To be fair she played the least amount of minutes of any player (7)

Good point. I should have said post/interior player.

I was feeling this way all game long. MSU stuck around, when it should have been much easier. Wilke has been mostly cold, McQueen has also been on a bit of hot then cold. Even Kneepkens missed some open ones.
If Toure canât scare anybody as an inside threat to score, Kneepkens will continue to be double teamed (as she was in the St Joes game), and it will be tough for her to find her shot.

To me, itâs interesting in that I donât think our team handles pressing very well - we are a team thatâs full of guards or perimeter players. I thought MSU did a fantastic job of causing chaos. Our interior defense canât seem to handle any opponents who are semi-quick.

Thereâs a new article about Petersen in the Trib.
One quote, from his father, really struck me
âWe thought Lynne was going to stay here forever,â Craig told The Salt Lake Tribune. âHeâs so comfortable here. He loves it. Why would you want to move even if youâre going to be a head coach someplace else? When youâre so comfortable, and the administration backs them up, why leave?â
I see a lot of social media griping about Harlan, but this is certainly not the first time Iâve seen staff and their families make this statement.

WBB falls to Mississippi State. Live by the 3, die by the 3. This season so far, we die against decent/good teams. Next up, #3 ranked Notre Dame.

Unfortunately the game was on a streaming service I never heard of the required a subscription. Figured I would wait for the rundown. Thanks for posting.
Sounds like a big of MSU was able to get an o-board and put it back up. Sounds like an interior issue.

Definitely an interior issue and give MSU credit for that. But, if we stick to shooting 3âs as a strength, then, well, gotta hit them. Below .300 wonât cut it, especially if we are an outside-in team.

Just got settled into my hotel room for tonight (driving back from the game last night) and pulled up the play by play page. Hidalgo is an all-american, seems shutting her down has been the key so far. 11 point lead with 3 mins left. Two ND players have now fouled out. Damn, I wish I could be watching this.

And the Utes win by 11 over Notre Dame!!
Maty Wilke hit a big 3 pointer and other than a couple of turnovers on the ND press, they made their free throws. Kneepkens finishes with 16 and McQueen, Johnson and Wilke (!) finish with 15 each.
You would think the Utes shot lights out at 3 pt land, but not really, 37%, but they were 46% from 2 and 81% on FT.
