I forgot that Acacia Hayes is on their team. I hope we beat them by 75 now.

Oh gosh... more motivation

WKU leads 40-38 at half. It seems like teams always shoot above their season average when playing us. WKU is shooting 41.5% from 3 (7/17). I feel like Clt couldn't miss in our last game in that first half.

Nice 2nd quarter after rough start

 

[tyler90wm]

MT gets the win 80-75! Good job by the team to respond in the 2nd half. One thing that stood out to me is the 0 FT attempts in the 1st half to 24 in the 2nd.

To start out conference 3-0 against Rice, Charlotte, and WKU is a really huge accomplishment in my opinion. These very well could be the top three teams in the conference (behind us of course haha)

Two big time CUSA road wins! Way to go Lady Raiders!!

Big time win. WKU was coming off a win on the road at Rice. They are better than their record and we did a great job adjusting in the second half. I think CRI said it best that Blakely played super poorly to start but then made up for it by leading the team to take the lead after halftime and never let it go. Great adjustment by her!

Assume Wheeler didnt play? Any updates on her?

Assume Wheeler didnt play? Any updates on her?

She did not. She was not there. Assume concussion protocol which makes sense for her not being there, too much stimulation when you are trying to rest and recover
