Very unlikely considering the way they have been playing the last two weeks.  The defense that carried them the first part of the conference season has abandoned them.  It like they play better with 7-8 players rather than 10-11.

[redsteve]

The other teams have caught on to shutting down Sam, as their key to slowing us down. It has worked.

She is our most prolific scorer obviously.

 

So the rest of the squad must pick up the scoring slack.  Issie has gotten back into the flow...need someone else to score 10, 12 plus ...consistently

 

We still have the height advantage tonight...will play a factor... if we chose to exploit it. 

[12dozen]

We had 24 turnovers last game.  On pace to exceed that tonight.  Bad passes are made worse when the recipient doesn't go meet the ball.

Tried, they just have the men’s game.  Of course, I might not have found it.

[Husker22]

I just got home, we really have 12 turnovers already?

[redsteve]

Just don't feel any enthusiasm or confidence. What's going on?

I think you can choose the WBB game.  Look at the scroll towards the top - "Live" options.

Most are intercepted passes.

27 - 16 Northwestern with 4 1/2 minutes to go in the half.

[12dozen]

33-24 at the half.

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats: (We're really out-rebounding NW, but killed by Turnovers & we're getting out-shot in the paint, )

 

Haven't seen Bella Cravens yet!    (Thanks FB, hadn't noticed that.  )

So where is Bella.  Just have missed that.

[Fastbreaker]

16 turnovers to 1.  Surprised we are as close as we are.

Says 16, but my addition comes up with 14.   Too many, regardless.

Doh!  Probably a couple of team turnovers (shot clock violations).  

[redsteve]

24 points in the first half ??    We're shooting 28%  Sam  0-8   

 

Come on girls, time to fire up and get tough. We're close enough to make a game of this thing.
