Starters announced as Wiard, Lockett, Davis, Morgan-Elliott, and surprisingly, Mikonowicz

6-2 Rockets and Locket to the line for the and-1

8-2 UT. TO Oakland. Lockett with 6

Strong start for Lockett. Rebounding will be a challenge for this group on the floor.

Lance the 1st Rocket off the bench, and now Yani Curry.

Khera Goss her first bucket as a Rocket!

2nd wave in and things getting a little sloppy. 10-8 with Oakland to the line.

Jaela Johnson having a little trouble ball handling.

What a bad call, takes away a great bucket by Lockett

and Lockett has 2 fouls now.

and just like that 12-10 Oakland

Guess defender doesn't have to be set and on the move blocking the shooter and have the foul going against the shooter (Lockett) . . . oh my!

Davis for 3

19-13 Oakland, after UT took a 10-2 lead.

Seven turnovers by the Rockets to go with poor shooting puts them down 19-13 after first quarter.
40% FG shooting is better than I thought but . . .

After Lockett picked up her 2nd foul, young Rockets got all out of kilter, with 7 turnovers and lots of defensive errors. Not really unexpected for the 1st game with so many new faces playing for the 1st time.

Nice post move by Goss!

Wow, Goss posting up down low looks like an upperclassman. 6 points for her.

Not blocking out on the defensive end leads to a Cullop TO.

26-19 Oakland.

The key to the Rockets fast start = Oakland couldn't make a shot. Now they're hitting. Only difference is Toledo's lack of defense. Lots of work to do to approach last year's effort.
