If you haven't seen it, here is my UConn - Nebraska Post Game Report

Just a couple of highlights -

Stewart was dominating in her performance with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Natalie Butler will be available to play on Monday against Chattanooga. What great news for UConn. And just a reminder, she had surgery on her left hand to fix torn thumb ligaments. Thankfully that is not her shooting hand.

Katie Lou Samuelson had her breakout game with 14 points in the second half. She was terrific.

The UConn bench scored 40 points.

And here is my UConn/Chattanooga Pregame Report.

Another VERY busy Friday in WCBB with 20 of the top 25 teams on the schedule.

*********************************************************************************

The day after No. 10 Texas A&M helped Coach Gary Blair in winning his 700th game on the road, they lost at home to No. 11 Ohio State behind 42 points from Kelsey Mitchell.

What a tough loss for previously unbeaten AAC team, East Carolina against No. 19 Northwestern.

After being down by eleven points at the half and sixteen points with 1:30 left in the third quarter, they made a furious comeback to take a four point lead, 70-66 with 3:24 left. Northwestern scored a quick six points to take a 72-70 lead with 2:14 remaining in the game. I'Tiana Taylor made 3-4 free throws to give ECU the lead 73-72 with 1:51 on the clock. Nia Coffey made a jumper to give Northwestern the 74-73 with 1:34 left and at 1:21 I'Tiana Taylor made a jumper to give ECU their final lead, 75-74. After a couple of missed shots by both teams Christen Inman hit a jumper for Northwestern to give them a lead with 11 seconds left.

I'Tiana Taylor was fouled with 7 seconds left after she missed a layup and then grabbed her own miss. Sadly for ECU, she missed both free throws. I'm sure Taylor feels terrible about the game, but she did score 27 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. A monster effort in a losing game. Still ECU did the AAC proud!!!

As I said in yesterday's blog, Notre Dame struggled in beating UCLA in overtime. They initially said that both Turner and Reimer, the Irish bigs, would miss the game. But Reimer played in this game, albeit very ineffectively. In 24 minutes, she scored 2 points, grabbed 3 rebounds and had a team high 4 turnovers.

UCLA is a good but not great team and if ND can't get Turner back soon, they will start losing some games. They are very guard heavy. The good news for Notre Dame is they have some very good guards in the two Mabreys, Madison Cable and Lindsay Allen along with the freshman Arike Ogunbowale. They will have to carry this team. It could get really ugly if Turner is not back for the UConn game.

So, without further ado!!!
