Battle of unbeatens in Miami at high noon. FIU comes in red hot winning 11 of last 12. FIU is capable of pressing & using multiple players. MT had its way with the Panthers last year winning 67-41 in the 'Boro, & 85-46 in Miami. FIU will likely be without one of their key players senior forward Ajae Yoakum who had to be carried off the court in the 2nd half against WKU. Yoakum was in obvious pain with an apparent knee injury.

wku lost at FIU by 10, and has to play at SHSU on Thursday before playing at MT while the Lady Raiders have a full week of rest.
I know this is off the wall but I would love to see us try Boldyreva, Grabowski, and Grannum in the line up together with mix of the guards....
I'd be OK with a combination of 2/3, but all 3 leaves us vulnerable defensively imo
Hard for her to do that when Insell gives everyone the green light to shoot. Whitson or Gregory have never seen a 3 they didn't like, yet neither hits 33% from 3. Obviously worked out great today, but those moments are rare
4 of 5 starters have now recorded at least 1 game this year where they have scored a minimum of 25 points in a game. MT may be the only school that can boast that fact this year.
Boldyreva, Gregory, Wheeler, & now Scott with at least 1 game this year with 25 points scored or more.
That's impressive!
