I don't have a great feeling about this game. I do think we have a decent chance maybe about a 35% chance to win.

I expect to see Harris to start with Paulk splitting minutes. Once again, I think the rebound battle will be the critical piece to keep second chance points low.

EP vs Bristow could be a fascinating matchup, talk about opposites colliding. Not sure who else we put on her. Should be an epic game.
 
Neutral or home I think we win this by 10 or so and would be favored. Probably comes down to a basket or so tonight for one team or the other and I think it's probably ours to win at the end. Downside is we are not exactly road warriors so far this season. Plus up is the league is weak sauce and our remaining schedule is just not that daunting.

You are definitely more optimistic than me. I'm interested in where you see a matchup advantage.

More a feeling that TT just isn't that good and we are maybe due to not suck when not playing in Hilton. We are missing one starter and not two and Williams has stepped up her scoring. Also ties into the league being historically weak. Game is ours to take but whether we do is TBD.
 
So Good having AJ back.
This past week gives serious hope for beating Tech.

Interesting tidbit:
Since conference play has started Paulk is shooting 47% overall and 50% from 3-point range.
While it's not a lot of shooting, but as long as the defender can't be comfortable leaving her it's enough. I have to think her greatly expanded number of minutes has got her feeling more comfortable.
 
Go Clones. Jada Stays Hot, EP is a rebounding Nachine, Audi plays well, Clones by 7 on the road.

70% of the Starting Line ups fot both teams will have started games for the Cyclones.

Good 1st. Looking Sooooooo much better. Hopefully Addy has a chance of coming back sometime.
 
Someone stat savvy help me out. What’s the average # of fouls called in a women’s game vs men’s??? It feels like every women’s game I watch, there are multiple fouls each quarter that aren’t called in men’s games.

12 fouls called in first quarter
