Texas A&M @ Southern California - 12/15/17

[MilfordHusky]

Carter has to feel man, do I have to score every point? USC goes up by 6, Carter gets a little tired and the rest of these guys couldn't hit their own face. USC retakes the lead 65-64.

37 out of 66 so far for Carter,

 

[JordyG]

Hillsman comes back in 3:00 mins left and immediately fouls out.

 

[JordyG]

Blair has no choice now but to go either isolation or high post screen for Carter every time down. 68-66 Aggies, 2:13.

 

[Plebe]

USC answers with a run, gets a couple buckets in transition to retake the lead, 65-64.

 

[JordyG]

Williams has also been a liability on defense on either Moore or Edwards as both have abused her off the dribble all game.

 

[JordyG]

I thought her foot was on the line.

 

[JordyG]

44 yes, 44 points for Carter. 73-68 Aggies, 30 secs left.

 

[JordyG]

Sadie Ice Water Edwards from the corner 3. 26 secs left, 73-71 Aggies.

 

[Shades]

44 yes, 44 points for Carter. 73-68 Aggies, 30 secs left.

Can we have some overtime?

 

[JordyG]

Horrible inbounds play by the Aggies for the TO. 24 secs left, USC ball.

 

[Plebe]

USC really needed a Moriah-like player to faceguard Carter. She was just too much.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'll go way out on a limb and say that not many freshmen will score 44 points in a single game this year.

 

[JordyG]

If this goes to OT does Carter have enough in the tank?

 

[Plebe]

Horrible inbounds play by the Aggies for the TO. 24 secs left, USC ball.

A&M looked like Texas on that inbounds play.

 

[Mdoggie]

I'll go way out on a limb and say that not many freshmen will score 44 points in a single game this year.

Not many will have to for their team to survive.

 

[JordyG]

Sadie Ice Water Edwards the 3 at 20 secs then Carter at the other end the drive and pull up. Aggies win 75-74.

 

[Mdoggie]

Is this the second coming of a Mitchell like player?

 

[JordyG]

Exciting game y'all! WE LOVE WCBB! I'd rather watch either of these two teams any day than Tennessee or Texas. A tired Carter earned this win. Yet this is the first game of their road trip. She can't score 46 (!) every night.

 

[Plebe]

What a finish. That was pretty darn exciting. Mazyck misses the game-winning shot and Moore misses a putback at the buzzer.

 

[Plebe]

My only big criticism of USC is that they never made anyone else for A&M handle the ball. When one player is scoring two-thirds of a team's points, you gotta try to deny her touches.

 

[JordyG]

Is this the second coming of a Mitchell like player?

She's a better shooter than Mitchell. Kennedy's passing is suspect, but she plays pretty good defense, better than Mitchell. Kennedy also seems as if she's willing to let other people shine. Mitchell has the size, speed and athleticism however.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sadie nailed TWO 3-pointers in the final 27 seconds to get her team the lead, but they had no answer for Chennedy Carter.

Carter had 46 points. The rest of the team had 29. She shot 17-28. Her teammates shot 10-37.

Chennedy (very unorthodox spelling) doesn't have quite the pure blow-by speed that Mitchell has, but she has more finesse IMO.

 

[JordyG]

I so agree. But again, it's what has made Mitchell's college career. Kennedy is a better outside shot than Mitchell and she only made one ill advised drive the entire game. In fact, after the first period she drove to the hoop maybe 4x. Talented young lady.

Exciting 4 quarter.... whew. Wish there was more in attendance to enjoy such a game.
