Hope our game is the most compelling (since I'm not in Nebraska or Chattanooga), but even if I can't watch it, maybe that's better since I'll get to listen to Matt & Jeff without distractions!

E$PN has an excellent article today on Zeros.

 

"I don't know that you can ever control Lindsey Moore," said Purdue assistant coach Christy Smith, herself a standout point guard at Arkansas. "She is just a great player. You try to stop her from doing one thing -- you stop her from shooting the 3, she's going to drive on you. Now you try and stop her drive, she's going to pick you apart and find the open players. She's a very, very good point guard who is able to do it all."

The 9-0 FT differential is keeping us in the game, since Chattanooga is shooting lights out.

 

27-30 with 3 minutes left in the first. 

 

Jordan gets fouled on a shot attempt.  Miss, then make. 28-30.

 

Empty possession for Chattanooga...

... and it's now tied at 30-30 to snap a 4-minute Husker FG drought!
