Lady Titans down 18-15 after one quarter. Were down 18-8 but a 7-0 run cut the deficit. Both teams playing hard. The Warriors play well together.
Masks required for fans while inside Calihan. New entrances are a definite improvement.

I am trying to follow this on live stats and it seems like Bernard Scott’s rec. program tactics are back. It seems like we are subbing every 1 1/2 to 2 min. Does not seem like the players can get a flow going. We did manage to get up by about 6 but then we broke our own momentum.

Halftime score: Warriors 36, Lady Titans 33. U-D had done a good job closing the first quarter and starting the second, and were ahead by six at one point before Wayne State went ahead again.

The Titans are playing like a team still building chemistry, while the Warriors are playing like a good team that brought five starters back. Which they are.
45-39 Warriors with 4:56 left in the third.

We had a 7 pt. Lead with 2:04 to go and couldn’t close it out and couldn’t close it out. Stats say we had 44 pets. Off of the bench.

Did anyone go to the game? I was there, got to talk hoops with motorcitysam. I thought the Titans got better as the game went along but things fell apart in the last two minutes when they pissed away a seven point lead. Wayne St. player put back a missed shot with less than a second to go to tie the game in regulation. We’re not big and don’t seem to have any 3-point sharp shooters on the squad, but they generally handle the ball well and hustle. I thought it was a decent crowd for a WBB exhibition game, I’ll guess 400 fans. Many MBB players there, sat next to Antoine in the bleachers for a bit.

I was at the game. It was about what I expected. It sounds defeatist to say we took Wayne to overtime, but that is a better outcome than we have had in a few years. I saw some positives and some negatives, but overall it is clear Coach Collins has succeeded in assembling a staff and a team that will represent the university.
Wayne played like a team and acted like a team on the sideline. The Lady Titans are still getting to know one another and Coach got her first chance to see her players in a game situation. I did not mind the substitutions. It was interesting to note who was on the game at the end versus who started. It was an exhibition and I am sure the staff wanted to see different combinations and players playing in some different situations. The overtime game gave her some good data going forward.
I think that Coach Collins has earned the title Head Coach, NOT Interim Head Coach. I do not think it is fair to the program, or the Coach to continue to saddle her with the Interim title. She has done everything she has been asked to do. I am not advocating a 5 year contract or something crazy, but do we need another year of stagnation? How effective can you recruit with Interim in your title? Are we going to go 3 years to start rebuilding a program? What we have done so far is put a team on the floor starting from nothing. That is not the same as building a program. For what she has done logistically to get us to this point should be rewarded with a new title and at least a one year contract.

What do you mean a good part of the crowd was wearing masks? I thought masks were required according to a statement by Vowels.

What do you mean a good part of the crowd was wearing masks? I thought masks were required according to a statement by Vowels. For the most part people were wearing masks, but I would say perhaps 50% were wearing them improperly with their nose uncovered (hence the remark about being able to actually count noses for determining attendance at the game). I would say at least 20% took their masks off at some point during the contest. There were student athletes in the bleachers watching the game not wearing masks. There were small signs at the entrance doors indicating you had to wear a mask, but no PA announcements or scoreboard messages reminding people of the need to wear a mask in a proper fashion. There were no ticket takers or ushers at this free-admission game, not sure if it would be their job to ask people to put on a mask or wear it properly. As a practical matter, I guess the University can stipulate a mask requirement, but there is no practical way to enforce the policy.
