South Dakota vs Iowa State

[C.John]

Noon tip, 14-5 Iowa State half way through the 1st qtr.

Adriana Camber with two early 3's, a steal but also 2 fouls.

Good start. My vote for PG is in, Johnson, although Durr is doing well also.

A couple 1st qtr observations:

Bridget, Adriana and Emily's 3's have all looked effortless.

South Dakota is a quick team.

Too many whistles and mental mistakes to get into a flow.

22-19 State

Game seems too close for comfort. is SD really that good?

 

[C.John]

Good thing Coach has played everyone but Claire, because the ref's love their whistles today (justifiable for most of the fouls). May come down to a game of attrition. lol

SD returns most of their team from last year, that went to the NIT, plus they have a 5th year and 6th year seniors that came off red shirts returning. The ridiculous whistles in this game are what is the problem IMO.

these are big 12 officials for this year....oh boy

And now Claire is in the game.

someone needs to put glue on Mere's hands

Those quick fouls on Camber are not helping the situation. Adriana looked pretty good out there before the fouls and her wing span is a plus on D.

Rich Felllingham on Madison's charge: "That was pretty weak". It's like him and I share the same thoughts.

On the bright side, the three frosh are getting lots of playing time.

 

[C.John]

26 combined fouls in the first half...yikes.

 

[runbikeswim]

Wow, SD players lower their shoulder and move Kristin back a couple feet, no call....weird officiating. I feel pretty good though. It was 3 frosh and Em, and they kept ISU in the game. Our post players should be dominating in this game....should be.

I'll go with Molly's take in that she dribbled right into three Rabbits and other option was a travel. A foul on SD would have been a bailout.

Getting outrebounded by a fairly large margin. No way this team should be 3 points behind at half. Free throws would help too.

My initial thought was a travel being called on her.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Wise's box line is interesting. 17 minutes and no points or rebounds. She has been playing decent defense and guess with two wings on the bench with fouls she was to go to gal for minutes.

Refs are destroying the flow of the game
