Rockets started game on 8-0 run.

Now 14-10 at first media timeout, 2 and change to play in 1st Q.

After a really nice start, the last half of the quarter was disappointing, 14-12 Rockets after 1Q.

21-16 Rockets, under 5 timeout.

Tied at 21, timeout Toledo, just under 4 minutes to play in the first half.

Rockets survive a 12-0 NIU run, 27-26 Rockets at the half.

I believe McIntyre has 11 and Boyd 8 for the Rockets.

From NIU's perspective, it is a low scoring game for them. Rockets dictating the game tempo.

Here's to Coach Cullop working her halftime magic with the Rockets taking control of the second half.

Rockets 41 Huskies 35, 4:02 to play in the third. Boyd all over the court, 14 pts, 8 rebs, at least a couple of which offensive. St Fort with a couple of buckets, including a mid range jumper. Santucci with a layup and chance for 3pt play after timeout.

Rockets picking up the defense doing a great job of switching altering NIU shots.
On the other end, doing a good job of attacking basket.

NIU out rebounding the Rockets close the gap to two points at the end of the third quarter.

UT 50 NIU 48 after 3Q. NIU won't go away.

Is Tanaya Beacham injured? Not seeing playing time in relief of Kaayla McIntyre.
Michaela Rasmussen has been struggling lately putting more pressure on Kaayla.

54-50 Rockets under 5 timeout.

Beacham got a couple of minutes in the first half. You can see her athleticism, but unfortunately it wasn't a good stretch for Toledo, missed defensive assignment, a couple of turnovers on Toledo entry passes to Beacham and she picked up a foul. Would like to see her get more minutes, but UT really struggles when McIntyre is not in the game.

Boyd with a double double

McIntyre's improved foul shooting is impressive.

Huskies running the floor on UT misses, 6-0 NIU run, 58-57 NIU, 2:16 to play. Toledo ball.

Kaayla looks gassed. She has logged lots of minutes and the Rockets have been beaten twice in a row on fast breaks by NIU

Why is KMac inbounding the ball after NIU made buckets? She should be getting to the other end of the floor and getting set for O.
