Lady Griz are looking good. Beat Florida State 60 - 49. They just may have found a point guard. No, not a black inner city point guard, but somebody who is a better than average ball handler. She really never was able to play a lot this year, but when Monaco went down with an injury, in stepped Michela Schmitz.
Michela played one heck of a game at point guard. 25 minutes played, turned the ball over only 2 times against very good pressure defense by Florida State. To top it off she hit two big 3 pointers.
Holly Tyler also had her best game as a Lady Griz. She had 27 points on 11 of 15 from the field and 5 of 7 from free throw line, in addition to 13 rebounds for the game. She was named MVP of the tournament.
Katie Edwards was the only other player in double figures with 10 points and was also named to the all-tournament team.
Lady Griz did shoot better today against a better defense. They shot 42.6% which is an improvement over yesterday. But, with the defense that Florida State put on, 42.6% was a very good percentage.
Lady Griz did turn it over 17 times, but only 5 times in the second half.
Montana's defense, especially its' zone defense, is getting so much better now. Held Florida State, who has been averaging over 70 points a game, under 50. The Seminoles shot only 33.3% from the field, and they turned it over 16 times.
Lady Griz outrebounded the Seminoles 39 to 27.
Now, it is off to Utah for the Lady Griz. Hopefully, they won't get blown out like they have been the past few times when playing Utah in Salt Lake City.
