Here's what I liked about this game. The Ramblers never let ISU get a big run started in the second half. Better yet, going into the last 3 minutes, Indiana State was trying to cut the lead to 6. Tough defense resulted in a nice stop. Sheryl did not call time out. The girls did not slow down to see what the bench had to say. They didn't hold the ball and then look for a "good" shot with 8 seconds left on the shot clock. No, they just played Rambler basketball. After the defensive stop, a long heave down the court netted an easy fast break layup. After another stop they came down fast and Lyndsey Booker fired up an open 3 that put the game away. No messing with free throws down the stretch or last second strategy. They just went after it and seized the game when it was there for the taking. I love to see that kind of self-confidence instilled by the coaching staff.
It was nice to see so many men's varsity players there rooting for the women. And there was something there at the end for them to learn from.
Those are the things a good coaching staff teaches. THAT is a change in culture.
I stand by my previous statements that Porter could learn a thing or two from Sheryl.
