Why 5:00? As a favor to Tiffin, Who has a 3+hour drive after the game and their first league game on Saturday. We have played Tiffin 5 times, the last was an 80-31 game in 2022. Miami is 5-0 in these matchups. Both teams come into this game with a 1-1 record. Tiffin won by 7 and lost by 7, both games against Big ten branch campus teams.
I would guess we will concentrate on the starters running the offense and sharing the ball and playing hard on defense, and then get them out of the game and give the rest of the girls some valuable playing time.
Freshman Emily Bratton played 27 minutes, the most of anybody, and led the team with 14 points and had 3 assists and no turnovers. She did not play at all vs Xavier. Our 5 starters ( Jurjo started ahead of Gonzalez today) played only 10, 10, 13, 15, and 16 minutes. Hennessey Lu Brown and Amber Tretter were both outstanding today. Both scored 12 points on 5 of 7 shooting. Tretter added 2 rb, 2 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 steals. Brown added3 rb, 2 assists and 0 to’s. This was a great opportunity for the players who have not been playing as much to get some good game action.
