Arizona St (16) @ Arizona (18) - 1/24/20

[nwhoopfan]

Buzzer beating half court shot for McDonald, cuts the lead to 23-20. They needed that badly, went most of Q2 without scoring.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UA only has ONE 2 point bucket, in 20 minutes. That is absolutely unbelievable.

 

[azfan]

23-20 Devil's at the half. McDonald hits a three from half court to close the gap the 3.

VERY PHYSICAL GAME!

 

[DefenseBB]

Good defense or sloppy play by both teams?

both?

ASU is playing. Would you expect anything else?

 

[azfan]

First team to 50 wins? UofA shoots 25 per cent with more fouls (7) than assists (3)

 

[nwhoopfan]

After pretty much allowing WWE on the floor most of the game, refs are calling EVERYTHING now. 5 whistles in less than a minute.

Maybe more like 40. Barely halfway to 50, midway thru Q3.

 

[Mulder]

This game is borderline ugly.

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU has had a couple chances to go up 7. The way this game is going that seems more like a 12 or 15 point margin. But UA just got a corner 3 to cut it down to 2. 27-25 5:27 Q3. This game is SO unpleasing aesthetically.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This game is borderline ugly.

Borderline? What would it take to get you to commit to calling it ugly?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just announced 10,160 attendance. Congrats to UA and Tucson for their support.

 

[azfan]

Announced attendance 10160!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Carter w/ 5 straight, don't usually get much offense from her. Tied up now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Reese vs. Tapley, key to the game?

Um...both nonfactors so far. I really called this one.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona on a run, up 33-29.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sam Thomas must have a hell of a wing span. She's under 6' but she gets so many blocks, tipped passes and steals.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Carter w/ another 3 to end the quarter, up 39-33. Offensive explosion in Q3! (19, after only 20 in first half).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ryan is carrying ASU pretty much by herself. McDonald is getting some help from Carter and Thomas.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think I heard them say McDonald entered the top 10 in career scoring at Arizona during the game. She's only been there for 1 1/2 seasons.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona hit 40, let's call it a game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU has cut a 8 point deficit in half.

Refs working the whistles hard in Q4 so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Long scoring drought for UA. Stuck at 41. ASU just cut it down to 2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald and-1! Needed that.

Ryan is leading all scorers w/ 18.
