Mentioned in other threads that Norfolk State had a good team last year, won their conference and went to the NCAA's. This year, so far, not so much. They have lost by 40-50 points in both games versus teams that might be considered talent peers of ISU. Look for another 40 pointer win.

I'll prepare myself for the freak out posts that Audi is scoring too much.

Barttorvik has this as a ~20 pt win. I think his metrics still are riding a lot off of last year’s performance for Norfolk State. But I still think they are probably better than the last two teams we played.

Not sure I'll take the time to watch, maybe catch 1st half replay later. Got too much stuff to do today. Mid-November is my annual fall cleanup race to beat last yard waste pickups. I'm 55 bags into the leaf work.

Note: I live downhill and downwind from a portal that opens each year to the oak tree universe. And lost a day Saturday doing the vacant house next door (not like the bank that foreclosed on it will do it!).

I’m going to be looking for a quick start for isu…something we haven’t seen much of

Totally agree. Need to manufacture some Q1 urgency so we’re not pounced on by some tougher teams coming up.

Canned food drive today supporting United Way of story county!

We are so much better when AJ is hitting shots

 

[bozclone]

Ball movement is really good so far

The three-ball is falling

Passing has been great today

They also have some pretty tall girls and Audi is holding her own really well sometimes in a 3-1 environment down low. A lot of poise and even more strength than last year, I think.

Fantastic pass from Audi to Hare there

 

[theshadow]

24 three-point attempts in the first half, and only 4 FGA for Crooks.

Hope that satisfies the resident coaches here.

 

[GTO]

So nice having Hare back in the lineup this year.

Brown sneaky close to a triple-double: 7 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists.

Brown sneaky close to a triple-double: 7 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists.

She’d have been one rebound closer if Audi hadn’t pulled that last one away - for her own double double.

 

[Dale]

And she gets it! First triple-double since Nikki Moody in 2014, it looks like.
