle less on 3's. Gilliam and Buckner can also take this team to a whole new level if they stay aggressive on the offensive end. When Gilliam hits her outside shots sk seems to steam roll opponents. I also heard that Henry clay doubled down on Meier late in the game and Buckner hit a big 3 that really put sk in driver seat in later part of the game.

When you have players do that then it's kind of pick your poison if you are the opposing team They did not have that threat in first part of year.

 

I give sk coaches credit for allowing all the kids the green light offensively

 

The biggest improvement I saw from sk the other night was ball movement. I understand they were equally as effective against Henry clay. Their defensive pressure has really picked up as well Good to see this at this time of year

I sat here and read this post quite a few times. I tried to resist the urge to comment but it's just too strong! First of all, I agree with the majority of the opinions in this post. However I'm kind of puzzled by the comments about Harmeyer. While I agree that I too would like to see her drive more and shoot some higher percentage shots when the 3's aren't falling, and also it would get her to the free throw line more (where she's shooting 82.1% BTW, pretty consistent I would say), she is shooting 38.5% from the field overall, 39.7% since coming back from the injury. She has had a few off nights since returning, but show me any player that hasn't had a bad game here or there from youth leagues to the pros. And she has been doing this from what I was told(shooting the 3's) per what she was told to do by her coaches. All and all, I would love to have a team with a starting 5 that each averaged 12.5 ppg. 5.5 Rebs and shot 82% from the charity stripe, along with playing decent defense, having good basketball IQ's, and being team players. So I guess my question would be what more do you want out of a 15 yr old sophomore?
