Virginia Tech vs. Florida State Condensed Game | 2023-24 ACC Women’s Basketball
[Applause] Mario Gordon doing a good job of running this offense but jett’s been on fire from three lately and she keeps it up of the simels 27 points in that first quarter she started the ball game off well both of these teams want to play in transition so pace is not going
To be an issue but you got to get up on Georgia Amore one of the things with Georgia Amore is that she has been not as aggressive hunting shots in the first half this season and Kenny Brooks said she’s got to find a mix of [Applause] Both e who is a transfer from Michigan state has been a key component for the hokes this year who had to replace a couple of starters count it Sarah buetti has been playing with a sense of urgency in conference play She’s aggressive to the rim she
Takes Virginia Tech is going to move Liz kitney around they’re going to get her lots of touches in different ways and Misha goes to work on the Block this is something that Florida State needs getting scoring from multiple positions and Vetti is certainly capable five that’s a 63% clip excuse me
For three-point shooting me and I like what Virginia Tech is doing right away they’re going at Snoop Turnage on the Block and allowing miisha to score it but omaria Gordon another capable score hit to the rim out in transition really in that first quarter they owned it got
Some easy scores Gordon guarded by Kayla King one of the veterans on this Virginia Tech Team lson left open for a split second Amore was just a shade late getting there well anytime mhaw catches the ball off off the block out Beyond 15t range Turnage is going to play off
She’s going to double Mett continues to stay aggressive to the rim against a Virginia Tech team that is one of the best defensive teams in the ACC Amore off balance got it to go [Applause] some subs will be coming in at the next whistle timson working against kley and is able to roll it Inon her numbers are better in ACC games than overall that’s a terrific look Kit’s a good passer too she’s a great passer and and really good execution you
Know Kenny Brooks is so good at reading defenses and finding ways to put his team in position to be successful teammates just allowing the game to come to her [Applause] Jetty and Gordon both good ball handlers monster screen by tempson we hit our first timeout well the middle screen a
Roll that’s too far back for kitley but Jett gets a head start and gets an easy two well this has been Sarah buetti taking her game to another level in conference play that that dive is going to be there all day long you’ve got to guard Georgia Amore used to coach Brook
Wof with the Chicago sky and the ultimate competitor and teammate could knock down a three-point shot herself kitley gets her first points kley now has four and now some pressure after the made free throws Watson into tson good teamwork when the skip was open that heavy help is coming from that backside
Corner kitley a little bit of room that’s all she needed kitley right back to Georgia and then a wide open look look for eek in the corner for her first points of the day is allowing Virginia Tech to stay in this ball game Matilda e one of
The we saw this team earlier in the year against Arkansas and right now they’re a much more poised disciplined team on the offensive end for the seminal to find KK tson in the half quarter often times early in the season Brook wov having to draw plays up after timeout and Matia [Applause]
E now kitley little Fade Away good luck defending that was one-on-one coverage and kitley was able to go to work and they certainly needed her to do that with Georgia Amore on the bench in foul trouble Json drew the double a chancy pass in the middle but timson not only caught it but
Scored I see a lot of the the new players out there for Virginia Tech e hasn’t missed it’s what makes game planning for Liz kitley so difficult when you surround her by three-point Shooters as soon as you read the hell has checked in CU she doesn’t their
Stack on defense doesn’t get a lot of playing time cuz she’s playing behind kitley heck three-point specialist drives misses but the putb is put home by Olivia suo Florida state with the blistering 27 points in the first quarter just six so far in this one well
The Hoke’s doing a good job of forcing them to play in the half court not allowing them to get into transition and there’s a Zone Buster for you Carla Vios of her shots attempted this year have been threes she’s now hit a three in 15 straight
Games inside kitley back in the game and started the first 15 games of the Season transfer from UC Santa Barbara itly money and we are tied up Virginia Tech is not LED in this game Gordon with the answer gives you an opportunity to get that look St might have gotten away with a
Step or two kley turned around and had room I don’t think you need to set an on ball screen right there I think you just post up Mario Gordon if you’re some you K King has been silent so far offensively that was loud you can’t give her two looks
Nope Kayla King is one of the best three-point Shooters in the history of this program and she gets a second look nobody within 5T of her she’s going to knock it down with with Amore and kitley and King and last year they could just be the best version of themselves and
This year really having to figure out how to get everybody else involved oh great job defens know there’s a lot of adjustments they really are the only returners on this team and this is a Virginia Tech ball Club that’s really starting to find their way kley
Nice footwork hand on that and then Liz kitley I know The Scouting Report says she likes that right shoulder you got to try to take up the Space Baker where the rotation is going to come from finding her open teammates Kenny Brooks told us Carris Baker is one of the best three-point shooting players on our team and they got a lot of great ones again that one was a little bit too
Much on it but kitley was able to get the rebound as opposed to Virginia Tech 58% and they hit five of their eight threes what a differencea state trying to get things going their offense got stagnant working against the Zone in the second quarter and Gordon gets the butt for steals that
Lead to the break or you’ve got to get defensive rebounds that allow you to get out hey more to King to kitley fade away she’s able to go to work and finds herself some extra room Gordon again this time from range if they can build consistent three-point shooting onto
What they do in transition they will be so tough to stop that ball is tip Gordon frustrated that she couldn’t catch up to it meaw gets blocked by tison who has a couple of blocks today lats in again transition offense right back to kley who set the screen [Applause]
For meaw with some good work only white jerseys around her kitley turned around she was a little alarmed at how open she was Turnage did not score in the first half the jetti maybe she can get going again she’s all fired up after hitting that three well you had one drive by
Snoop Turnage a second drive by omaria Gordon you get the defense in rotation and Sarah offensive rebound gives her another chance to run the offense why not puts up the three and miss that one too more just Five Points one of five from distance but jetti they not contested are off the
Bounce and she’s shooting him with confidence kitly able to gather and score underneath so another 20-point game for Sarah Vetti who now has [Applause] 24 he was hit 17 threes in ACC games e with the answer teams are throwing different looks at her and she’s having to learn how to navigate making it looks so easy she does and I love Kenny Brooks’s comment to us about not taking her greatness for granted you know she does
As kitley decided to come back to use up her final year of Eligibility Amore has another year has not commented on whether she will come back puts it in left-handed there goes Georgia that’s the kind of trip you want to make if you can only spend a couple of
Days oh Lon that’s a good look two in a row to timson KK timson in the offensive flow found it difficult to get her touches early in the season now they’re finding her and she is so efficient you got to continue to feed her about 11 seconds difference between
The clocks Latson got blocked by kitley ball on the floor tinson came away with it and then scored over Liz what a heads up play by T Lon Virginia Tech went the last 2 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter without a point it’s allowed Virginia Tech get
That lead down to one and Sarah Vetti well she knew she was going to be open there was no hesitation y coach wof talking about her taking the right types of shots in the right situation and boy has she done that today and another bucket and a new
Career high in scoring today lson has been quiet scoring wise but have been so [Applause] Unselfish Gordon knocks down her own three it makes them so much more dangerous because every one of them can put it on the deck and get to the rim both of these team team very good at hitting three-pointers finally what state led by a dozen early on Waton blocked by kitley that’s her
Second rejection of the game [Applause] Advantage kitley working on timson there’s the fade away make now with 26 27 for buetti to lead Florida State there’s the left-handed Finish and they set up their offense but Jetty why not the understanding of the moment you want to sit inside the three I’m going to knock it down in your face Sarah Vetti what was a rematch of a national semifinal Liz kitley goes to work out of
The timeout but they need to get some stops they certainly haven’t been able to stop Sarah Vetti she has hit 31 points three times including in their last game against Miami Amore thought about the three instead put it up with the flip go to Stage is 56% as a team from the line
Aore backed it Up Knocked [Applause] Down not fouling right away lson blew right by King standing the moment yep saw the clear path took it kitley got fouled and was able to get the bucket home knocking down the threes so here comes Amore time running out on Tech kitley put it on the
Deck and then got blocked by timson by KK timson looks like she’s out of position gets back and recovers led by a career high 31 points by Sarah Vetti and they take down the hokes 8981
Florida State, ranked 21st in the country, took down the #11 Virginia Tech Hokies, 89-81 in Tallahassee. Florida State made 10 three-pointers while shooting 55.6% from beyond the arc.
