She obviously had a really good game tonight verses George Mason.Today she scored her 8th double-double wuth 14 points and13 rebounds. She was everywhere and for a shooting guard, what more can you ask for? The other night, she didn't shoot well, but her defense and tenacity around the basket made her a game changer. And yes, she is certainly a game changer.
Everywhere you looked she was getting rebounds, disrupting shooters and trying to make things happen. She has a way about her-I guess they call it the "it" factor. Because she can break a game wide open, especially if she is hitting the 3 consistently. If she can have a hot hand in the tournament, we will be in the NCAA tournament. I have said this before, when our shooters and guards are playing well, and if 3 of our shooters-Tarik Hislop, Precious Hall, and Kirby Burkholder are hitting, not even Delaware will be able to beat them. The problem comes in like it did in the last Delaware game when they fail to score for several minutes, giving the other team opportunities.
So let's look at the next game, Drexel. Here is a team that I truly thought we should have beaten the last time around at home. We lost by two points and Mershon was absolutely money. I really felt we gave this game away because we were up at one point in the game by 10+ points. We need to take care of business at the DAC on Wednesday. The problem is that we have always had a hard time playing well at the DAC. Have no clue why, but a win here will be a huge confidence booster going into the tournament. The game is at 7 PM on Wednesday.
The Tournament
No matter what happens Wednesday, JMU cannot finish lower than 3rd. This means that we are likely to face one of three teams-Towson, W&M, or GMU. The semi-final game will be against Drexel. We have to assume that whoever wins will go on to play Delaware-but again that is assuming UD beats the teams they should beat. Here is what time the games will be and the bracket.
