Drake somehow got both Nebraska and Iowa to come to their gym this season. That's a pretty good home non-conference schedule!

Not quite sure what happened yesterday. Fall behind early, claw the way back to 24-24 and then the bottom fell out going into halftime.

We miss Haiby for sure. She's been the steady hand and play maker when you need one. So, maybe it is just figuring out roles and how to adjust to knot having Haiby?

how to adjust to knot having Haiby?

Does this mean we're tied to her?

:Giggle:

Does this mean we're tied to her?

We were there...2 things...First they shot the lights out from 3 60% mid third quarter. Second the refs let a lot of stuff happen all game which favored Drake. Drake got called, finally, for illegal screens on their 3 pt tries as we caught up in the 2nd quarter. Looked like a hockey game with board checking. The refs quit calling them and we then lost the lead again.

Drake kicked our butts with their shooting so not sure we were going to win, some nights are just like that, however it might have been closer if they had called the game the same on both ends. One play that stood out to me...Bourne grabs a rebound...one handed...as the opponent had her in a hook and hold move...no call.
