Thursday was a tale of two very distinct shooting performances between Florida Atlantic women’s basketball and Middle Tennessee State University, as the Blue Raiders were able to turn a good offensive night into a 83-73 win.
Taking over the inside of the FAU paint for much of the game, the Blue Raiders managed to score 38 points when they were close to the basket. Led by guard Brea Edwards, who had a 23-point night, four Blue Raiders registered double-digit scoring totals.
“They’ve got talented post players. They're strong, they're physical and if you don't get in the right position they're going to bury you down low,” head coach Kellie Lewis-Jay said. “ I don't think we did a good job obviously of playing post defense, of limiting their touches. When we doubled teamed, it was late. We didn't necessarily take them out of anything they wanted to do.”
