Lexi exits chateau bow wow and plays...

Mich St still playing most of their starters, while UConn has all subs except for Gabby. Looks like Mich St wants the score more reasonable. They've outscored UConn by 7 points so far in the 4th quarter. Will probably hear coach speak in the interview, how her players played hard until the very end.

They need to rub their faces in it like they did to SU a few years ago.

The bench is painful to watch play, worse than any recent years in how sloppy they are.

96 pts with no Lou ... this team must be good

 

[BigBird]

I’m pretty impressed with this game. Our reserves looked better, and the first wave were awesome in most respects.

What happens? I know ahead of time???

If you are in CT and watching on SNY you are ahead. We're in Florida and watching on ESPN3 through cable. It seemed there was a minute to minute and a half delay.

Player of the Game: Azura Stevens!

Z with 25! Coming out party. She'll be coming off the bench when Lou comes back. LOL.

Duke beats Oregon St 72-65. Good win for them after losing to Nova early in the season. PAC 12 hasn't had much success going up against ACC teams.

I hope Geno don't put Lou in bench....just kidding

I am in LA watching SNY, and yes SNY is ahead of ESPN3. Thanks...

Can't wait to see this team in mid season form. Better perimeter shooting in the second half as MSU tried to pack it in to stop the bleeding on the inside. Reserves played better this game.

So Far this year, ND is not the 3 point shooting team like they were in prior years. In four games, they are 13-53 on three point shooting for 24.5% When they beat Oregon St, I was surprised they were only 2-4 on three point shots. Most of the 3 point shots that Mich St made is when they were just launching them and not trying to run their offense. Bring the ball up, launch a three and hope it goes in.

3-point defense isn't good enough. Obviously it won't hurt us today, but against ND...?

Lou won't start when she comes back. She has to get in game shape.

Awesome amazing performances from Danger And AZ. Love this team. Danger - was today 10 assists and just 1 TO? Danger is one of the most gifted passers. She definitely rivals Bird and DT regarding passing.

Geno's post game comments about Azura never having learned how to move without the ball is quite an indictment of the Duke coaching staff..............another clear lesson why players looking to be great should want to learn from the best.........

 

[LasVegasYank]

Pheesa gets honorable mention for Badass award. Fourteen points, twelve rebounds, four assists and lead the team i steals with five and blocks with three.

My God, what a game.

And she played with a zit on her right cheek going nova.

Keeping the starters in to try and keep the mov low. Why else would you keep the starters in late in the game?

While I agree, did anyone else notice that her ball handling seemed off for the game?

Let's not get carried away - this was Michigan State

Lou won't start when she comes back. She has to get in game shape.

She will likely start, just not play her full minutes. They will likely give her more breaks and take her out quicker if they are up big until she's back to normal cardio shape. There is no reason to take chances on her comeback b/c Azura has proven to be capable in playing a lot of minutes.
