We started slowly, particularly Abby Wolfe. Pulliam carried is in the first quarter, scoring 10 of her game high 27 in that quarter. But Wolfe really came on, dominating the offensive glass as the Cats pulled away. Burton did her usual magic with the steals.
This team is fun to watch!

Haven’t been following, how good are they? I’ve never seen a program with worse luck—decommits, injuries, family and personal challenges.

 

[NURoseBowl]

Sounding like I'm gonna have to get out there.

 

[mekCat]

Quite good, potential to finish high in the B1G. Pulliam is as good as they come. We've got players. Turnovers are way down, a big weakness of prior years. If we stay healthy, I expect us to finish top 25.

Thinking of coming out for the Maryland game on NYE. Sounds like an important challenge; IIRC, isn't Maryland typically at or near the top of the Big Ten? I went to a WBB game against them a couple of years ago, and it was pretty much all Terps.

MD is highest ranked of the B1G teams in the AP, at #12. Indiana is 14, MI is 23. MN, MSU, our Cats, IA and Nebraska also received votes.

 

[NURoseBowl]

Wow, so eight Big Ten teams in the top 35 or so. This'd be a terrific win for the program. Still recovering from a hiatal hernia repair a week ago, so it'll be a gameday decision, but I hope I'm able to get out there.

 

[Alvious]

Cats not ranked in most recent poll, but that will change if we win tomorrow afternoon.

 

[NURoseBowl]

Hope a decent gathering shows up.
