Really silly that this game isn't at least on ESPN+. Biggest game in the conference and it's stuck on CUSATV.

5 mins in and a low scoring game so far, Rice leads 3-2. UAB has 4 fouls so far, Rice 2. Rice is 1-7 from the field, UAB 1-6.

Our conference has the worst media deal of anyone in D1.

Quick 1st quarter, tied 10-10.

Gonna have to score more than 10 a quarter. Even with our really good defense in conference play, UAB is going to get some buckets.

Erica only played about 4 mins in the 1st and was 0-3.

Here's a link to the UAB audio stream: http://conferenceusa.com/watch/default.a...2&path=uab

UAB leads 19-16 with 5 mins left in the 1st half. Erica still scoreless.

And on cue, Erica scores, 19-18.

She's struggled against most good teams we've played:

A&M: 3-11, 4 TOs
UCLA: 3-11, 8 TOs
UNC: 3-18, 2 TOs

Just a really poor shooting game thus far .

20-23 at the half.

At the half, UAB leads 23-20. Mulkey with 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks.

UNC 1st half: 16 points, 23% FG
UCLA 1st half: 24 points, 32% FG
A&M 1st half: 18 points, 29% FG
UAB 1st half: 20 points, 29% FG

Not entirely surprising we're struggling considering our track record this year (even if those games were without Mulkey, who is single-handedly keeping us in this game). This is where Langley makes her money, though. Need a big 3rd quarter.

I hope Walt's comment in the MTenn thread holds true:

Difference in this game is that the other team is there with us.
UNC 1st half: 33 points, 40% FG
UCLA 1st half: 30 points, 44% FG
A&M 1st half: 28 points, 41.7% FG
UAB 1st half: 23 points, 31% FG

My quick 3rd quarter math:

Total season: 17.6 - 14.4
Conference Play: 16.8 - 8.3

Rice starts the 3rd on a 6-0 run, 26-23. UAB calls timeout.

Owls open the 3Q with 6-0 run. UAB timeout

26-23 Owls.

31-26 now.

Iademarco has scored all but 2 of our points this quarter.
