Big one. Hope we get a big revenge for last year's CUSA tourney semifinal game!
 
Found LA Tech's preview to tomorrow's game interesting. They pointed out that except for the last 2 games in the series most of the games have been won quite convincingly by one team or the other. After last March's game look for another "convincing" victory in the Murphy tomorrow afternoon.
 
Midway through the 3rd. Struggling from outside. Tech outplaying Raiders.
 
Tremendous 4th quarter! Raiders needed a game like this. Needed to be pushed. Ladies answered the bell the way a championship caliber team should!

100% agreed. We got La Tech’s best shot today and wow did we respond in that fourth quarter. We did what really good teams do… found a way to win (and we won big in the end)

And wow Savannah Wheeler is THE REAL DEAL!
 
Great crowd, great 4 th quarter! This group has the potential to be our best team ever. Buy a ticket and bring a friend Thursday night . We have the forth longest winning streak in the nation!

You are correct and the thing I love about this group is that they are a "team". On any given night, multiple players are capable of stepping up and making things happen. Today for example, AB and SW were awesome, but it was Alexis Whittington who made some huge plays that created separation when the game was in limbo. You take away one player, two more step up in various ways. CW was held scoreless today, but had 11 big boards. Kseniya sat the bench in the 4th as Anastasiia wanted the ball and couldn't be stopped. And they all cheered one another, willing the sacrifice personal stats for the betterment of the team.
 
One thing I liked is it appeared this was a game Tech had been planning in advance for some time. They were really prepped in how they wanted to attack us defensively, & had us on our heels most of the game. By 3rd quarter we typically lead most games comfortably by 20 or more points. We needed a team to challenge us going into the 4th, & tonight we played the 4th with our best intensity since the Louisville game. Great to know we can turn it on when needed. Only a matter of time we'll have to do it again as we get everyone's best shot.
