Malashka is in sweats today. Grannum first F on the bench

Four players have 14 points so far -- Whitson, Gregory, Wheeler, and Blakely. Pretty good game today! All around performance by everyone.

 

[MTFAN61]

Yes! 85-46. This is the complete game we've been waiting to see. Excellent road effort ladies!

 

[MTOleBlue]

Yeah this was a very well played game. Such a huge win over a decent team will help out in the NET rankings too.

Any word on why Malashka didn't play today? Saw she was in the post game victory photo anyway.

Rice just whipped Western in Bowling Green giving us a 3 game lead with 3 games to go for the #1 seed. WKU can't catch us as we hold the tiebreaker, but UTEP could if they win out and we lose out from here. Highly unlikely. Seems we are getting our mojo back. Guess we'll see at a dangerous La Tech next week.

I didn't catch what the announcers on ESPN+ said before the game started sadly. No boot or anything as far as I saw.

Quite a beat down by Rice over a team that showed a lot of fight in the Murphy Center recently. Good idea to keep an eye on Rice these last few regular season games before tourney time. Looks like Rice is trying to get their mojo back as well.

North Texas beat UTEP today so the Lady Raiders clinch the #1 seed.
