**** Game Thread WBB vs. Texas at 3:30 on FS1 *****

[BoxsterCy]

Rare game on FS1 national TV for the Twister Sisters this afternoon, one of only two games this season with full nation-wide coverage. Good opportunity to tune in and watch the gals who are 4-2 in league play. No NFL today, the pro bowl doesn't count, so even you folks who don't ordinarily watch can tune in.

On the road against #8 Texas. Texas is 3-3 in league and just lost their senior star Nneka Enemkpali to an ACL on Monday in the game against Baylor. If you haven't been following along, we have starting guard Jadda Buckley out with a foot injury and she will not play today and may not again this season.

Texas should be pumped, we beat them at Ames when they were #3 and this will be their first game without Enemkpali.

I'll leave the game analysis to the smarter guys and gals, I mostly just watch and maybe toss in some color commentary. :smile:

Go State! Hope they can get the sweep.

Odd, Facebook promo features Claire Ricketts who is from Texas but is also unfortunately out for the year with a broken wrist.

Texas is playing really good defense which is a big part of this but we are back within 4 points. We are hitting the few threes we get a look at, Texas has done well taking that away from us.

Moody is play pretty good considering she has a bad wheel and you can see her favoring it.

 

[CycloneErik]

We have a real shot here!

 

[barometriclow]

Is Moody playing her way to one of our best PGs?

Fernstrom gets a 4th foul for standing still.

 

[barometriclow]

We need Bair to play some big minutes

This fat *** Jones just bulldozes over us and gets 0 foul calls. Ridiculous.

Brenda - love ya but enough about Enempali.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Go back and look at our last offensive possession. She just slammed into one of our players who was under the hoop wide open and got no foul call.
