3-9-07 Women’s b-ball vs. Creighton halftime

The Sycamores lead at the half 47-32.
The one problem the Sycamores have currently is fouling. Laura Rudolphi was benched with two, Rachel Maenpaa sat with two, Laurence Rivest has two and Kelsey Luna has two.
I have to say this: the Creighton band has an interesting sound with the use of keyboards and a cowbell. It’s very distinct and I kinda like it, although I love the Sycamore band.
Both teams started rusty but then the Sycamores heated up behind some stellar shooting by Luna. She has 16 points on six-for-seven shooting from the field, including four-for-five shooting from behind the arc.
With the current foul trouble, the Creighton post players were able to score inside and scored 14 of their 32 points in the paint.
The Sycamores are shooting 70.4 percent. Yeah, 70.4 percent! Creighton is shooting 75 percent from the free throw line, but 37.5 percent from the field.
I don’t expect the Sycamores to come out flat, they’ll probably get it inside to Rudolphi and Maenpaa early and often and try to force the Creighton post players to go to the bench with fouls.
Check back after the game to see if the Sycamores held on to win.
