Saturday, 2 pm, their place.

#242 at #290. 39% chance. 65-61.

This has not been an ideal season for the Bonnies. They started the year with 10 players. Lately, they've had only 6 players. Among the missing has been 5-9 G Mckenna Maycock, 12.4 ppg and 7.8 rpg, who went down with a knee injury in mid-December. Two other key rotation players have also been out. No idea who will be back for our game.

Among those who have played recently, 5-9 G Mariah Ruff leads the way at 15.9 ppg, while 5-7 G Danielle Migliore averages 11.2 ppg. Those two players are not shy from behind the arc, with about 7 trey attempts apiece per game. Both convert at about 34%.

The Bonnies are 2-4 in the A10, 7-12 overall. Same as us. Best win was at home against #88 Penn State, when they were close to full strength. Worst loss was at #476 Canisius early in the season.

41% 2FG, 33% 3FG, 73% FT. With the depleted roster, their tallest player is 6-0. Minus 5 on the boards. Minus 2 on turnovers.

5-11 G Dajah Logan, who is sitting out this season after transferring from Charleston, went to McDonogh High School in Randallstown, MD. That's Andrea's high school.

It's a long trip to Olean, NY. We did not play well there a year ago. Down 21 at the half, never threatened. I suspect we'll be more focused this go 'round.

Go Cats!

They might have only six available again, but those six are good players and they've been working as a unit for half a dozen games now. We will need to be at our best.

Starters... Katie, Saadia, Justine, Ally, Mackenzie. <-- per Twitter. Live stats shows Kianna starting instead of Justine.

Kianna is in fact starting. Justine participated in warmups.

1st qtr, both teams man-to-man.

8-0 Bonnies early. Three good looks for us.

Under 5, 13-9, Cats on a 13-1 run. Bona is trying to drive and score or dish for 3's. Just need to stay in front. Katie has 6. No Justine yet.

Wildcats playing ball now. 13-9 after a great run. About halfway through the 1st. 15-9 now.

18-10. 18 more points than in our last 1st quarter. 20-10 now. I hope Justine's problem is short-lived. She missed some time late in our last game while her knee was examined.

End of 1st qtr, 23-15, Cats. It looks like we are trying to attack inside with Mackenzie, they're compensating and it's opening up the outside. Cats are 5-6 from deep.

Consecutive threes from Bona, both drive and dish. 25-21, Cats. They are playing with all 5 players outside the arc at times.

25-15 was nice. 25-21 now. It is an ongoing source of amazement how much we've improved with the coaching changes.

Nice to see minutes for both Chloe and Sae. Should be able to exhaust the 6 Bonnies.

Score was 30-23 for a long time. Speight makes it 33-23. SBU immediately responds with an old-school 3 point play. I'm enjoying our fans. They are loud.

[ChantillyCat]

Halftime, 36-32, Cats. Four 3's from Bona that qtr. Kianna has 12. Katie with 8, Mackenzie 5, Sarah and Ally with 4 each. Katie, Sarah, Ally and Chloe with 2 fouls apiece.

Cats have 18 pts off 12 Bona (mostly deadball) turnovers. We have 9 turnovers against a not-too-aggressive defense.

3rd qtr, 7:47, 41-35. Katie picks up her 3rd and 4th fouls.

5 minute mark, 47-44, Cats. Pressing and getting burned. Big lift from Ally with 6 pts this qtr, but she is also headed to bench with 4 fouls. Defense needs to step up.

End of three, 53-50, Cats. Bonnies had led by 1 briefly. Nice work by Kelly in relief of Katie. Kianna has 17 now. Ally 10, Mackenzie 9, Katie still w/ 8.
