The team appears to get along, play defense and has shared the ball very well. The schedule to this point hasn't been overwhelming and there are two big games this weekend. That being said, Coach Tammi Reiss has come in and changed the culture.

The single reason for the loss yesterday is the team's best player was a non factor. Had her contribution been even minimal the team would have been up by 10 points going into 4th quarter. I'm not judging her. She could have been under the weather or maybe being from Providence she choked up a bit knowing the intensity of the rivalry. It's over and time to move on. As for PC being better last year, the record certainly doesn't support that. I was a big fan of Daynia's. In my opinion, the team knew she was a lame duck and quit on her. Now, even with a short bench they are playing hard every game for their jobs, as well they should.

This year is a gimme year. Not her recruits so as long as they play hard and there is no scandal no expectations really. They’ve beaten some very weak teams and couldn’t beat some average ones. Interesting that today against a providence team that is weaker than last years providence team they couldn’t get it done. Dania beat a good providence team for the chip last year at URI after which things deteriorated fast once we got to conference play. This is still a weak defensive team overall especially at the perimeter. Providence blew by rhody defenders anytime they wanted. Thought Vargas had an outstanding weekend offensively but still can’t defend. Dale nowhere to be found , too many mistakes on d by Moffitt and Jones and contributed nothing offensively which will probably be the case against bigger more athletic teams. Brown gives a lot off the bench with offense but too small to defend real post players. Jorgensen has a hard time staying on the court. Rest of the bench really not getting a chance to show anything and probably the reason players like jones and Moffitt look gassed half the time and don’t defend. Said last year with the right coaching it could have been a 500 team but this loss I will put on the coach . Game was there for the taking but poor utilization of the bench and she might have to look at some different combinations to be competitive in conference. Will be interesting!

Providence did a good coaching job of disrupting us, we have a very thin bench, and a couple of players had sub par games. Based on their usual production. Have to give some credit to the opponent. Down the stretch they were able to take advantage of a new college player by using their highly rated and very good center to score. Brown can and will play defense. Baskerville can score on anyone.

Coaches and players alike worked hard and played hard and may have run out of gas in a 2 day tournament. Very normal. There aren’t pets, favorites, or anything else. Effort and participation by all.

On top of this it was one of the worst refereed college games I’ve ever witnessed, and all I do is watch college basketball. The 5th on Jorgensen was non existent she made a great block. While I would not necessarily call it one sided, the refs were all over the place and inconsistent on what they were letting players do and many could never figure it out. Players on both sides were very uncomfortable. Many on the PC team weren’t allowed to play offense, ours were t allowed to defend.

Based on your constant negative reports, you have something else in mind and it’s not rooting for the success of this program. This is night and day from the fiasco I watched last year.
