1PM start today.

6-6 game at the media TO, after another uninspired start by the Rockets.

Cook is dressed and playing today.

Looks like Lockett may not be wearing her brace today. Hopefully that bodes well for a return before too long.

Wiard the bucket and 1 and UT is up by 5

14-8 UT after 1.

Rockets missed a bunch of layups and made several dumb turnovers, or they would be up way more.

Just no offense at all. 18-13 UT at a late media TO in Q2

Defense has been the highlight of the first half so far.

Good to see Jess Cook on the court

15 fouls and a dozen turn overs in the half for Toledo. Last possession features poor ball movement and passing.

Ugly game. With a capital U.

21-14 UT at the half. Rockets all looked scared to shoot.

Seems that Coach Cullop is trying to Soleil Barnes into the flow of the game. Her defense is the currently the best part of her game. On the offensive end, she is out of sync. Strange.

Dykstra also getting some minutes with Goss in foul trouble. Like everyone else, Dykstra's defense was better than her offense.

The lineup feels very hodgepodge the past couple of games. You can tell the game flow has been interrupted with uncertainty of passing lanes and cuts just a tick off. Confidence isn't there with Q and Cook injured and the new players a bit behind the veterans who are playing faster.

We are used to being crisp and a well oiled machine. The mechanisms which kept the engine flowing aren't in sync.

29-21 UT. TO EMU

Good observations; on the line changes, the offensive sync isn’t there yet. Upside is the defensive help. That, and the ball movement to get the ball inside to Hannah Noveroske on the blocks.

After missing seven triple tries in the first half, EMU’s Smith has made two open threes in the second half.

Missing layups . . . Ugh!

Yes, a lay in!

4 points from Cook, and the Rockets get to a double digit lead 35-24

There we break a press on a rebound, get numbers, then pass it to Cook who is so unsure of herself and wide open, she almost travels then bricks the bunny but is bailed out by a foul. Very "off" today.

Man is Sophia fast and smart though. She looks like a WNBA guard trying to teach a college team how to run the floor.
