What the heck has happened to Michigan State? They look TERRIBLE. Getting clobbered by Michigan right now.

How in the world did Maryland lose to Washington State? If not for that, their only loss is to Notre Dame. They should be ranked in the top 10. And they are so YOUNG. Big 10 will be a much better conference with them in it. Recruit wisely.

That second half was mind boggling. I was hopeful after the first half, really hopeful. And then it was like we never quite came out of the locker room. Rachel looked super-frustrated in the second half.

Just horrible news for Jess. Feel so bad for her.

We did miss quite a few easy put-backs. Not just one person, but several of them. Fatigue indeed. And having Sample in foul trouble always seems to hurt us. I give props to Emily Wood for playing scrappy again. Wish that 3 would have gone in for her. I have a feeling once she hits one, she will be on. It was soooo close. Good that Em got the rebound and put-back.

Let's hope this isn't anything serious. http://journalstar.com/sports/high-school/basketball/girls/hac-girls-roundup-shepard-leaves-fremont-game-early/article_7fe3f08c-37d5-542a-81a6-4209c0b16e65.html

I was thinking that, too, redsteve. If we can't have a couple more players back within the next week, Washington may need to burn her redshirt. Didn't we have a similar situation with injuries when Lindsey Moore was a sophomore? I seem to remember being very thin off the bench, and some players not 100% having to play a lot of minutes. Seems like this happens every 6 years or so. We didn't see it last year because we only brought in a couple of players, but when we bring in several recruits at a time, we seem to have stress reactions.

Can she get minutes down there to their liking? Good question. Sounds like they signed some good guards for next year, and they will have plenty of returners that have played significant minutes. How do you take two scholarships away from that group? Or do they pay their own way? And will they actually beat people out for significant playing time? Could be a lot more drama in KState's future. Couldn't happen to a nicer school.

He's KState's problem now. Probably enrolling as a grad student so he can be a grad assistant on the bench next season.

You just made me laugh out loud! Between that comment and Texas getting beat in their bowl game, I'm feeling much better!

Wow, they called 1 foul and 1 turnover on her. I counted 5 walks in the first half, lost track in the second because I decided they weren't going to call it anyway. Saw numerous slaps from her across the arm. Are they scared of her?

I correct myself. Zahui is good at one thing - FLOPPING

We absolutely need to get some players healthy. We cannot play both the other team and the refs with only 7. Missed some easy shots underneath. Zahui is a terrible player, refs won't call anything on her.

Zahui B. slaps, shoves, walks, but Theriot gets called for traveling and Sample gets called for a foul where she never touched anyone.

I'm sensing some homer refs here in the second half.

Looks like Zahui B. travels about every time she gets the ball.

What about Esther?

And maybe some extra padding under the uniform just in case she falls again.

Wondering if a cortisone injection and a toradol injection 20 minutes before game time might help a bruised tail bone.

From what I've read on their board, they don't have a scholarship for either sister, unless two others are released from scholarship. Could be an extremely awkward situation in the making. Maybe Lanie winds up somewhere else.

Just read over on a KState board that Kaylee Jewel Page has a KSU email in the school directory. Not sure KState has a scholarship available for her, maybe she's a walk-on.
