WBB at WMU tonight 6 p.m. ESPN3 and 98.9 FM/1360 AM

Hoping to see some benchwork, pick it up without Chelby Koker. Will be interesting to see who starts at pg, how coaching adjusts.

NIU (7-10, 4-5 MAC)
WMU (11-5, 5-2 MAC)

Won by 14 after being down 8 at halftime!

How exciting! That’s a great win, especially on the road.

Instagram tells me the fellas were in attendance.

Goodbye Kalamazoo!

Not only on the road, but without your best player. And by their record, against a good MAC team.

Obviously a very small sample size--but Jayden Marable two starts at point guard 49 minutes----ZERO turnovers. I understand that her role in the offense is completely different than that of Chelby---but Chelby's glaring weakness was turning the ball over---72 turnovers this year against 73 assists.

And---it is so nice to see Paulina Castro on the court with some decent minutes. Hoping her back is well enough to contribute.

Back to the playing well portion of the cycle---let's stay away from the other side for a while, please.

Absolutely. Castro hit 5 of 5 from three; if she and Janae Poisson start hitting at the same time, it will rain threes. And Marable played a very competent pg (as MP noted). Also listed as a soph, so game experience a definite plus.

WBB has won 4 of last 5, heading into a "homer" with BGSU on Weds. 6 p.m./ESPN3/98.9 FM/1360 AM. Falcons are 9-8, 4-4 MAC. NIU is 8-10, 5-5- MAC.

If they play like they have been playing for the rest of the year, a 3rd, 4th or 5th seed is a possibility in the conference tourney. The only drawback is the teams ahead them have a couple of games in hand.

Now we know Koker is officially done for the season.

Quote:Koker sustained a season-ending knee injury during Wednesday’s game against Kent State University and will be out for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.

The women beat Ohio today (Sunday) 80-70. Great job, ladies!!

Way to go Lady Huskies! Keep it going!
