So, we won the team's first ever Euroleague game on the road at Riga, Latvia. I could not have told you exactly where it was until my dad explained it was one of the Baltic states with Lithuania and Estonia. We got pretty close to Russia up there! We are still not where we want to be as far as playing in rhythm as a team, but this was a big step for us. I set a personal best of 5 three pointers with this team in the game, so I was happy with that :)
We also won our last Italian game in Naples. It was probably the worst game we've played so far this year, partially because we struggle against teams that play a lot of zone (which they did most of the game...). I could not make even one three point shot (so the Law of Averages caught up with me last game!) but we still won, keeping our undefeated Italian League streak alive at 5!
Sunday we play at home against Milan, a team that is known for playing 30 out of 40 minutes in a zone defense, so hopefully we can get our zone offense working well with attacking it and knocking down jump shots.
Lastly, I had to share this picture. This is probably the smallest player in our league; she's a very crafty (sometimes dirty, but mostly annoying...) player as she is caught here red-handedly grabbing a defenders arm to then continue to flail and flop over to get fouls called (including this possession here). She's a good player, and I don't think she needs to stoop this low, but whatev... Thought you guys would appreciate it.
