Delaware vs. George Mason
Bob Carpenter Center
The Delaware women are playing a game that is microcosmic of their season. They are flashing off all of their youth and potential, but also committing errors that reflect the team's inexperience.
At the half, the score is 33-28 George Mason, largely in part to Delaware's 15 turnovers in the first half. The most turnovers they have ever had in a game this season was 23. At this pace, the Hens will shatter that mark and give up many unnecessary points.
Elena Delle Donne is about to have another double-double, with 12 points and 9 rebounds at the half. The rest of the team needs to pick up the scoring and foolish turnovers if they plan on making a comeback.
The game should not be as it is. George Mason is in last place, and Delaware is fighting for a top-five seed in the CAA tournament.
----
Less than 8 minutes into the second half, Delaware has caught a second wind, storming back to take a 42-41 lead. George Mason is now suffering from turnovers, and Delaware seems to capitalize on every one with an easy layup.
----
At the 8 minute mark, GMU has regained a one point lead 49-48. George Mason does have eight team fouls, which gives Delaware the one-and-one bonus. Foul trouble could be the difference in the final minutes. Delaware only has two team fouls. The Hens are playing cleaner, crisper basketball.
----
With 3:49 left, the Hens have a slim, 55-53 lead. They now are in double bonus, as GMU has surpassed ten team fouls.
----
Ariene Jenkins has stepped up in the second half with some hard-fought offensive fouls, one of which resulted in an Elena Delle Donne bucket. The Hens may be pulling away, going on a 5-0 run, Hens 62, GMU 57. GMU now has a single bonus.
----
The double bonus proved to be the difference in this one, as Delaware won 67-63. With a three-point lead with 6 seconds left, Elena Delle Donne hit a free throw in a double-bonus foul, sealing the victory for Delaware. George Mason had no chance at victory after Delle Donne hit the foul shot.
