Up next: Duke

[i77cat]

Saturday, 2 pm, our house, ESPN+.

I chatted with Derek about the lack of a "listen" button. There isn't one. There hasn't been one for years. His excellent audio just goes out over ESPN+. We have "listen" options for football and for men's basketball. Maybe we'll grow to the point that it is also needed for women's basketball.

Let's go Cats!

Big crowd.

10-6 at 1Q

[i77cat]

10-6 after a busy, intense, error-filled first quarter.

[Corpulent Cat]

One of the worst quartesr of offensive basketball I've ever seen. Combined both teams 7-30, 1-13 from 3pt, and 13turnovers.

We are acting like we have never seen a press before. Duke apparently has grease on their fingers as they are turnover heavy as well.

[i77cat]

Hardware on Cam's left leg. 10 healthy bodies.
Duke is getting some good looks now. Duke fouls. A lot. 15-12, looking for the tie. Nope, airball, runout, 17-12.

[i77cat]

Getting ready to get ugly. 5:00 left. 19-12.

[i77cat]

Or not. We take a 19-20 lead.

[i77cat]

26-20. We can't play better than that on defense.

[i77cat]

26-19 on a changed 3 call. So our last lead was really a 18-19 tie.

[stevelee]

Refs are calling fouls against Duke, and even called a travel. Apparently they can do that in women’s. Our score was downgraded to 19 after review. So we didn’t really have that momentary lead.

We did finally hit a few shots and got around their press.

[stevelee]

Drummer is pretty good.

[i77cat]

One of the healthy bodies is Doctor, but she isn't warming up. There is also hardware on Thomisin, but she isn't using a crutch like Cam.

[Corpulent Cat]

Remarkably bad third quarter. We are playing hard but can't shoot and the turnover parade continues.
