U T MARTIN GAME DAY THREAD (WNIT)

[Red Don]

Stats @ the end of 3 Quarters of Play.  Husker Ladies lead by 16, (as high as 20 pts)!

 

 

[redsteve]

Their big - big that is subbing for Perry is just shoving us around...no skills at all. Literally shoved Issie out of bounds...no call.

 

We have picked up the pace this half.......more like our old selves.  They're not great shooters when pressured at all.

The biased  announcers are astounded by our bench.. they can actually play basket ball.... amazing

This is a nice confidence game to shake off the postseason jitters and strive for a deep run in the tournament.

Amazing that we are being so productive on  offense without Sam scoring.  Clayton and now Brown are providing scoring.

They have focused their defense on stopping Sam and Issie

Then you would have missed Matt and Jeff.  They are in excellent voice today.

[redsteve]

Sounds like we play at 5:00 tomorrow

 

Think I saw Porter in street clothes. Couldn't tell if she had a brace or whatever on her leg.

 

FloHoops was a good way to watch...sorta like BTN+.  Kind of expensive, but what the hey...got my stimulus money...need to spread it around.

Will be able to watch at least two more NU games...maybe all of them including when they're in the Championship game  :)

Always nice to finish a season at or above 0.500.

[redsteve]

We shook of the nervousness and got it in gear.  Tenn M had some fans there.   They went home sad.  But we're happy.

 

Nice performance from the whole team...Ms Brown...awesome...she was feeling it !.

Heard it too.  I was a little surprised at that.  Five UT-Martin players entered the portal and were not available.  It looks like the only one of their Starters that didn't play today was Dasia Young.  They tend to play their starters a lot so those transferring must be mostly bench players who haven't contributed a lot during the season.

 

Quote

• Sophomore Dasia Young averaged 12.7 points and 6.3 rebounds as the only UT Martin player to start all 25 games. She averaged 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in the OVC Tournament.

 

 

Star player, Chelsea Perry has been hampered by a hip injury, missing several games.  36 mins today & 20 pts (highest scorer in the game.).

 

Quote

• Senior Chelsey Perry, OVC Player of the Year, averaged 23.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. The 6-2 forward missed six regular season games. She had 10 points in 14 minutes in a semifinal win over Tennessee Tech, and she did not play in an opening-round win over Eastern Illinois.

 

Paige Pipkin, 32 mins, 0-2 on treys.

Quote

• Junior Paige Pipkin (7.5 ppg, 2.8 rpg) hit 29-of-71 threes (.408).

2 turnovers in 28 minutes is as impressive as the 4 of 7 from three shooting.  Well done WB.
