Pretty even during the 3rd, Rice leads 54-46. 3:50 left in Q3.

Mulkey's first missed are the FT line. Then misses a jumper. Lead has been cut to 5 with a minute left in the 3rd.

63-56 at the end of the 3rd. Mulkey with only 2 points in the quarter but the rest of the team was still able to score and keep with ODU.

Looks like we had a 13 point lead early in the 3Q, though.

Let’s finish this one strong!

Over three minutes with neither team scoring a field goal! Now THATS more like it!

Unfortunately both ends of that drought were ODU buckets, with an ODU FT in the middle. Back down to 66-61.

But yay, it’s 73-61 now at the TV timeout!

Mulkey gets her first 2 blocks of the game. The 2nd leads to a pass to Schwartz resulting in a layup and a 3 point play.

Another layup by Wiggins puts Rice up 73-61.

RICE answers with a quick 7-0 run and it’s back up to 73-61 (4 1/2 left)

Earlier the shot clock was malfunctioing and now the replacement is not working. Play has stopped for now.

Love the ODU announcer. Very professional

Play resumes with Rice with no shotclock on their end.

And now the other shotclock is off...and it's back on... haha

Rice shooting a sweet 62.5% from the floor so far, ODU just 43.1%

75-62 at 2:12 remaining

Rice has only made 3 FG this quarter.

ODU only two.

77-64, Time out Rice, 0:49

77-66 final.

Hard to believe ODU lost three straight at home now. They are very athletic.

Good road win against arguably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the conference, and playing with just 7 players (as Austin played just 2 minutes). Responded to every run by ODU, and after leaning on Nancy the 1Q, we got one of the best balanced scoring we've had all year. 4 in double figures, plus Swayze with 9 points.

As always, our strengths are our defense and ability to move the ball around (20 assists)....and our primary weaknesses are our propensity for turnovers (17 resulting in 19 points off TOs) and poor boxing out (ODU with 10 offensive boards resulting in 9 points).

We attempted a season-low 8 3-pointers, making half of them.

Crosthwait hasn't been herself the past 2 - 3 games. I wonder if she nursing an injury. She only took 3 shots in 28 minutes.

So many of our turnovers are the lazy kind. Fortunately our defense is good enough to stop some of the potential points. But overall another good win. Let’s get a sweep here too tomorrow.

What is going on with Jackson? Is she injured?
She did not play last week either.

Believe she suffered a concussion and hasn't been cleared yet.
