Fri & Sat -Live Broadcast of Incarnate Word - Napheesa Collier

[Sluconn Husky]

Thanks for the updates.

IWA trails 33-30 after 3rd. Collier only had 2 points in the quarter. I believe she had a block (grainy video).

End of Regulation tied at 43. IWA got 2 free throws late to tie it. Collier blocked a shot late to force OT.

IWA never got the ball to Collier on the final 2 possessions. Opponent has lived in a zone most of the game and surrounded her. She has just 2 points since halftime and has been almost nonexistent against the 2-3 zone.

IWA wins 53-50. Collier had 22 points I believe. Not a ton of touches after halftime.

She hit two big free throws in the dying seconds though from what I hear.

Rock Bridge is a very good, nationally ranked team. They have two top 50 players going to Missouri. I knew the game would be a hard one for IW and Collier.

It sounds as if Napheesa finds a way to impact the game and grab a win even when her offense is so-so. See Collins Hill v. Winter Haven in late 2006 for Maya Moore doing the same.
