Shocks (#5) vs Creighton (#4)

And that was a clean block.


Pretty bad start to the 2nd half, and frankly everything being called CU's way but WSU has to react better.

[WuDrWu]

And that's just not a foul.


Somehow, WSU still has it close, but fouls are going to be a problem and they are going to have to rebound harder on the defensive end because CU is playing aggressively.

[WuDrWu]

Shocks up 1, under 12 TO and CU will be shooting 2 when they come back, and just so you don't think I ***** all the time, the last foul WAS a foul.

[WuDrWu]

1 word: OUCH!




Shocks by 4, timeout Creighton.

Yes indeed.

They really showed some character when things were going bad early in the half, composed themselves and have started to take over the game again.

42-34 approaching the under 8 TO.

[WuDrWu]

42-36 7:17 to go, BJ ball.

WSU has looked a little harried the last 2 possessions. They'll need to keep their heads as the game winds down.

Got to see most of the 1st half, but haven't seen much of the 2nd half.

When the All-Valley teams came out the other day I did not have any particular issues with them. However, I thought to myself that there is no reason Haleigh can not be the POY of this league if she can put it all together consistently and stay out of foul trouble.

She is showing today that she is capable of that.

Shocks need to cut down on the traveling.

Last year and earlier this year they would have crumbled in the face of a run by the other team.

Withstanding runs and making runs back in response has been perhaps the best characteristic of this team's improvement over the later third of the season.

[WuDrWu]

47-40 Shocks, under 4 timeout.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks need to understand whose hands they want the ball in down the stretch. That would be Haleigh and Jessica for the most part.

Probably going to need to make some free throws down the stretch also.

[1972Shocker]

I wonder if Morgan Boyd might be a better option than China against Creighton's pressure defense.

Would sure prefer to see Haleigh and Jessica takiing the shots at this point.

Jaz is OK from 8 foot in, but not very dependable beyond that.

[WuDrWu]

55-52 Shocks with the ball, 38.2 left.
