PRACTICE REPORT: GS Women's Basketball Pleased About First Week's Intensity
10/9/2017 3:30:00 PM | Women's Basketball
"I think we built as the week went on, finishing with a great practice on Saturday," Coach Drown said. "We do a lot of scrimmage situations on our Saturday practice, and I thought we had great intensity. Our defense really got after it. I thought our defense took our offense out of things at first, but then our offense responded to that, which you really like to see. When you see people like Troy, Lafayette, Little Rock, they get out and get after you. But I thought we got better offensively too."
The Eagles made strides on the court in Coach Drown's second season, improving from 11th place in the Sun Belt Conference to sixth with a 9-9 mark in the league. One of the keys that Coach Drown thinks will continue that upward trend is team chemistry, and he's excited with what he's seen so far in practice.
"We have really good energy with this group they have great chemistry," Coach Drown said. "I love the competitiveness that they're playing with. If they keep doing that, we'll get better at the execution stuff. When i went home Saturday, I was pumped. I think we had a great week and it ended on a high note."
Georgia Southern will hit the court on October 31st, at 6:30 p.m. for an exhibition contest at Hanner Fieldhouse against Fort Valley State. Fans can get a first look at the team, however, at Hoops Fan Fest on Wednesday, October 18th, at 6:30 p.m. Season Tickets are also on sale now - catch both the men's and women's teams all season long!
