Black has 20. Whitaker a double-double.

61-51 UT, TO KSU. 3 minutes left

65-52 with 2 minutes left.

69-60 Rockets win.

Defense in the 2nd half won the game, plus foul shooting. UT an unbelievable 26-32 from the line.

Black had 22, Santucci had 20.
Whitaker 10 + 12 boards.

Anyone know what's up with Barnes? She hasn't played the last 2 games.

My guess is that nothing is up. She is the 10th player in the rotation. Cullop doesn't usually use that many in conference play. Morgan-Elliott was injured a few games, then Black was out one. With the team at full strength, there probably will be a lot of games where Barnes doesn't see action.

For the second straight game, the opposing team was missing a key player - this time, point guard Asia Dingle. Today the Rockets were able to take advantage. Black, Santucci, and Whitaker were excellent. The Rockets are a different team when Santucci is aggressive on offense. On the other hand, where in the world is Sara Rokkanen? She has been extremely passive offensively. Santucci was completely gassed at the end. Did Wiard even play in the second half? And when is the last time the Rockets had two players score 20 in a game? I don't remember that happening this year.

Edit: I checked the website and will answer my own question On February 21, 2018, Bravo-Harriot had 26 and McIntyre had 24 in an 80-69 home win over Eastern Michigan.

Santucci only had 19 minutes going into quarter 4, IIRC. She had one of the best games I can recall her having. Heller said she was at Savage shooting long after the EMU game Wednesday. She left it all on the floor today.

I guess that I did a bit of research for The Blade's Brian Buckey, who mentioned the Bravo-Harriot/McIntyre feat in 2018.

I noticed that. Don’t for one second believe it was coincidental. Next time use a fake date! See if they fact check.
