#25 vs. #26 at the Barn tonight

[heymyfav]

Gopher women cracked the Top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today Poll at #25. They host South Dakota State, listed 26th in the poll, tonight at 7. Could be a dandy, the last time SDSU was here they won a "buzzer-beater" that refs later ruled shouldn't have counted. No TV, on WCCO 830.

Audio only, but at least it's free, on gophersports.com.


SDSU has already beaten Wisc and one other big ten team, (and they only lost by about 10 to Brenda Friese's #10 maryland team) so this is a big test for the gophs.

33-28 Gophers lead at halftime. SDSU is killing the Gophers from 3-point land, the reason they are still in the game. Gophers opened with 8-0 run before SDSU reeled off 10 straight. Gophers then re-opened the lead at 29-22 before the Jacks closed it a bit before half.

UPDATE: Gophers built an 11 point 2nd half lead before it turned destructive ... poor rebounding, foul-prone .. SDSU was up by as many as 13 and won 65-55. Jacks outscored Gophers 36-22 in 2nd half.

Ellis-Milan had 15 pts and 8 rebs, McCoy 12 pts, Fox and Ohm 9.

Kristen Rotert killed the Gophers, 27 points with 6 3-pointers.

SDSU 3-0 vs. Big 10 teams this year.

One thing I've noticed about the ladies when the shots arn't falling it seems to affect everybody; even our best shooter Ohm. It happened against BC in the first half. Not a good sign heading into the Big Ten season.
