A quick glance at some of your stats and I've learned that Lauren Prochaska is the obvious player to keep an eye on. I see you start 4 seniors and you can shoot some 3's. What else should I know about BGSU? What do you want to know about Tech?
Welcome Tech fan. Let's see. BG is the #1 shooting FT team in women's college basketball. We made 16 three pointers in one game in our season closing game. All 5 starters are capable of making the three but Prochaska, Pontius and Steffen are the most potent of the shooters. We are not tall. I believe all of our players are shorter than your post player.
BG is currently on a 11 game winning streak. We like to push the ball but I know your press will give us problems but if we have an open three we will take it. Pontius shoots the ball from about 25 feet out.
And if you are watching the game on tv do not be surprised by the sea of orange in the arena. Expect over 3000 BG fans at the game and that doesn't include the fans for Lauren Prochaska. Her hometown is only 22 miles away and she said the whole town will be at the game to see her play. I am sure others will give you more details on our team but those are some of the main ones.

What is your main message board over there?
The main board.. or at least the one I visit and post on most frequently .. is gojackets.com. I hope we'll see more discussion about the game as we get closer to Saturday but since Tech just fired Paul Hewitt as men's bb coach, that topic is dominating the board right now. I'm concerned about your 3-point shooting. That's what killed us vs. UALR last season in the first round of the NCAA. We were playing from behind all night in that game. Tech's strengths are defense and rebounding. We'll press you the entire game. We also have a pretty deep bench so that we always have fresh legs in the game. We've played a pretty tough schedule this year (14 games vs. 10 teams playing in the tournament) but I don't think anyone we've faced plays the same kind of game as you. Should be a good one.
If they didn't see it on film it's now all there in black & white. can't coach/teach height but also can't measure heart. BG has lots of that. See what the press & future brings. Hope it's a good present.
Just have fun knock it down
