Turned the game on with the Trojans holding a two point lead at about the one minute mark, so I don't know what happened for most of the game. I notice reading the box, that the Trojans had 17 steals to NTU's 8. NTU had 26 turnovers to the Trojans 11, while the Trojans were out rebounded by 10. Rebounding or the lack of is going to get us beat, and we're not to stout on the free throws either.

Now, the question I have is , how did this game get into OT when obviously NTU evidently had 15 more turnovers than we had, and only half as many steals.? They shot a little better % than we did. NTU evidently was sloppy as hell.

It was one of those nights where the ladies had good shots but they would not go in. UNT had a good first half and the ladies tighten up their D in the 2nd half. Our defense was the key to the win. Good teams find a way to win even when they are not shooting well.

Yea, I noticed from the box that NTU's shooting percentages dropped somewhat from the first half. They usually play better defense in the second half, after Foley makes some changes.

Foley does a good job of making adjustments.
