[nwhoopfan]

It's early but Dawgs going toe to toe.

McDonald just swatted a 6-3 post player. Gotta love non-existent hops. Almost a foot difference in height.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No blood no foul. Or sometimes no foul even when there is blood. How does that happen?

That's how it happens. Reese clobbered Peterson w/ an elbow trying to get thru a screen, right in the mouth. Refs can't see that but they can see the blood and make her go out of the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pueyo has picked Arizona up w/ a pair of 3's. For some reason the Dawgs have had the Cats' number to start both games this season. 13-12 UW thru Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pueyo is en fuego, 4 3's already. Dawgs still hanging in. 20-18 Arizona.

Surprisingly the Rees vs. Reese battle is a slight advantage for Darcy so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Thomas is swatting everything. Best 6' shot blocker in the country? She's in the top 5 in Arizona history with one more season left after this.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cats pulling away 28-21, Dawgs shooting themselves in the foot w/ missed FTs. McDonald not scoring much still, others stepping for UA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dawgs w/ a bit of a rally, but fouled a 3 point shooter as time was expiring at the end of the half. 32-26 UA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Thomas w/ 6 BS now and it's still early in Q3. 41-30 UA. McDonald has 8. Pueyo w/ 12, Carter w/ 10. Huskies w/ their traditional 3rd quarter fade. I've seen this at least a dozen times this year.

edit--is Wynn the WORST halftime coach in the country? What does she do during the break? They consistently suck after the half, whatever she's doing she should stop and do something else.

 

[Shades]

Washington hanging in there pretty well.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald heating up. 48-36 UA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Intentional foul gives UW FTs and the ball back, can't hit the shot at the end of the quarter. 50-40 UA thru Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald w/ the greatest flop ever, went flying about 15 feet. Academy Award.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ouch, no flop on that one. Melgoza's elbow landed on Carter's head as she came flying in for an O board.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think UW has turned it over on at least 4 straight possessions. 57-43.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rees passes up a wide open 10 footer to dribble and spin into a triple team and gets tied up. Smart. 62-43.

 

[nwhoopfan]

24% shooting this half and 35% for the game for UW. You can't win games if you can't put the ball in the hoop (except last week at home against Colorado).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Melgoza edges McDonald in the scoring duel 22-19 but Aari got a lot more help. 64-53 under a minute left. Adia emptied the bench.

edit--now final, same score

Question - what did Mary Murphy think of my Cats?

She had a puss on, and the expression when she was told by a media person that she had to stay seated after the game while the team filed behind her (they high five the front row behind the broadcasters) was annoyed.

Very physical game, on both sides.

Question - what did Mary Murphy think of my Cats?

I think at some point I've gotten fairly good at not really listening to the announcers most of the time, so I can't really tell you what Mary had to say about the Cats.
