WNIT Championship Live Thread

[bringbacktherantboard]

If we can't have a live thread for the ladies playing for a CHAMPIONSHIP, then when can we?

NU trails 16-12 at the end of the first. Let's keep it close and pull it out at the end.

Ladies are shooting ice-cold. They're bound to heat up (at least some) as the game goes on...

If the announcers say “Wildcats” again, I am going to scream.

17 points in 37 possessions. That is UGLY!

Scoreless for over 5 minutes to end the second period.

The 'Cats have come from behind several times this tournament, of course.

This must be NU's worst game of the season, by a lot.

AZ must wonder how NU ever made it to championship because it's so one sided.

The nouncer said at one time NU was shooting 26%, and they've missed a few more since then...

6/27 for 22.22% FG%. Plus 11 TOs. Arizona’s defense is intense.

NU and Arizona have both forced the same number of turnovers. I don't think the defense is the problem. I do think the crowd has rattled NU and it's tough to find the rim in that environment, especially when not accustomed to that kind of environment.

Need to cut the lead under 10 by the end of this period.

Congrats to the ladies for a good year. Not going to happen today though.

Yeah, was kinda afraid of this outcome. Was just a bad matchup on the road playing this odd one guard four forward lineup. If we couldn't shoot well, we would get absolutely annihilated on the boards with that size, and that is exactly what happened..
