Sorry, auto correct butchered Lanae on my original post. Western shot lights out but Lady Raiders show some grit and lead 49-42 at the half.

Glad to see more driving to the bucket. Somewhat surprising with Malashka having minimum production. Didn't totally live by the 3 alone. Good to see Boldyreva playing more of an aggressive role inside. Great rebounding effort from Scott, really quick leaper. She needs more floor time period. Would have been a great opportunity for Riley tonight. With Whitson in a boot hopefully she'll get some minutes in near future.

Just noticed the update. That is a shame especially since Rick recently mentioned her development coming along so well. Had a lot of hope for her a bright future. On the bright side it certainly didn't pose a negative effect on the team's play tonight. In fact their best played game in a few weeks. Still wish the young lady all the best.

Malashka must really be in Rick’s doghouse.

 

[crassyblue]

That is very obvious. The looks he gave her last night were piercing. It does give Anastasia a chance to grow though.

Shouldn't be unhappy about the win, but the Ladies need to tighten up on the silly turnovers.

 

[blue rai]

what an exciting game to watch! Western brought their A game and we answered with an A+ effort. Hope we get a 10 seed in the tournament because I think that gives us the best chance to get to round of 16.

 

[MTFAN61]

Will say this for WKU, while quite young they are really talented. The women's race between MT & WKU will be something to watch the next few years.

Saw some sloppy & dangerous passes from Blakely that I never noticed before, but she did have an incredible breakaway to finish one of the quarters
