I didn't even think it was an effort thing that led to the loss, really, because we were +15(!!!!) on the offensive glass and we fought hard to cause turnovers in the press in the fourth quarter. So many easy layups were blown on our end, which could be pressure. But also, we played exactly to the scout and got punished for it. Drexel shot 29% from three in the regular season, and then today they were 11-for-19 from 3, with so many banks and side-rim rolls in. Those are the shots that hypothetically, you want them to take from a defensive perspective because they're weak at it. Just a few too many bad passes on our end. Drexel had five players with 4 fouls for most of the fourth quarter and we still couldn't fully attack them.
And also, the broadcast said that the #1 seed hasn't won it on the women's side since 2017? What gives?
If anything, I think losing today keeps Langford here for us.
