11-2 Ags 6:08 in the 1st. Janiah came in off the bench

13-10 Ags 2:12 in the 1st

That was probably the weakest flagrant foul call that I've ever seen on MJ. Terrible call.

We need the Barker and Kay Kay group on the court to be as productive as the Ware and Hylton group was in 1Q.

Let's do this. Big opportunity today.

17-12 Ags after 1st.

This 1-3-1 defense by MS state is causing us problems
We are starting to turnover the ball more and falling in love with shooting too many threes

As much as I love Sole she has just had 2 horrible shots and 2 turnovers and is responsible for a 6-0 run for state.

9-0 run for state

Turnovers are killing us.

We have 11 turnovers right now

Barker is so disappointing to me. She doesn't play like the number 2 recruit in the country

Now 12 turnovers which results in a 3 on the other end.

We are collapsing. Down 6.

Can't even hit the rim on our outside shots. Why is our outside shooting so poor?

Ags down 23-31
2nd quarter was atrocious to say the least

Now 13 turnovers for the half.

State leads by 8 at the half. So disappointing. Seems like we don't even care.

The flying overshot pass turnovers are KILLING us - I would hazard a guess over 1/2 our turnovers are those awful passes

Absolutely embarrassing quarter of basketball. Let's see how they come out in the second half. Just very poorly coached right now. Hate to say it.

So many unforced errors. We look so lost at times. Just really disappointing.

Guards passing the ball 10 feet over their heads or at their ankles? Literally basics we can't even do well.

I agree. We started so hot but now seem really uninspired.

I've never figured out why Joni doesn't call timeouts. MS State closed out the 2nd quarter with an 18-2 run & they also had another run earlier in the game. I've noticed this trend of not calling timeouts several times in earlier games.

Makes no sense.

Our girls are awful. No movement, poor ball handling. It is like Barker does not exist.

With the exception of Roger's, our guards are not consistently comparable to other top guards in the league. I've been a huge Sole fan, but she has not been good today. Hylton has had a few good moments. Jones is just too inconsistent. Why do we take so many 3s as poorly as we shoot? I guess call me old school bc I can't stand to see a coach that is so passive on the sidelines. Clapping "that's okay" after the 13th ridiculous unforced turnover. Call timeouts and get on them. Just awful.

Two good looks to Ware to start the second half

Much better energy and execution to start the 3rd!!

Their posts are only pivoting to score with their right hands. We need to stop bailing them out by fouling

Great start to 3Q by the same group that had the great start to 1Q.

I'd love to see the +/- for some of our players today.

Glad to see Coulibaly assert herself more. She needs to step up and be one of our leaders. She is so capable!

Barker subs in with 3:40 to go in 3Q for Ware. We need to keep up the solid play when we start subbing out here.

Three turnovers in a row now

Hilton with two quick baskets to tie the game

Hylton. Thank you.
