WMU is doing a very good job boxing out on the defensive glass.
Inma hits a HUGE three pointer. WMU back with a lay in. 70-67 Bronco lead. Rockets ball with 3:32 left.
After a 3 by Inma cuts the lead to 1, Rockets D parts the red sea and gives up an easy layup.
TImeout. WMU leads 70-67
I don't know alex Morton but she is giving Dola all she can handle on Dola's defense.
Yet another traveling call against the Rockets. Broncos answer with a lay in.Ana hits her fourth three pointer. Broncos hit another lay in. Broncos up 74-70.
74-70 WMU, under 2 minutes.
1:10 left Rockets down four
Few if any offensive rebounds for the Rockets in the second half. Broncos ball with 13 seconds on the shot clock.
Prayer 3 pointer by WMU misses, and the rebound caroms right to a WMU player. Not meant to be.
Broncos in bound with 2 seconds and launch a ball that hits the rim and WMU rebounds and is fouled. 38 seconds left - 78-72 Correction: shot clock violation.
16 seconds left. Broncos shooting fouls shots.
Only 5 fouls on WMU in the 2nd half,
11.3 seconds Rockets ball down six
Western has fouls to give and get the W 78-72.
Dang. This it turning out to be a much, much longer season than I anticipated.
Rocket defense couldn't contain WMU in the paint. WMU whistled for just six fouls in the second half including two at the end with to burn time off the clock.
7-9. Yikes. Not the kind of season I was hoping for.
Total of two bench points for Toledo. Ouch.
Rockets shot much better than 50% in the 2nd, I believe ... but so did WMU. Had a decent 3 point outing at 33%, outrebounded WMU and had only 14 turnovers ... and still lost.
Bad shooting in the 1st. Bad defense in the 2nd. The short bench is really hurting us I think. WMU worked us over in the paint and showed how thin we are down low. What I'd give to have a healthy Carson playing to bang for a few minutes ... and Recker with her reach...
