Texas at Iowa State Wed.

WVU is physical! They are knocking Sooners over like they are bowling pins. OU in bonus half way through the half.

Proud of the Horns for regrouping within the first half. Thank goodness for Sarah! We might need to send Jerritt a thank you gift.

1 point game with only 5 pts combined from Nneka and Chas. You have to think both are going to put some points on the board in the second half. I bet ISU would never have expected to hold our top two scorers to 3 and 2 pts respectively in the half and only lead by one. All things considered, we're in a good position. If the foul trouble doesn't get the better of us I like our chances.

 

[BabHorn]

for those that missed it, Anne Marie is not available to play due to injury although she is suited up-same thing with Gigi. That leaves Imani, Cokie, Nneka and Sara in the post. Haven't seen Kayla on the floor yet but she should be available as well.

 

[BabHorn]

WVU 39 OU 36 at the half on a last second 3.
BU 36 to 11 over TCU.

 

[hornsgeek]

2 out of 7 on FTs?!

 

[BabHorn]

two silly fouls by Imani and Celina. Imani is sitting as she has four. ISU and Texas exchanging the lead, Texas is up 32-30.
Now Cokie has four fouls, Moody will be shooting FTs.

 

[hornsgeek]

It's nice to have enough players on the bench that we can substitute in and out as needed, unlike in the past.

 

[BabHorn]

ISU will in at FT line from 14 & 1/2 to go.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Poppens and Prins both with 3 fouls. One more for either and they will be sitting.

 

[hornsgeek]

Way to go Chaz!!!

 

[hornsgeek]

Hope this doesn't end up with more foul calls than minutes played.

 

[BabHorn]

foul by Celina will put ISU on the FT line for a one & one, Texas up 36-33 with 11:43 to go.

 

[BabHorn]

OU down to WVU 47-40 with 14 & 1/2 to go.

 

[BabHorn]

another foul on Texas. We gotta defend without fouling.

 

[hornsgeek]

Great defense tonight! Way to go Horns!

 

[overseasbbfan1]

We keep trying to pull away but ISU is soooooo tough at home. Let's go, Horns! Hang tough and pull this out!

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Chas, Nneka and Ashley all in double figures now.

 

[BabHorn]

Imani fouled by Christofferson. Don't know if Imani was in the act of shooting or not. Horns up by 3, 47-43 with just over 7 minutes to go.

WVU up 54-48 over OU with 10:44 to go.

 

[hornsgeek]

Love listening to this game! They are playing team ball and following the game plan. It's great to hear Chaz' name called out on defense so much.

Bummer that Imani fouled out, but proud of her effort.

Go horns! Keep it up!

 

[BabHorn]

Imani just fouled out. ISU will be shooting two FTs. They shoot 80%.

 

[hornsgeek]

C'mon Horns! You can do this!

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Up 4 with 3 1/2 mins to go. Can it just end now? Really want us to pull this one out. ISU always plays well down the stretch at home, need to play tough and SMART!

 

[BabHorn]

3:10 left, Texas up 53-49 and ISU with the ball after the time out. Really looked like Empress got bopped on the head by two Cyclones on that rebound but they called the ball off of her.

WVU & OU tied up at 54

 

[overseasbbfan1]

TT has been leading OSU but now down by one with just over 6 mins to go. KS up by 9 over KSU with less than 5 to go.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

2 pt lead with 2 mins to go. I REALLY can't take this. Had enough of these nail biters last season to last a lifetime.

 

[hornsgeek]

Dang it!

 

[BabHorn]

Horns down 55-53 and lost a rebound off a FT.

ISU has the ball with 53 seconds to go.

 

[BabHorn]

ISU gonna seal it at the FT. Nneka fouled. ISU makes both. 57-53 ISU with 31 seconds to go.

 

[hornsgeek]

Let's go horns. Be disciplined!

 

[BabHorn]

14 seconds Ashley shooting 3 FTs.

Made all three. 57-56 ISU.
