26-25 UT after a feed from Q to Nan

Garcia for three!

29-25 UT

Wiard looking like Tim Reiser finding Q in the lane, she get's fouled.

32-25 Rockets.

32-25 at the Q2 media TO.

Rockets have picked up the defense in the second quarter. Excellent ball movement.

What a pass from Wiard to Locket between 2 defenders for the transition layup!

Good start ladies!!!!!

Wiard picks up her 2nd foul.

Q just killing ISU in transition.

I am so pulling for the Rockets. Need another MAC team to put a mark in the Round of 32 ... and beyond if Toledo can get it.

Awful call on Garcia as the ISU player had her arm hooked. Huge change in momentum as ISU gets a 4 point possession. Terrible

43-36 UT at the half.

Really, really good half for the Rockets. 20 more minutes.

Wasn’t an awful call. Garcia created too much contact

Q and Wiard 11 points each.
Garcia and Jansen 7 each.
Sammi 4
Goss 3

Q also has 8 rebounds.
Wiard 3 assists.

ISU's Joens had 9 points very early in the 1st, and she still has 9 at the half.

What I saw was that the ISU player had her arm pinned under the ISU players' and Garcia tried to get free. Can't see how that should be a foul on Garcia.

My take is the contact was caused by the ISU player.

ISU All American Ashley Joens getting the calls in her favor. She may have a minor in acting if not a major.

Joens has 11 points at half 3 of 12 from the field (1 of 3 beyond the arc) and 4 for 4 from the foul stripe. Rockets have made her game tough.

Minor encouragement? #12 Florida Gulf Coast beat #5 Washington State 74-63.

Odd for me to say but ... Go Rockets!

Stop being a homer Tom!

Was it questionable? Sure. But it’s NCAA D1. They are going to call ticky tack crap in the paint and unless it’s obvious offensive player control foul, it’ll be called on the defense. My take was Garcia hip checked her and Joens responded
