With all the negatives of the first half we are up three. If Brown can stay out of foul trouble (and you know they will attack her) and provide offense. We will be ok. Brown is going to have to be smart.

Nice block by Hansford on that shot late in the first half. Really important to go into the half with a lead.

I usually only see Carver when ISU is playing there. Everytime all I can think about is how terrible of a design that arena is. That lower section is like 60% stairs 40% seats.

I will take a 3 pt lead at the half given how that half went.
Given how the half went, with us shooting great from 3 and them shooting poorly, we needed to be up more.

This game is a perfect example why i can hardly watch womens bball. Officiating.

Ticky tack, touch the hip, vertical on a shot attempt - thats a foul.

Knock someone down, hit them in the face, just hammer them - play on.

Its like the MORE force applied, the LESS likely to be a foul.

Ive seen probably a half dozen body check type impacts and none of them have been called. WTF is wrong with officiating in the womens game?

It's honestly hard to watch based on what you wrote.

At some point she is going to start feeling comfortable and is going to go off for about 4 threes in a half. Tonight would be great.

Stats all favor us other than turnovers. Plus up on FG%, three % and up quite a bit in rebounds. All and all I'd take that 1st half if offered before the game started. Fouls are tied at 10 each.

We did lose the who the worst free throw shooting teama t the half 4-1 to there 4-10. Woof to both teams on that .

No one works harder than Red Panda during college basketball season.

I honestly wonder how much "work" Red Panda does in a day. Does she still need to practice? Does she do other gigs during the day? Does she work on new things for her act?
