Really well-played half, though turnovers are once again an issue, with Jackson picking up 3 in just 8 minutes of action. Fourth consecutive game Jasmine has gotten into early foul trouble. This is a big issue given she's a terrific defensive player and our offense tends to slow down when she's out of the game.

And ERica picked up her second personal at the very end of the half. Rice has twice as many fouls called on them than MTSU.

Schwartz again with a very quiet first half: 1-3, 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 TOs

Erica picks up her 3rd foul with 7:30 left in Q3.

Awful call.

Man, they are calling ticky-tack fouls on Rice time and time again.

Erica and Nancy both on the bench now. Where are we going to find offense?

We've gone 3 minutes without scoring, but still hold a 46 - 33 lead with 5 minutes to go in 3Q. Mulkey back in, but Tina looks like she's going to keep Erica out for the rest of the quarter if she can get away with it.

MTSU with 6-0 run, and Tina puts Erica back in.

MTSU on 9-0 run, cuts the lead to 7. Erica misses 2 FTs and then turns the ball over. Ugh.

Mulkey with 14 points, all on beautiful passes in the post by either Smith or Erica.

59-44 end of Q3.

Strong finish to the quarter, Rice up by 15.

Erica with 19 points, 12 boards
Nancy with 16 points, 6 boards, 4 blocks
Smith with 8 assists

Erica and Nancy each with 3 fouls.

They won't call fouls on MTSU unless their blatant.

UTEP giving ODU a battle out in El Paso. We'd be fine with a UTEP win.

Giving up way too many wide open 3s.

What a ridiculous foul call on Mulkey. She had positioning and blocked the shot. Insane.

MTSU with 9 3-pointers.

Tina empties the bench at 1:28. Rice up by 19.

Nice effort. Erica may be a career high with 17 rebounds?

Looks like ODU will hold on for the win, and it's looking more and more like the two Rice-ODu games will determine the conference regular season title. Starting with Thursday at their place.
