ESPN Analytics has us with a 96.5% chance of winning. No betting line on the game that I can find.
Southern Miss is 2-4 but has no D1 wins. Their wins are over two NAIA teams: Blue Mountain Christian (from Blue Mountain, MS) and William Carey (from Southern Miss' hometown of Hattiesburg, MS).

Gig'em Aggies!
Wow thank you Anchorhold, blessings!!!!
Jada Malone starting
Is Ware injured?
Jada is taking control down low, at least from her stats. Since I can't watch.
Yeah I don't think Ware is playing tonight, hopefully doesn't come back to bite us defensively
End of 1
Texas A&M - 19
Southern Miss - 14

I believe we are pretty close if not at 100% with regard to having a turnover when we possess the ball with like 25 seconds left in a quarter and are holding for a last shot. Our guards can't possess the ball that long and the other teams usually ends up with an easy bucket on the other end.
It is just getting silly at this point regarding that.

You pointed it out game 1 and it's happened multiple games… kind of wild
It was 19-11 with us holding for a last shot in 1Q. 90 seconds later we are tied at 19-19, primarily due to turnovers.
Southern Miss is absolutely terrible. This is a game even if we aren't good, we should win by 15+ points. Let's go, we may not be good, but we should be playing at this level.

Does anyone know why Lauren Ware is out?
Our 2 bigs are 9-9 from the field (Jada 6-6, Abdur-Rahim 3-3).
Abdur-Rahim had 4 FGs on the entire season before tonight. She has made 3 FGs in the last 2 minutes of the game.
Aggies on a run 22-5 and lead 41-24

2 minutes left in 2Q. Can we close it strong?
Aggies lead 46-27 at the half.
Jada with 18 points at the half including 8-8 from the field.

Great half for Jada!
I'm hesitant on how Jada will measure up defensively against the more agile power forwards and centers in the conference. But it's clear she's the better scorer than Ware. I'd still love to see them on the court together though! Why not use height to our advantage. Jada Malone can get buckets!
2 1/2 minutes into 2H and Jada is 10-10 from the field.
This is true, but like you pointed out she gives us better scoring threat.
Field goals:
Jada 10-10
Abdur-Rahim 5-5
Ags lead 64-38 with 3 minutes to go in 3Q
Jada 10-10
Abdur-Rahim 5-5
Ags lead 64-38 with 3 minutes to go in 3Q
USM closes 3Q on a 11-4 run.
But Ags lead comfortably after 3Q 66-45
Jada still perfect at 10-10. Abdur-Rahim now 5-6.

Jada still perfect at 10-10. Abdur-Rahim now 5-6.
Jada finally misses, but grabs her own rebound and puts it back in. 11-12 from the field now.
26 points in 22 minutes of play.
I'd love to get her to 30 points. 6 minutes to go.

Jada and Abdur-Rahim both with 4 fouls with about 5 minutes left to play.
We have a comfortable 75-51 lead.

Final:
Texas A&M 79
Southern Miss 57
Jada - 26 points (11-12 FG), 7 rebounds in 24 minutes
Abdur-Rahim - 14 points (7-8 FG), 7 rebounds in 16 minutes
Sahara - 11 points, 7 rebounds
Sole - 10 points, 8 assists
Coulibaly - 8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists

Southern Miss 57
Jada - 26 points (11-12 FG), 7 rebounds in 24 minutes
Abdur-Rahim - 14 points (7-8 FG), 7 rebounds in 16 minutes
Sahara - 11 points, 7 rebounds
Sole - 10 points, 8 assists
Coulibaly - 8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists
Assists everywhere
The question is what's more beneficial to us: Coulibaly scoring 20+ or her facilitating the offense a little more and reacting to what the defense throws at her?
Massey Ratings have us at #80, Syracuse has fallen to 3-3 and sits at #75. Game could be the difference between single digit or double digit win season and do a lot for momentum
Jada - 26 points (11-12 FG), 7 rebounds in 24 minutes
Abdur-Rahim - 14 points (7-8 FG), 7 rebounds in 16 minutes
This says a lot in what we need to be doing. Probably both in the game at the same time. With Ware as a rotating substitute for both. That would be about 26 minutes for each of the three.
I've been pleading to the choir since game 1, but I think we'll work best with two bigs on the floor at once running everything inside out!!! If we can get some good floor awareness by the bugs as well and execute kick outs or find girls cutting when help side crashes in, I think we have something to work with on offense!!
