Lincoln is shooting 2 of 12 from the floor (16.7%). It has 0 for 5 from 3-point range. Lincoln too willing to settle for first open look instead of working the ball around.

Lincoln had two
points in the paint in the first quarter and chucked up seven treys. Those numbers should be reversed, at least.
by David Just (Girls State... 3/1/2013 1:23:17 AM
Lincoln 4 of 19 on FGs and 1 of 7 from 3 point range. Lincoln has open looks from 3, but if the shots aren't falling, the Tigers need to find ways to get inside.

And of course Jade Colbert throws up a three on Lincoln's first possession. She made it, though. 17-13 Aledo.

Lincoln now 5-25 on FGs. Yuck.
by Matt Wixon 3/1/2013 1:30:30 AM
Aledo's 50 percent shooting would be more impressive if it would take more shots. It has taken 12 shots to Lincoln's 29.
by David Just (Girls State... 3/1/2013 1:32:06 AM
