Not really sure how they did it shooting 33%, but they won the boards controlled turnovers and played tough D.

RE: WBB @ Akron Game Thread
Black ended up with 17.
Beacham 15 and 12 boards
Rokkanen 12, 5 boards and 2 assists and was an absolute monster on the defensive end. Maybe her best all-around game as a Rocket.
Santucci 10, 6 boards and 8 assists
Lockett 6, 6 boards and 2 assists
Wiard only had 3 points and 4 boards, but played some really crucial minutes and gave them an offensive spark in the 1st half.

RE: WBB @ Akron Game Thread
Wow, great job to stay close when the shots weren't falling, and the defense stayed good the whole game. Where has Rokkanen been hiding all year? She has some offensive skills when she plays aggressively. I like it when she does more than just hoist up three-pointers. I agree with northcoast that Wiard's solid play was important after she looked really shaky against NIU on Saturday. Great perseverance by Beacham after a rough first half. Akron's offense never woke up until the game was out of reach.

Very good observations Dwight. I would only add that Rokkanen and Black really stepped up on the offensive end. Making free throws in the closing minutes were also big. Amazing defensive effort. Great team win. They didn't get down from their first half performance.
GO ROCKETS!

Interesting stat, UT shooting by quarter:
Q1 16%, 0% 3FG
Q2 33%, 33% 3FG
Q3 35%, 33% 3FG
Q4 54%, 40% 3FG
In the last several games, it's been the other way, shooting fell off a cliff in the 3rd and 4th.

The officiating had me scratching my head (AKA up out the chair screaming) at times.

RE: WBB @ Akron Game Thread
Upon a bit more reflection on this game, I just wonder if we can put the "Coach Cullop can't coach" on hold for just a bit?

My feelings about the state of the program are the same as they were before the Akron game. I'm psyched about the win, though.

I like that they included the absolutely clean block Santucci made, even though she got called for a foul.

That shot from above showing the ball on the way to the hoop on Rokkanen's shot is pretty cool too.
