Not many, unless they watched it online. I'll go with the positive that they got experience playing a close game and came out with a win. There were a lot of missed layups, but it was because they tried to drive and throw up an athletic shot at the rim quite a bit. The refs weren't calling many fouls either (the first one came 12:35 into the game), so it wasn't getting them to the line either.

They averaged 81 points over their first four games, never scoring fewer than 71, so I'll just chalk it up to one of those nights. Doing some research on the Blue Hose (yes, that's their name), they averaged allowing 46.0 ppg, and haven't allowed more than 55 to any of their first four opponents, so they probably had something to do with it as well.

Crittenden had a big 3 to break a 41-41 tie with two minutes left, but they also missed three of four free throws after that to keep Presbyterian in it until they missed a 3 at the buzzer that would have won it.

Sloppy game. Chalk it up to the break and the fact that most of the ladies are still getting use to playing together. Defense needs some work.
