Nice start sans free throws, which I trust will get better. It was great to finally see the Fab 4 in Wildcats uniforms. This is going to be fun.

Hope to see a good crowd Thursday night for Rice. The women are very athletic this year and it is exciting to watch their play. The newbies are quick and talented.
Rice is tall! 6'4", 6'3", and several 6 footers, even guards.

Anyone know why Addison Martin didn't play tonight? Concussion.

Rice was big and athletic both, but we actually played them well. I knew it would be an uphill battle to beat them. After watching us for two games in a row though, I walk away liking what I see. We still tend to start off too slow, but over-all we are playing more physical this year and not as slow. When we started to push back against Rice, they weren't as productive and we started gaining on them. They made really good adjustments coming out the 2nd half. Still, we didn't give up and adjusted back and got aggressive again. We never could close the gap though. Our biggest issue is that we still aren't hitting our shots. I think with time that will come. I don't think there is a whole lot of negative at this point. We just need to keep progressing and putting it together.

The game was tough and hard fought. Rice has excellent perimeter defense with mostly 6 footers so we struggled to get 3 point shots. Aspen in particular struggled against their big guards. The 4 freshmen are definitely as good as advertised.
Rice is a who’s who of players that we offered and recruited really hard. Jazzy Owens-Barnett, Trinity Gooden, Shelby Hayes.

Rice played defense the way Tanner's guys play defense, they were quick and invading on our space. Not often you see such intensity. The Rice player wearing number one was about the best player to play in the new Moody. She was tall, quick, and could shoot the ball really well. Our ladies never gave up, but if we opened up games as intensely as we played the second quarter, we would not lose many games ever. Zoe played a fine game for sure. And I always like Bella's intensity. Our ladies battled but Rice was just too strong on defense, and they hit their 3 pointers.

Rice had good perimeter defense, but we had similar issues hitting our shots with SAGU. So, can't blame that all on Rice and their size and defensive prowess.

Ladies squeeked by Angelo State this p.m. Glad to see Bella Earle more active on the offensive end of the court. Aspen Thornton led our scoring with 18. Bella and Payton Hull were also in double figures. Addi Martin was back and led in rebounds with 9.

Quick notes about the Rambelles. #10 Sawyer Lloyd was a D2 All American last year. She averaged 15.5 PTs and 8 RB. She was 9 and 3 today. ASU is picked to win the Lone Star Conference this year. They lost to Rice 101-47 in Houston. All in all, a very good test before we head to Annapolis to play Towson and Navy.

Not having at least, a radio broadcast or Live Stats feed for a DI basketball game, now THAT's embarrassing...
