Romero is a local product from Kecoughtan HS (Hampton, VA) It’s a team where everyone on the floor can shoot the three. 38% of the team’s total shots are behind the arc . Half of Gore’s shots are for threes. Fraley shots nothing but threes. (in conference play, only one shot has been inside the arc) Hamilton and Romero are strong offensive board rebounders. Scott is the leader of the team. She had 18 points and 8 boards when she played against ODU.
All in all, it’s not a bad team. But they are beatable. ODU lost by 18 on the road when we played Marshall. So I am glad that we get to play them again at the Ted. I want revenge.
Looking at the standings, you will understand how BIG this game is.
1. UTEP 13-1
2. WKU 11-2
3. Middle Tenn St 11-2
4. Charlotte 8-5
5. La Tech 8-5
6. ODU 7-6
7. Marshall 6-7
8. UAB 6-7
If we lose today, Marshall would take the six seed due to a 2-0 conference record over us. So this will be a key game for the LM. We want the bye. We are still in control of our destiny.
