Very cool play (except for State fans).
Konig was dribbling just outside of 'Cuse's lane and attempted a behind the back dribble. The Cuse defender stole it mid dribble and had an easy 2 step uncontested layup.

That was Kiara Lewis. State's going to have to keep an eye on her. She's fast...deceptively so, and has the ability to shoot us out of the gym if we're not careful.

Good to see State back in the win column. Didnt see the game... looked at the boxscore..and saw that Cassell and Hunter played well. Is that the most Cassell has played all year?

Yes. She still isn't 100% from last season's ACL injury but she balled tonight. She did not play in our loss to Duke on Monday.
