I knew it was going to be a low scoring game as both teams rank nationally in defensive points allowed and defensive FG%, but I wasn't expecting a 5-4 1Q.

Mulkey: 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks
Schwartz: 16 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, 1 block
Smith: 0 points, but 10 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block

Fresno State beat Missouri, 78-75.

Rematch of the 2014 Hawaii Bowl!

We need to do a better job boxing out. Our two biggest weaknesses-- turnovers and failure to box out on the defensive boards-- continues to bite us. We gave up 17 offensive rebounds to ASU. That simply cannot happen.

In the Fort Worth regional, Cal Baptist extended their win streak tonight, beating New Mexico. Houston lost to San Francisco.

Charlotte lost to Florida

Rice and 3 California schools left in regional winners bracket. So we will get the crowd support I guess.

Yes, but limited capacity.

Arizona State beat Missouri in their consolation game, 50-39.

Houston was supposed to play New Mexico but New Mexico decided to not play. Houston will move on to face Arizona State in the consolation chamoionship game.

Looks like Swayze is starting today. I don't see Wiggins on the bench.

Fresno already has 3 offensive boards and 4 second chance points.

Rice leads 8-7 at 5:28

Mulkey getting fouled but not getting the calls.

Fresno State is led by sophomore twin sisters who average 19.7 and 16.7 pts/game.

12-7, 3:47 left in 1st.

With Wiggins out it's imperative that Smith stays out of foul trouble (something she's been prone to the past several games).

19-9 Rice @ 2:20

3 from Schwartz! Much better start today, 19-9, 2:18 1st.

25-11 @ 0:38

Rice has come to make the 3's today! 25-11, under a minute in the 1st.

25-13, end of 1st.
