Let's go ladies. Win and we could potentially get Washington State at The Pit (if we are the highest bidder for the game).

Just realized we're the last school in the conference with any teams playing in postseason basketball.

[Zeleny' Orel]

Need to get off to a fast start and not depend on 2nd half comebacks!  GMG

[UNTLifer]

Anybody having issues with ESPN+. Online shows us up 1-0 with 7:40 left, so haven’t missed much. 

[UNTLifer]

11-11 2:37 left in first quarter. More bad officiating. 

[UNTLifer]

Whistlefest right now and we are only 2-6 from the line early. 12-12 at the two minute mark. 

[UNTLifer]

Troy went on a late run and lead 19-14 after the first quarter. 

[UNTLifer]

34-31 Troy at the 4 minute mark of the second quarter. We are 3-11 on FT’s. Ridiculous. 

[AleAlejandro21]

Wish we had a nice cozy and small arena like theirs 

[UNTLifer]

This one ref loves to blow his whistle 

[AleAlejandro21]

Here come the zebras 

[UNTLifer]

Moore is either really hot or just bad. Just threw a pass to two Troy players. 

[UNTLifer]

This one ref is horrible. 
 

Ladies lead 40-39 at the half. 

[UNTFan23]

Holy smokes, there might be 500 people at the game including players, officials, band(s?), and spirit squads.

Yeah... mid major women's basketball... 

[meangreenfaninno]

Ladies hanging tough!

[UNTFan23]

Lampkin out with some sort of injury.

We tend to have better fan support than this though. If we can get another home game, we should get even more support. 

[UNTLifer]

These officials are terrible.  How Burton has remained calm is a miracle.

He's already been assessed a technical foul. Thankfully the Troy player missed both FT shots. 

We've gone cold though.

What happened to Lampkin?

Jaaucklynn Moore has no court awareness.  I don’t get the infatuation Burton has with her. 

We are going to have to hit some 3’s.

She took what looked like an (inadvertent) elbow to the face.

Took a elbow in the face, which I thought was an automatic flagrant foul; but apparently not.

 

 

[BleedingGreen]

No Johnson hurts real bad today .

Nothing is automatic with these refs other than they are horrible. I have never seen such a poorly call game.
