Should be a good game. At the chalk talk prior to the game. Coach Lee mentioned UAB's high offense and the fact that they make 9 threes a game. Gonna have to defend the three. Mentioned that everyone is healthy. Noted that the coaches rotate scouting games.

Same starting 5

0-7 to start the game, and most wide open looks. Not good.

Half through the 1st Rice leads 5-4. Mulkey picks up her 1st foul.

Good defense. Offense simply missing open looks.

Great D by Ellig.

Schwartz has missed 3 wideopen 3s.

Smith picks up her 2nd personal early. Could hurt our perimter D.

Of course Rice can't get a shot off at the end of the 1st. Ends up turning it over. Rice leads 11-9 after 1Q.

Awful final 2 minutes of the quarter, but Rice up 11-9. Great perimeter D, but with Mulkey out UAB has been effective down low. Jackson with back-to-back turnovers to end the quarter.

Mulkey looks hurt after setting a screen. Hopefully she got her wind knocked out and nothing serious.

One of those games where we look like we're moving in molasses on the offensive end.

Offense stagnant with Smith on the bench. UAB getting some open 3s now.

Update. Mulkey checking back in.

Mulkey out with a mid-section injury.

Offense really struggling right now.

Tied at 22 with 3:57 left in 2Q.

UAB can't miss this quarter.

Fyi, UAB averages 76.9 a game, 21st in the nation.

UAB 7-11 this quarter, including 4 3s
