Bright and early Redsteve.  Well done.  My only expectation is to be entertained.  GBR!

[Fastbreaker]

Can the women keep it closer than the men did last night.  I have my doubts.  The Wildcats are second in the country in forcing turnovers and we are not known for ball security.  Their guards are athletic, quick and experienced. 

[All About the Corn]

So are we going to suit up and play more than seven today?

Would sure help to get Porter or Brady (or both) back today.  I wonder when/if Cayton will get cleared to play any time soon.

[All About the Corn]

21-19 NW at quarter. Porter is playing and has a 3.  NW is way quicker and we are turning the ball over too much. 

[Cazzie22]

Bad passing is getting us in a hole. NW is so quick.

[Red Don]

Can't we Fake a pass, sort of like a jab step?

[Red Don]

Matt "Kate Cain is playing a great Game"  (but I wish she could make those short shots!

34-34. Brown back to back threes created by offensive rebounds.

[Red Don]

You know, I don't know why Whitney Brown doesn't have a scholarship? (I think we have some to give. )

Anybody notice we seem to play better without constant substitutions?  Just clean up the turnovers and it will be close. Our rebounding is helping considerably.

 

Hitting some shots...it's going to be mandatory from here on out.  Cain is making her presence known

NW makes their shots;  Seems like we don't!

Stewart needs to hit shots or she is a liability.

Burton and Pulliam are a nice pair of guards for NW.
