This team has really played poorly the last 4 games in about every phase of the game.

This is so true. Hallie looks worn down; she must have lost 10 lbs. since the start of the season, and she's slender to begin with.
Even in the win over Nebraska, we looked down.

Not to jump the gun, but even if we see a miraculous comeback in this one, that'd be about it for this season. Do you see a step up next season?

Finally got ESPN3 back -- but now there's no audio.

This is a freaking nightmare. I watched the first half at the gym and it looked like Marist couldn't miss from the arc.

Just heard a Cyclone Power chant there, that was nice. Need to start hitting shots.

Anyone trying to defend the performance so far from ISU by saying Marist is a good team......I will bet you a brand new $100 bill Duke beats them by 20+.

Nobody is defending this performance. They are playing like they did @ Missouri or @ Colorado. The reason those were close and this is not is because Marist is actually a good team.

That doesn't mean that Marist isn't a good team. Duke has (1) superior athletes to ISU (and Marist) (2) Duke will press full-court to bother Marist (which is not BF's style, and (3) Duke is playing at home.
Marist is an excellent team. They are exposing ISU. Great coaching job.

Marist is a good team but there's no excuse for getting worked by them like we are. Even the biggest apologists can't deny that.

We're not dead yet, we just got to start hitting some bombs

We're making a concerted effort to get the ball in to Prins down low on pretty much every possession now to try to rack up the fouls.

Getting the ball down to Prins looks good, but I just wish she would stop missing everything from 2 feet away from the basket.

Someone besides Bolte has to shoot the ball. Also, why don't our posts ever kick the ball out when they get a rebound? It would be different if they actually made some put backs but we usually end up missing them anyway.

Yes.

Of course, the kick-outs would probably be intercepted, the way this game is going.

Look so weak inside. And even when they're going up strong, they're missing chippies.
