Owls up early 9-2. UTSA has no answer for Mulkey.

5 pt possession for UTSA closes gap to 11–10 with 4:30 to play in 1Q.

Back to back 3's by Wiggins and Rice leads 23-14 with a minute left in 1st.

26-16, end of 1st. Mulkey with 10 points, Wiggins with 9.

Rice leads 34-20. 5:52 left in 2nd.

Crostwait is down. Looks to be holding her side/hip.

I kind of like what Langley is doing with the rotation. 9 players already with at least four minutes. Might lead to fewer blowouts, but probably the best way to win the most games.

FYI, Crostwait did check back into the game, so seems to be okay.

41-27 at the half.

We're getting a little glimpse into the struggles that next year might bring. We lack any offensive flow without Wiggins and Mulkey on the floor. Outscored 11-3 in the 4th quarter so far with our reserves. Going to need a bunch of players to take BIG steps this offseason.

The bench, including Swayze, have had back-to-back bad games. 23 point lead entering the 4Q cut down to 12 points. However, the starting 5 in certainly strong. Nancy was unstoppable in the post this weekend. 39 points in 39 minutes of playing time, and only missed 6 shots total.

The offense played better today than yesterday, outside of garbage time. They were less sloppy. Solid road sweep although I share concerns about bench scoring.

I'm really not sure if I like this back-to-back format, but 5 of the 6 series that were played this weekend ended up being sweeps on the women's side. The only two teams that split were Marshall and Louisiana Tech (at Marshall).

MTSU eeked out a couple of close wins over FAU. North Texas beat UAB twice in Birmingham (a surprise). FIU had two close wins at ODU (another surprise) and UTEP (Rice's opponent next weekend) swept USM.
